Gamereactor has reviewed Little King's Story on Nintendo Wii.
"Little King's Story isn't for everybody, and some people will simply say that there's not enough happening in the game, that the style is too childish and that its charm is too peculiar. Others will find its charm irresistible, the graphical style colorful and happy, and the challenges welcome. Personally I find myself somewhere in between. I certainly would have preferred the game without the grinding, and sometimes what it borrows from other games are a bit too blatant, but I must also admit that my hours spend in Alpoko has sneaked past the 20 hour mark a long time ago. Therefore if the genre appeals to you at all, you should go ahead and give Alpoko, and especially Howser Oreganostein a chance. If for nothing else, when is the next time you will get the chance to encounter a bullknight?"
Little King’s Story is essentially about a kid living a fantasy, and these elements really add a layer of unease into that fantasy.
NoobFeed writes: "Publisher Xseed Games has launched a patch for the PC version of Little King’s Story on Steam, fixing most issues with framerate, adding graphical options and improving controls. To fix these launch issues, the company turned to Peter Thoman, who is better known as Durante online."
"Armchair general" is a term in gaming used in strategy games where you're controlling armies from the comfort of your gaming chair. It can be fun and we have plenty of games that explore such an idea in multiple ways. XCOM 2 or Starcraft 2 are great examples of this genre; leading units against enemies in waves and commanding and positioning them can be great fun. Sadly, while Little King's Story is a decent game, its reputation is marred by a poor PC port.
