New Little King's Story is a strategy-RPG hybrid developed by Marvelous AQL, released in 2012 exclusively for PlayStation Vita. A reimagining of the 2009 Wii title Little King's Story, it features a new narrative and revised mechanics adapted for the handheld, including touch-based controls. Players assume the role of King Corobo, who must reclaim his kingdom from a villain known as the Devil King, The Nightmare. The journey spans seven distinct locations, each guarded by a dark lord who has taken a royal princess captive. Combat is built around commanding a Royal Guard, with players issuing charge and retreat orders to their troops in real-time engagements. Strategic planning allows Corobo to expand his citizen army and extend territorial control. The game blends real-time battle direction with RPG progression and simulation elements across its overworld and combat encounters.
