About the game

Once upon a time, a little boy from our world found himself in another, more mystical world where a magical crown made him ruler over a floundering kingdom called Alpoko. You are this little boy, and it's your duty to make Alpoko great...so you can then expand its dominion and take over the world!

One of the best Wii games ever. And one of my all-time favorites. In Little King's Story, you play a little king (no sh*t) trying to expand his kingdom. This means lots of exploration, conquest, fighting (especially against other kings), and sending disciples to crash into walls (yes).
