The game is a blend of several genres: RTS, adventure and life-sim, tied together with a strong storyline and a control system that is simple and intuitive. New elements are constantly being introduced as the game progresses, but thanks to on-call tutorials and minimalistic commands, the learning curve is a mere 5-10 minutes at most. With its kid-friendly PG rating, Little King's Story is accessible to all ages. It is tailor-made for the Wii so there are none of the graphics or control issues that can accompany a ported version. Going multi-genre can be a risky gamble; we can think of several titles which have suffered due to an 'identity crisis'. In the case of Little King's Story, however, there is a perfect balance between genres and the gamble has really paid off.
Little King’s Story is essentially about a kid living a fantasy, and these elements really add a layer of unease into that fantasy.

To fix these launch issues, the company turned to Peter Thoman, who is better known as Durante online."
"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.
