Little King's Story - Nintendo Wii

The game itself certainly isn't. Little King's Story looks like it might just be some cutesy childs game, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. This is a reasonably complex game of strategy that includes village development, army building, conquering territory, etc. It's hard to resist the addictive quality of the Little King and his loyal followers who will happily give up their lives for you. Story: You play the role of a young, lonely boy. One day he chases some rats that infiltrate his room, and in the process of chasing them into the forest he comes across a magnificent crown. This royal head piece causes the people of a nearby village to see him as their rightful king, and they obey you without question. Howser, the Bull Knight, gets you headed in the right direction to establishing your kingdom and world domination. You also find that the rats you chased live in you new "castle" which looks more like a hut. Gameplay: Similar to Pikmin or Overlord: Dark Legend, you have a group of units (your villagers) following you that you give commands to (you use the "A" button to send them to a given task rather than use the pointer like in Overlord: Dark Legend.) They can attack, build bridges, dig holes (in designated spots), etc. Your village has a certain population size as well as a maximum troop size that can follow you, so it's important to not let your villagers die needlessly in battle. You can give your Carefree Villagers jobs such as grunt soldiers and farmers that will grant them special skills to serve their liege all the better. As you conquer new areas, your village expands and new units become available. It shouldn't be too long before you have a sizable army of loyal villagers that can get married (adding kids to the village) and fill up your land. Controls: Fortunately, there are no real flaws to the controls in this game. If you tap "Z" there will be a targeting line aimed in front of you to show where your villagers will go if you tap "A" to send them on some task. This makes it easy to know if you're sending them in the right spot. The camera is magnificent. The only real issue I have is that the pointer wasn't used to guide your army, but it still works fine the way it is. You can easily sort your troops by type with a simple tap of the control pad, so you always have the right troops ready to command (a feature that is necessary in these types of games). Graphics: Very stylish. The artbook feel is unique, and it circumvents the weaknesses of the Wii's capabilities. It looks beautiful, and the style adds lots of flavor to an already appealing dish. Music/Sound: The music in Little King's Story is great. It's classical music, and it's integrated perfectly into the game. It fits the mood and enviornments better than I would have imagined. Their is no real voice acting, but there are some random mumbling sounds when characters are talking. In my opinion these mumblings are fine, but others might find it annoying. Overall: Little King's Story is an excellent game. The controls, graphics, sounds, and gameplay work together to make a great story for anybody willing to put the time in. It was well worth the money I spent for it (46.99 here at Amazon), and would advise anybody to give this game a shot.

It's addicting. If you like animal crossing this is your game (not as addicting as Animal Crossing). The fighting sucks and you end up wasting more time playing the game than actually PLAYING it. frustrating game. easy annoying. i like it

This game was very satisfactory. It arrived on time and i enjoyed it a lot. There are a lot of different things you can do in the game, and it appeals to many ages.

Dumb

I remember reading the hype about this game when it came out in Nintendo Power. Sounded fun enough: "You are a king. People follow you. People do what you tell them to do. You expand your kingdom." Hey! This sounds promising. And quite frankly, what was just described is exactly the game. However, keep in mind that this game is on Wii! So, there is the over cute factor that really starts wearing on you 20 minutes into the game. My wife came in and said, "this looks a lot like that animal game...." Animal Crossing. And you know what, she's right! What's wrong with Animal Crossing? Its cute factor starts wearing on you in 20 minutes. I paid $25 for this game and I'll tell you what, I'm regretting it. I would have much rather held on to my $25 gift card and purchased a different game on Amazon. Or maybe even a book. I think they sell books on this website, don't they? (That is a rhetorical sarcastic question.) Save your money. If you can find a rental store that is still in business, rent the game and get it out of your system.

Despite the incredible sales of the Wii system, great games have been few and far between. And great games not made by Nintendo are even less common. Now, with the release of Little King's Story, Wii owners have a fantastic third party exclusive. Possibly the best overall game released this year, and likely the best third party game released this far for the Wii. The game plays like a blend of Pikmin and My Life as a King, with a humorous, if wacky, story, and enough content to please most hardcore gamers. You, as the Little King, take control of your followers, each of whom has a certain occupation that provides abilities ranging from combat abilities to digging to climbing trees. Using these followers, the Little King must conquer the other kingdoms, uniting them under his rule. Other reviews have described, in-depth, the gameplay and attention to detail that make the game shine. While I think the game is phenomenal and should be a purchase for all Wii owners, I'll be brief and just point out a few things that stood out for me. First, the music in fantastic. I've seen complaints regarding it's 'recycled' nature, and simply don't understand - the score is excellent, varied, and the music fits the game extremely well. Second, the incredible attention to detail. The kingdom really comes alive as it develops, with people going about their business and animals walking around. Citizens seem to converse with each other and little things happen all the time that really pull you into the game. Finally, the learning curve of the game is near perfect. I never felt over or underwhelmed with the amount of content the game threw at me. I always had somewhere to go and something to buy. Several quests to choose from at all times. These are just a few things the game has to offer; either things I hadn't seen addressed elsewhere or that, IMO, were good enough to cover again. The game has a few flaws, although I haven't found them to detract much from the overall package. The awkward save system is, well, awkward. Somewhat inconvenient, and I've had to replay a good amount of days due to forgetting to save. The various menus are well done, but there are a few inconsistencies that could use some work (the map/quest status screens could have been better, as could the method for equipping items). The pathfinding AI of your followers is pretty poor, leading to citizens becoming trapped behind fences and staircases. And finally, the graphics are pretty muddy; I've had difficulty making out the identity of items (or seeing which citizens I had in my crew) at times. Overall, Little King's Story is a fantastic, huge game and should be played by anyone with a Wii. The game really transcends genres and the final product is a shining example of what good gameplay is worth and what can be accomplished despite the technological limitations of the Wii.

thanks all ok

It's a very good and fun Pikmin-like game, y'all should play it.

Llegó a buen tiempo y en excelente condición.

Este juego puede ser considerado una de esas joyas ocultas para el Wii. Buen juego de estrategia y administración de recursos. Lo recomiendo.

Fun, cute and steadily challenging. I've always wanted to play it back when it got high reviews in '09. Glad I bought it years later. Delivery proceeds was speedy too. Love it, and definitely one of my favourite Wii games of all time!
