Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My Life as a King

I've decided that I have way too many Xbox 360 demos in here, so I decided to add something from the Wii. FFCC:MLaaK is a game by Square Enix released in WiiWare on the Nintendo Wii. In this game, you play a young king trying to rebuild your homeland. You are accompanied by your loyal servants Hugh Yurg and Chime.

You are travelling, looking for a new place to start your kingdom when you come across a blank slate with a gianormous crystal in the middle of it. The crystal bestows upon you the magic of Architek, which allows you to create buildings from your memories of the old kingdom. When you build houses, it automagically adds people into them.

To build these buildings, you need something called Elementite. To gather it, you must commission the adventurers that live in these buildings. To commision adventurers, you need to pay them. To pay them, you need to collect taxes from your citizens. It's a vicious cycle. You start off with three houses, which is more than enough to pay three adventurers and start off your kingdom.

As you progress, you're able to build more buildings and hire more adventurers. You're also able to upgrade your kingdom through morale spheres. You gain these by talking to your subjects and raising their morale. With each one, you gain more stuffs.

This game plays one part Final Fantasy, two parts Sim City, five parts fun. It's a great game that's bound to keep you entertained for hours. I think it's well worth the 1000 Wii points it costs to download.
