Volcano Princess Launches on PS5 With 236 Trophies, 235 of Them Bronze
The daughter-raising sim arrives on PS5 today with one of the most unusual Trophy lists in recent memory, requiring players to earn every single Bronze to claim the Platinum.
235 Bronze Trophies Stands Between You and a Platinum
Volcano Princess, a daughter-raising simulation game in the spirit of the classic Princess Maker series, launched today on PS5 with a Trophy list that is, to put it plainly, unlike almost anything else on the platform. According to Push Square, the game ships with 236 Trophies in total. To earn the Platinum, you need to collect all 235 Bronze ones first. There is no Silver. There is no Gold. Just a very tall mountain of Bronze standing between you and that shiny top-tier reward.
Push Square editor Sammy Barker noted that while other games like Vampire Survivors have also amassed large Trophy counts over time, those tend to be spread across separate DLC packs. Volcano Princess stacks everything into a single main list, which is a genuinely rare approach.
What You Actually Have to Do
The good news, per Barker, is that a meaningful portion of those 235 Bronze trophies can be earned organically just by playing. Activities like accumulating study sessions or money are natural parts of the experience, so the list is not entirely made up of missables and nightmare-fuel checklist items.
The harder part comes from the game’s structure. Many trophies are tied to different endings and outcomes, which suggests that reaching them will require multiple playthroughs and some fairly deliberate decision-making along the way. Getting everything in a single run sounds unlikely.
The game itself asks players to take on the role of a parent responsible for raising a young girl in the Volcano Kingdom. According to the game’s description cited by Push Square, players can enroll her in one of four major colleges where she can study music, painting, or martial arts. Etiquette and social skills also factor in. Neglect her, and things go sideways. The game is described as critically acclaimed with significant depth beneath its unusual premise.
A Low Price and a Free Demo Lower the Barrier
For anyone on the fence, the entry cost is relatively low. Push Square reports the game is priced at $10.99 in the US, and there is a free demo currently available on the PS Store. Barker himself wrote that the game caught his attention despite having no prior experience with the Princess Maker genre, and that the combination of price and demo availability made him willing to try it.
The Princess Maker series, for context, has been around since the early 1990s and originated in Japan. These games have always occupied a niche but dedicated corner of the simulation genre, and Volcano Princess appears to be continuing that tradition while bringing the format to a PlayStation audience that may be encountering it for the first time.
Whether you are a Trophy hunter eyeing that Platinum or just curious about a genre you have never touched, 236 reasons to keep playing is not the worst pitch in the world.
