<big>Pros</big>
- The chalk-like visuals offer something new.
- The game contains no motion controls at all, so it provides a relaxing experience.
- The game is somewhat addicting, especially if you like expanding your kingdom.
- The game offers subtle drops of humor, for example, your villagers can have so many wives and husbands, makes fun of a different game published by Marvelous and some characters break the fourth wall.
- The boss battles are very unique. For example, you could be fighting against an obese king who can't even get out of his throne in one battle, and competing in a game show the next.
- You get to enjoy Little King's Story if you buy it
- The chalk-like visuals are a double edged sword. It sometimes hinder you from differentiating what's what and who's who in the game.
- The save system is somehow annoying, as you have to return to your castle whenever you want to save.
- Sometimes, getting money for kingdom upgrades get very,very repetitive as the upgrades are very expensive and the money you get from items is very little.
- You live a life of regret if you don't get it.
<big>How hard is it?</big>
The game is pretty laid-back on Easy and Normal, but very punishing on Hard. The bosses are harder to kill and are more powerful.
<big>Will I be playing this over and over?</big>
You probably will if you don't mind the constant grinding for money to get 100% on kingdom upgrades.
