Result of reflection and work by a very large number of well-known Japanese, Little King’s Story can be likened to a huge patchwork quilt, with each clip, each plot perspires the déjà vu. But between the aesthetics of an Animal Crossing, the outlines of a Pikmin gameplay or the management side of a Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - My Life as a King, the title co-developed by Townfactory has not really something to complain. It is not in its inspiration or its repeated that lays its success, but in its assembly forming a coherent whole. Surprisingly easy to access and particularly taking, Little King’s Story does not worry any Manichean struggle with unbearable suspense to extend its addictive nature, because it operates on the contrary, a minimalist grid, points of humor ironically distilled in the naivety of his main character.In fact, Little King’s Story puts us in the shoes of a young boy, Corobo, which, following the unexpected discovery of an ancient crown, was proclaimed ruler of Alpoko, a kingdom in full decay. Without a penny, and with limited human resources, this small town will need an exponential growth to become the greatest kingdom that has ever existed, the ultimate goal in this game.

The great architect of this company is obviously the King Corobo. Vestige of a romanticized form of absolute monarchy, it is not the type to get their hands dirty in, which does not mean it is not a man on the ground. Indeed, Little King’s Story is a game that emphasizes the leadership skills to manage all the resources that are available. Concretely, this is translated into a gameplay that borrows heavily to Pikmin. But all actions are contextualised, and then you will understand that Little King’s Story obliges us to deal quickly with various trades. Soldiers for fighting, farmers to dig in places filled with treasures, a few carpenters to hammer when requested, and the opportunities for interaction are numerous on the ground, so it is imperative to use versatility in shaping our guard not to multiply the return trips unnecessary and inevitably tedious. One point we stress a second time for the players ankles waste, given the place and role occupied by the castle. Combining both the roles of backup point, rest, place of harvest gold in exchange for the treasures and objects collected, and for strategic management, it articulates around him the course of a day so this position will be deemed detrimental to the smooth progression by some. However, it is preferable that it allows delaying the pace of discussions, thereby enabling us to measure the extent of the work, and enjoy the life that teems the kingdom.

The money is easy to find in Little King’s Story, one appreciates the presence of this margin of error that requires further dissipated to rebuild their financial health in case of excess. Unfortunately, not all is positive in the game grip to begin with, suffers from a lack of a lock system. We note the presence of a wave system in question, but this merely to indicate the exact point of collapse of our men, rather than targeting an interactive element. Similarly, the pathfinding largely improved, because some big trouble once out of the plains that makes up the surroundings of the castle. The recruitment of a team of field can also be tiring. Pick one by one we need is less funny as the kingdom grows, and not for the construction of a podium to collect his troops that will change anything. The system helps to sort the good forces, but with regard to the formation of a heterogeneous group, it will return.
