OXCGN's Steal It For 360: Little King's Story Review - Wii

OXCGN writes: "Don't let the cutesy graphics put you off, Little King's Story is deceptively deep and at times frustratingly challenging. There is nothing little about Little King's Story.

Little King's Story has a charming narrative with dark undertones. Your chief advisor, a knight who evokes Don Quixote, pushes you towards world domination."

I was thinking of picking this game up actually, think it was $35 Au at Target...

I'd hate to spend a long time on a game for it not to save...and have to start again.

Yes, that does sound like one major flaw in the game, but it seems rather deep in many other areas . .

That is the single most frustrating part. Luckily if you're fighting one of the ridiculously difficult bosses and die you get the option to continue at the beginning of the fight. That lessens the sting a bit, because some of them take a long long time to whittle down.

I just can't seem to get into Wii games no matter what.

Don't like the bright kiddie colours?

The thing that sets this game apart from other Wii games is that there is absolutely no use of the Wii's proprietary technology. No motion controls at all! No shake the Wiimote minigame, no pointing when going through the menu system. Nothing.

I loved this fact. Trying to force motion controls where they don't belong can take you out of a game.

Godem5376d ago

Im still not tempted enough to pick this up..

I love strategy type games and the Wii doesn't have a lot of them...I'll have to have a look at this. Great review.

Little King's Story review - ChristCenteredGamer

"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.
