Simulation RPG Unites Real-Time Strategy and Adventure into an Enchanting Storyline
Torrance, Calif., (July 21, 2009) – XSEED Games and Marvelous Entertainment USA announced today that Little King’s Story for Wii has shipped to retailers across North America. Little King’s Story is a highly-acclaimed, epic adventure title that unites life-simulation, real-time strategy, and adventure elements along with a captivating storyline to offer a unique gaming experience.
After 35 years of life without a ruler, the one true king has finally arrived. Once a shy, timid young boy, the time has come for King Corobo to take his throne and restore prosperity and wealth in the destitute land of Alpoko. Using his dominant powers of persuasion and his royal scepter, King Corobo can easily assign the lazy citizens of his run-down kingdom to a variety of tasks and job classes. From Animal Hunters to Hardworking Farmers, bring your kingdom to life by putting these “Carefree Adults” to work digging holes, treasure hunting, fighting UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animals) and constructing bridges in order to access new lands.
Ubisoft has been one of the few developers to be making use of the unique features available for the DSi, with games such as Rabbids Go Home and My Cooking Coach topping the list.
