PS VITA NEW LITTLE KING'S STORY KONAMI IN JOHANNESBURG

A sprawling role-playing epic set in a beautifully-realised game world, New Little King's Story follows the player as they assume the role of a King tasked with reclaiming his kingdom from an invader known only as 'The Nightmare.' King Corobo, a plucky 14-year-old royal, presides over a stricken land. The evil Nightmare is running havoc and the populace lives in fear as it preys on them. Thus, as Corobo, the user must unite their subjects in order to fight back and reclaim the kingdom. New Little King's Story takes the form of a roaming role-playing title, with the player recruiting the isolated pockets of subjects into a unified army. Advisors and warriors will offer specific skills and attributes, adding skills to the growing army and enhancing their abilities. The game allows the user to move freely around the scrolling player in the search for recruits and for items that will aid the quest. The touchscreen of the PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system allows the player to control and arrange recruits and send them into battle or to search areas with simple finger movements, with groups of subjects easily marshaled and moved. The game world changes dynamically as Corobo's army grows, confidence returns to the land, and the subjects return to their normal routines as the tide turns against the Nightmare.
