Story
Once upon a time there was a young boy named Corobo. He was a shy, withdrawn boy with few friends. One day while wandering the forest near his village he came across a crown infused with a mysterious power; the power to charm any person and make them follow any order. No sooner has Corobo placed the crown upon his head than an adventurer, the bull-knight Howzer, appears. Howzer informs Corobo that he is now the king of his town and that it is his responsibility to become the best king ever. With that Corobo returns to his village and with the assistance of Howzer and two other newly discovered royal advisors, begins his efforts to turn his sleepy little hamlet into the best kingdom ever.

Gameplay
A blend of RPG, simulation and light Real Time Strategy gameplay, the action in Little King's Story is all about improving your skill level and those of your followers as a means of gaining wealth and territory, which will in turn benefit the overall health of your subjects and your status as king. As players enter their humble town after finding their crown, they are assisted by their advisors, especially Howzer, in taking on missions in the immediate area of town. With the success of each, as well as activities like farming and natural resources development, they will gain wealth in the form of in-game currency called 'Bol.' Once an essential infrastructure has been established in town a suggestion box is set up through which in-game characters can make quest suggestions to supplement those of your advisors. During quests players in the role of young King Corobo can control multiple subjects of his kingdom who follow and serve based on your kingly status. These subjects have different professions which come in handy in specific as well as general quest scenarios and should be chosen wisely. Additional training facilities can be constructed to retrain existing subjects as well as those that are added to your kingdom as it prospers and eventually needs to expand into surrounding territories.

The world of Little King's Story is expansive and set on many levels. Although each level contains multiple possible boss battles, progression through the game levels always requires the defeat of a substantial boss. Battles become more intense as you set out to conquer the lands that surround your kingdom, although these are never too overbearing due to the game's easy to alter difficulty settings. As these campaigns against neighboring kingdoms proceed you are kept aware of the health and happiness of your subjects at home and that of your troops via an information bar at the top left, as well as a ticker scrolling across the screen. Balance their needs with the needs of an expanding kingdom and you may indeed become the best king ever.

  • Multiple Sub-quests - Any good king puts the welfare of his subjects before himself, so help your villagers by accepting some of their requests.
  • Expand Your Kingdom - Unite the surrounding rival kingdoms under your flag to become the best king in the world.

4 out of 5 stars Simplistic game that is good fun and challenging   July 23, 2010
S. Byrnes (San Francisco, CA)
I didn't have high hopes for this game but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a very simple real time strategy game that is still challenging.

The strategy mechanics are very simplistic (you can build buildings but you can't decide where to build them) but the battle mechanics are surprisingly challenging. Even as an experienced gamer, you can quickly tackle quests that are extremely difficult.

The only downside to the game is that the instructions and the tutorials do not provide you with enough information. You can either read up on the internet or learn by trial and error, but you can't rely on the game to tell you everything you need to know. It does keep the game interesting but also makes it frustrating when you figure out there is a much easier way to do something.

Overall, it was a relaxing break from the intense nature of most real time strategy games.



5 out of 5 stars Good and fun story, and fun to play   July 4, 2010
ss3growntrunks
It doesn't have a deep story but it is fun enough. To give a little hint on how fun it is, you are taught that you are THE KING, and when other kings either challenge you, invite you for dinner or a party or whatever, your mission is to go conquer their kingdom for being fake kings.

It is fun and entertaining to play. I didn't like the ending personally, but the game is very fun. Recommended even if you are not a child. I am 22 years old, and I enjoyed it.

This game started out "fun". for a while.
After I got 3/4 of the way through the game it just turned mean.
Unrewarding for goals acomplished. Impossible progression of final
Quest. I dont want to spend 3 months with no rewards and total frustation
with a rutheless program.
...It looks like the only way they could extent the "play" with this game was to
make the end, unfairly hard. Too bad they had to do this.
...I would much rather have a game that is beatable, within reason, and have fun
doing it. This would be a very good game. If they would let you beat it within
a reasonable amoount of time....

4 out of 5 stars Little King's story   May 18, 2010
This game is one of the most fun games I have ever played. It is super fun and super addictive! The game play is very fun and I enjoyed it very much. One problem I had with my Little King's Story game, and you may or may not have it but in mine they wouldn't count the number of paintings I had. (By the way you have to collect paintings.) But overall this game is one of the best gaming experiences you will ever have. For people who like the games Pikmin and Spore, this game is for you.


5 out of 5 stars One of the Best Wii games period   March 26, 2010
Vinnie Vineyard (Knoxville, TN, USA)
A cross between Pikmin, Sim City, a Sandbox Game, RPG, and Real Tim Strategy, Little Kings Story looks like a kids game, but does not act like one. It has a great sense of humor, fun combat system and tackles topics like politics, religion and science. A must have for Wii owning adventure game enthusiasts.
