Power Dolls

Little is known in the West about the POWER DoLLS series, apart from it being an obscure turn-based tactical strategy game developed and published in Japan mainly by Kogado Software Products, currently the internal development branch of Kogado Studio (whose original foundation traces back to 1916 when it was named Design and Prints Tani Kogado and then re-established as Kogado Studio in 1960, mainly focusing on graphic design). The company, currently led by the President and CEO Ippei Tani, started researching about video games around 1982 after having witnessed major hits like Nintendo Game & Watch or similar works done by Tomy or Bandai. In the following year they published their first video game ever, the PC-88 game Slot Crazy (thus becoming one of the few companies at that time who were PC developers, alongside Nihon Falcom and Koei), and then continued until today in producing software, mainly visual novels like Symphonic Rain or Tristia of the Deep-Blue Sea but also RPGs like the Sequence Palladium series or strategy games like our POWER DoLLS.

Palais de Reine (パレドゥレーヌ)

Release dates (Steam) Japanese (Windows version): November 10th, 2006 English: June 18th, 2020

“Palais de Reine is a diplomatic queen simulation + medieval fantasy romance. As Filia, the sole heiress to the late king, you should have inherited the throne immediately, but the nobles in your court strongly doubt your fitness. After much bickering, they decide to give you one year (no more, no less) to prove your worth. During this trial, you may choose four nobles to help you lead your country to prosperity, showing all who doubted you just how wrong they were. ...Or, you can let your heart betray you, and take one as your consort. The fate of the land lies in your hands! What kind of queen will you be?”

This is a strategy / stat raising / visual novel hybrid from 2006 with an English translation by Degica! You can buy it from Steam here.
