A few moths ago Yasuhiro Wada (creator of Harvest Moon) gave us some details about his secret “Project O” for Wii, but now it’s no secret anymore.
Officially titled Ousama Monogatari, or King Story in English, the game combines RPG gameplay with real-time strategy and life simulation elements. Players take control of a boy named Corobo, who becomes king using a magical crown. Your task is to win the trust of your people and build your empire from zero.
Even though you don't directly control the people around you, you can give commands to groups of up to 10 people and head out of town to battle the beasts that roam freely, and give them orders to carry out tasks as you rebuild the towns in your kingdom.
"It's similar to Harvest Moon in that it's a family-orientated game and is aimed at gamers that have got bored of other games," Wada said.
"It incorporates life-sim elements. You could say its like Sim City or Sim World. However, in Sim World the player takes on the role of God to create a world, but in King Story the gamer plays among the people and creates the world around them from ground-level, not as God," he went on to explain.
He also revealed: "It will be a single-player game, with no plans for multiplayer. We've not really thought about Wi-Fi functionality yet either, but gamers will be able to download extra content."
Screenshots will be available soon. King Story is will be released in 2008, but we don’t know exactly when.
