Little King’s Story starts as it means to go on: with a sense of humour and charm that’s as sweet as possible without tipping over into sickliness. It begins with an introductory animation that explains how the lead character finds a gateway to a fantasy world and is immediately embraced – by a strange chap named Howzer the Bull Knight – as the land’s newest monarch, despite the fact that he’s barely old enough to tie his own shoelaces. It’s not the story that’s so charming, however, but the way it’s told. The animation takes the form of colourful chalk doodles brought to life while off-screen characters hum classical music as an accompaniment. And from there it’s clear that this strategy game is as dedicated to capturing your heart as it is to engaging your brain.

However, there's more to Little King's Story than that. It's not just a glorious celebration of farming crops, finding treasure, living the pastoral ideal and making friends with cows called Pancho. It's also about monarchy, oligarchy, religious hegemony, the effect of industrial growth on socio-economic power structures, feudalism and genocide. But are the graphics any good?
