What can I preview in the time it takes for dad to cook dinner and call is brother? I know Little King’s Story.

It’s been awhile since I bitched about people wanting evil games and telling them to buy something else- the soul purpose of a preview. But this time I dare say I have a reason- I’ve found a game which deserves some more recognition before its pushed out in mass regions around the globe from the end of April.

But the sad thing is I don’t really know much about this title- I dare say I’m going to hype it like crap only for the world to notice that I lied and it quite possibility could suck.

But some small background on the development, it was a few years back and someone decided it would be a good idea to group together a dream team. This consisted of guess who- Cing- yes that is the main reason why I know about this title. It also consisted of Marvelous Entertainment and Town Factory.

So this dream created some slur- what was it that they were working on? Would it be worth it? and the biggest question of all- Does my fanboy instinct want me to flap over the game?

Well it turns out it wasn’t flappable in a hot girl kind of way- but the dream team did put out with a title which has an interesting promise and a great fresh idea. Then someone decided WiiWare is a much quicker way to produce games and out came a total rip off of the concept in Square-Enix form.

Little King’s Story however does have an upper hand- while Square totally ripped out the idea of building and expanding a kingdom- Little King’s Story goes beyond that simple concept.

So after a freaky cow riding paedophile makes you into a king- you have to wonder what his motives are. But after you become king people have this weird feeling to follow you.

So after these people start their adventure of been slaves to a little kid you start to build up your kingdom by building objects and fighting monsters. In the end you get bored of your little village and decided to invade other peoples kingdoms and make a new world order.

So as your kingdom expands from a little shack in some old seedy mans province, in the end it becomes a magical kingdom.

Potential Score: Thumbs Up

If the dream team isn’t enough to make you want this title- then the expanded ideas and concepts which didn’t get converted into a small as title for WiiWare is.
