Fierce_LiNk Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 After seeing this in a HMV for a measley 6 quid, I've now purchased this. Can't wait to get started on it. Not now though. Tomorrow, probably. If it's rubbish, I will hang you, Fused King. (I know it won't be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostOverThere Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I did the right thing. I bought this for my friend for his birthday. Come September, I shall do the same for myself. It makes me feel manly buying two copies of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Ok, so I've been playing a fair bit of this, and here are my impressions so far. It's a great game. I'm really enjoying the upgrade-your-town aspect of it. I'm visiting quite often to see if anything new has come up, haha. The art style and humour is wonderful, and I'm surprised by the difficulty of this game. I died quite a lot against the Onii King! The only thing that is slightly annoying me is to do with the controls. Where you press Z to aim, and you see that "line". Sometimes, even if you're just slightly off, my party will run straight past an enemy! I would prefer something like the Zelda games, where you can lock on to a target, and then you just throw the party towards that target. Apart from that, I'm loving everything about the game. You do get the sense that you are the owner of a thriving town. Just like Pikmin, you become attached the characters and feel sad if one of them does die in battle.

Retro_Link Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Regarding throwing your troops, I never used the 'guide line' myself, I found it a bit of a distraction... but I never really had any real problem getting my troops to go to the right enemy either. I'd suggest never using the circular 'protect the king' alignment, because then it REALLY can get confusing even as to what way you're facing, let alone what troops you are sending out. It also becomes a lot easier to move your troops around in and out of battle as the game progresses with certain upgrades you can buy. Enjoy though!!... Onii King is a little tough for a first King, and infact the next two Kings you may either find difficult or frustrating... but especially once you get past those two, IMO the game REALLy comes alive and it keeps getting better and better!

Hmm, I'll try your technique of turning the guiding thing off. I need to rely on instinct! Not lines. The Onii King really did piss me off whilst I was playing it. Sent in my archers first of all to hit the pots that were coming at me. But, I found it hard to seriously damage him. I took about half damage off before I died. Then, somehow, I managed to do it without losing any of my men. Hurrah! It's a great game. I'm a little worried that I may have seen everything that can be seen already, but I hope I'm wrong there. This game also makes me a little sadfaced that we haven't seen a new Pikmin yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You haven't seen everything yet. Far from. Also like Retro_Link said, you should change the formation of your people. I found the best formation to be standing in a line behind the king, easiest to send them into battle then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I had a lot of trouble with King Fused, he just kept on fusing other kings together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the best formation to be standing in a line behind the king, easiest to send them into battle then. Hehe, that's alright then! Is that the normal formation? Where you have them lined up in rows of 2 or 3 behind you? I know you can upgrade, and some upgrades are available (defensive and evasive) but I was saving up for something else. I've been whoring more of this game today. Spent about...4 hours playing. Where does the time go?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 I mainly used the formation where they are in rows behind you... depending on your surroundings having them in a ling single line could lead to them taking damage... but basically keep them behind you. And believe me, you have FAR from seen everything!! Some of this game will blow your mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Should say, I defeated King Shishkebaboo on first go last week or sometime. Whoever said he would be frustrating was wrong on that one. Found him very easy. Granted, I sent 18 troops to their death but I got him down easily enough. I mean, what would a king be if he didn't have expendable soldier : peace: Especially if they simply wash up on the beach the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 He's only frustrating if you don't understand what to do... as I didn't! I just didn't understand the concept of the fight... but yeah it's easy once you know... and obviously if you get it right away! He was probably my least favourite King also... *nom, nom, nom* to you too, you fat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I have been away from Little King for almost two weeks. My Wii is in Newport. I am looking at it. And my Little King (on the disc, I don't actually have a Little King...actually) is in Bournemouth. ... I wanna play. Damn you, absorbing games.

drahkon Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Been playing this for an hour. Started on hard and I think it was the right choice to do so. I've defeated the cow and now the festival is going on. Is there anything special to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I thought someone had just started LKS and Fused King had pounced to offer his usual enthusiastic encouragement... but how mistaken was I, haha. I'll get to LKS soon enough, Fusedy. Fear not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Fused King, you'll be happy to know that your ramblings convinced me to buy Little King's Story when I visited London. The bad news? I plan to play Lost Age, Dark Dawn, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn and DKC3 before I start on LKS. Awesome opening, though. I expect good things from this game.
