Initially released for Wii to rave reviews, Little King’s Story is a cult classic real-time strategy game that juxtaposes cutesy fairytale visuals with some decidedly adult cynicism. The result is a zany, irreverent adventure that’s both charming and thought-provoking.
You play as Corobo, a young boy who is crowned king of the small kingdom of Alpoko after his father is killed in a war with the neighboring kingdom of Onii. Corobo is initially reluctant to take on the responsibility of kingship, but he soon realizes that he must do everything in his power to protect his people from the Oniis.
With the help of his loyal subjects, Corobo sets out to rebuild Alpoko and make it a prosperous kingdom once again. He must gather resources, build new structures, and recruit new citizens. He must also defend his kingdom from the Oniis, who are constantly trying to invade.
As Corobo’s kingdom grows, he must also make difficult choices about how to rule. He must decide how to allocate his resources, how to deal with dissent, and how to respond to the demands of his people. These choices will have a significant impact on the future of Alpoko.
