Little King's Story[a] is a real-time strategy life simulation role-playing video game co-developed by Cing and Town Factory for the Nintendo Wii.

The player character is a timid boy who has found a mysterious crown which gives him the power to charm people and make them follow orders.

"[6] An altered re-imagining of the game was released on the PlayStation Vita under the title of New Little King's Story to fulfil a licensing contract with Konami, although this version was later discontinued.

Though starting in what is essentially a cluttered field, player begins to upgrade the kingdom of Alpoko with activities such as treasure hunting and fighting.

Within a few hours, player is able to purchase and institute various buildings, training facilities, and other castle commodities, while the population steadily grows.

For example, a farmer is exceptional at field work and digging, but is a poor fighter, while soldiers are strong but lack the ability to traverse environmental obstacles.

Courtesy of varied civilian complaints, Corobo can accept missions that range from fetch quests to hunting and fighting that allow him to keep his public satisfied and increase finances.

Alpoko is only a small portion of the world, which the players must explore in order to advance the plot, collect valuable treasures and bounty, and conquer the seven rival kingdoms.

Corobo is also appointed the ruler of a little kingdom known as Alpoko, accompanied by Howser the Bull Knight, his friends, Liam and Verde (who become Minister of Anything and Record Keeper, respectively), and a slew of obedient citizens.

After building up Alpoko slightly, Corobo is issued a challenge by a foreign kingdom, which he defeats and conquers, gaining more money, territory, and a princess to keep and be with.

While doing this, the little king also meets Skinny Ray, a man who claims that the universe is coming to an end as evidenced by earthquakes of growing magnitude, though nobody listens to him.

Upon choosing any one of the princesses or Verde (who also loves Corobo) to be with him, the king sets forth into space only to discover that his universe is contained within a box, and that its inhabitants are actually microscopic in size.

It is then revealed that many of the characters are actually fantasy versions of people the owner of the box knows (Howser being a deceased grandfather turned into a knight and many of the bosses being parodies of various influences throughout this person's life).

[8] Kimura had previously worked on cult titles such as Moon: Remix RPG Adventure and Chulip, and came up with the concept of Little King's Story.

[10] The official website held a "UMA" (Unidentified Mysterious Animal) contest, where people were able to send a sketch of a monster they created.

On August 24, 2011, it was announced that Marvelous Entertainment was working on a reimagining to Little King's Story titled Ō to Maō to 7 Nin no Himegimi Tachi ~Shin Ōsama Monogatari,[b] published by Konami for the PlayStation Vita.
