Synopsis:
"This is good, but what is best in Life?"
You are the Young Corobo Bred, who one day stumbles upon a mysterious crown that gives him the ability to charm people and make them follow his orders. As King, it is now your responsibility to give your simpleton subjects the illusion of happiness and extend your reach of power to the rest of the world! Using the Wii remote and nunchuk, build your town, raise your populous, defeat the UMA around you, and then the vile infidels of neighboring kingdoms, if only to steal their wealth and women.
Now, gamer, would you not set forth with your small inner circle for the power to rule the world?
Gameplay:
"The open steppe, a fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair"
As said in the synopsis, the whole of the gameplay is designed around the expansion of your kingdom to the rest of the world. In order to complete this monumental task, you must first rise your kingdom of Alpoko by purchasing houses to train the lazy clods who first inhabit your grand land into your loyal and fanatical army. Train farmers, soldiers, archers, chefs, lumberjacks, whatever your country needs in order to defeat the barbarian pigs of neighboing lands.
Characters:
"WRONG! Corobo, what is best in life?"
Howser, the Bull Knight: A grand knight, and your most trusted advisor and general. He rides a cow and shows no mercy. With him under your command and his words of wisdom at your ear, there is nothing that can defeat you. Howser gives you the missions to expand your reign, as well as helps to you plan your grand Capital out as it builds.
Liam: The man-giant who is also right by your side as you gain your power. Behind his large, clumsy hulking exterior, Liam hides a fountain of knowledge and experience. His job is to advise the most efficient method of going about daily tasks.
Verde: A pretty, cheerful girl, her place under your man-god regal powers is Secretary of Records and deals with all of your in game information and statistics and to write down your grand rise to Man-God Emperor of the Earth!
The Harem of Princesses: As you go about uprooting the "legitimate" ruling bodies of other nations, there is usually a daughter of the newly disposed and executed regals. It really would be a shame to dispose of these... beautiful relics of the old rule. No, it would be best to keep them for yourself, isn't that right?
Your Loyal Subjects: Yes, each of your loyal peoples, each of whom would gladly give their lives for your grand, divinely attributed goal of gaining power of the world. Oddly enough, each of these plebeians has their own lives, goals, and aspirations. So, in order gain your dream that much sooner, talking to the townsfolk gives the impression that you actually care about their worthless lives, thereby making them all the better for using to increase your rule.
Corobo Bred: That's you, the king, the Man-God, the Ruler of the Earth as appointed by the heavens. What are you still doing talking to me? GO FORTH AND CONQUER!
