many branches that you can miss completely if you don’t have the right skill sets. As a big fan of titles such as Princes Maker and Monster Rancher which share some traits with Long Live The Queen I enjoyed the game immensely. It is undoubtedly a rather niche title but before you dismiss it out of hand I urge you to check out the demo first. You might just be pleasantly surprised by what this game has to offer. Long Live The Queen makes for a nice change of pace and is one of those titles that…

lack of knowledge. Ignorance caused love, violence, and poor decisions that ultimately led to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. Ignorance caused many things that lead to the death of Romeo and Juliet.
