Game Description

Fortunately for Princess Pea, huge things come in small packages! Based on the movie of the same name, you'll step into the boots of a chivalrous mouse, known castle-wide for his honor and courage. Follow along the story of the film and expand on the world as you travel from the magical kitchen to the colorful rooms of the castle, all the way down to the rat-infested dark dungeons. Learn the skills you need with the introductory training level, then use mouse-centric unique abilities and upgradeable skills to fight off animal and human foes. The all-star cast voices the characters to fully drop you into the world of Despereaux!
