"Initially released for Wii to rave reviews, this cult classic real-time strategy game juxtaposes cutesy fairytale visuals with some decidedly adult cynicism for a zany, irreverent adventure to build, enhance, and maintain a mystical, magical kingdom. Making its way to PC for the first time, this edition of the game remains faithful to the Wii original, but brings all its charming, sassy fun to a new audience. Can you keep Alpoko safe from the Onii and help our little hero become king of the whole world?"
"Once upon a time, in a small, unremarkable village, there was a timid little boy who didn't have any friends. One day, while playing alone in his bedroom, he was rudely interrupted by a family of dirty rats. Chasing them out of his room, the little boy suddenly found himself lost in a vast, mysterious forest, where he happened upon a magical crown that imbued him with the power to command. The little boy -- with his newfound companions Liam, Verde, and Howser the Bull Knight at his side -- has (rather surprisingly) become the leader of the small, down-on-its-luck kingdom of Alpoko. With his newfound powers of persuasion, the little boy began working to raise Alpoko from the depths of obscurity and poverty into the dizzying heights of absolute power and prosperity. With Howser offering effective advice and unrestrained ambition, and the citizens of Alpoko sharing his grandiose plans (whether they want to or not), the little boy marches ever onward to his ultimate goal of World Domination!"

Little King's Story was a great game for the Wii, and probably one of the best. The game is practically a mix of Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and some other RPG-like elements. If you enjoyed anything Pikmin related, you will most likely enjoy Little King's Story As of 02/02/2017 I had previously given this game a thumbs down and a negative review before this date due to the many bugs, glitches and frame rate issues the port had. However! With the recent (and long awaited) major update, I can finally say that this game is worth purchasing and playing now!
Just adding the recent chorus that say this game is in a much better state than previously reported. Instead of abandoning the port XSEED/Marvelous decided to take action and should be commended for their efforts. Special thanks to Durante who has once again cleaned and polished another port from mediocre to sublime. I wish I could say other Publishers/Devs learnt some lessons here.
Thanks to the recent update, this game should have no performance issues even on the lowest specs. There are a few bugs here and there, as well as a few animations not being up to speed, but with the new help that the developers have been getting, I'd say buying the game is well worth the $15 on sale til the 10th of Feb 2017. Especially for it's nostalgia factor. Remember to report any bugs you do find so that the game can be polished properly.
Good game, bad port. As much as I'd love to relive LKS on PC, the port makes that much more difficult that it needs to be. Although some patches were released three years ago to fix some performance issues, the game is still riddled with bugs and instability. For example, one boss is infamously difficult in this port because of a bug that prevents you from entering caves. Did nobody playtest this before selling it?! The crashes are the worst, though. The game could crash at practically any time, but especially during boss battles. You will probably have to beat a boss several times just because the game has a 75% chance of crashing on beating them. That's just how bad this port is. If you own a Wii, I definitely recommend pick up a physical copy of this gem. The port is frustrating to the point of ruining the experience.
Any issues with the port are now gone, and what a wonderful thing it is. The Little King's Story is very much like Pikmin in style and controls, but it has a cheerful fantasy element to it as well. While it may be a little slow at start, once you unlock the main classes for your minions and expand the map, it's a great game that deserves all the attention it deserves. Which is a lot, I tell you!
Little King's Story is a rather unfortunate case of fantastic game/bad port. I don't have the best computer (Dual Core Skylake processor running at 3.4 ghz and a Nvidia Geforce 950) but there is no reason a Wii game should run this poorly. Frame drops and freezes are common, even on the 30 fps setting, and the whole game runs sluggish in general. I love the game however and I will defend it to the end. LKS has a amazing blend of pikmin and animal crossing gameplay with the sort of humor you would find in The Phantom Tollbooth or Earthbound. Such a mix is why I recommend it. Pick it up on sale or buy the Wii version, either way is worth your time. 02/03/17 Edit Finally, LKS gets the port that it has deserved for so long. With improved functionality and fixed framerate, there is almost no reason not to add this legendary game to your library!
