Fat Princess is an action real-time strategy video game for the PlayStation 3, developed by Titan Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released in North America and Europe on July 30, 2009, and in Japan on December 25, 2009. It was included on the "Best of PlayStation Network Vol. 1" compilation disc, released June 18, 2013. A PSP version called Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake was released in 2010.
Fat Princess is a multiplayer game for up to 32 players, with the basic goal of rescuing the Princess and bringing her back to the team's base. The players pick up and carry cakes to feed the Princess, which makes her heavier and harder for the enemy to carry back to their own castle. The game contains six character classes (Villager, Worker, Priest, Ranger, Mage, and Warrior) and three downloadable classes (Pirate, Ninja and Giant) each of which contributes to the team's task of capturing the princess in a unique way.
A sequel, titled Fat Princess Adventures, was released in December 2015 for PlayStation 4.

From that point you will no longer be able to:
• Spend any earned or purchased gold on in-game items.
• Earn access to a pack of 30 gold coins for escorting your princess past Level 15.
• Download the game from your library, but you may continue to play the game in offline mode until it is removed from your PS Vita system.
In-game purchases have also now been disabled.
In Fat Princess, players play as team members. There are two teams, red and blue, with up to 16 members each (32 players at total). To make their opponents' task more difficult, players can feed the captive princess cake slices. With each slice, she becomes heavier and harder to carry back to her respective castle. Over time, the effect of the cake wears off.
Players can change their character classes and abilities by picking up hats that are generated by the hat machines at their team's castle. Hats can also be found on the warzone where enemies have fallen. The game's six classes are the Villager, Priest, Mage, Warrior, Ranger, and Worker with three additional classes (Pirate, Ninja, and Giant) from Fat Roles add-on pack. Each class has its own unique set of abilities and skills, and different amount of health. When damage is taken, the health level is reduced and all classes except giant can sit to eat cake in order to restore health. The three classes from Fat Roles add-on pack do not come from hat machines, instead they come from a magic hat. Players can pick up this hat and press ('Triangle') to switch between the three classes.
