SimCity Lite for XBLA? - A Kingdom for Keflings

by Terrence Stasse on Jul 23rd 2008 1:30AM

So who's read Gulliver's Travels? Raise your hands, don't be shy. Hmmm, more than we would've thought. Those familiar with the tale should remember the island of Lilliput (and its rival) which was the home of, well, tiny people. A Kingdom for Keflings is rather similar in concept: you're a giant among insects (so to speak). From there the game concept adds in some dashes of SimCity and Black & White, as the goal is simply to build a city and castle as well as attract more Keflings.

While coming to us from the same devs who did Band of Bugs, A Kingdom for Keflings looks like it's doing things that we've all seen before. Hopefully Ninja Bee will find the sweet spot of city-building, avatar control, and simply watching the simulation play itself out, so that the game doesn't simply tread old ground.

"SimCity Lite for XBLA?"

That's all I read.... well played X3F..well played.

/crying

I really wish Ninja Bee would do a Cloning Clyde sequel. That was one of my first XBLA games, and still is one of my favorites.

I am probably one of a a few people who bought Band of Bugs.

Fool me once; shame on me.

*Fool me twice; shame on me.

*flees*

Don't you mean *fleas* ?

...
My deepest apologies, I couldn't resist :(

what's wrong with BoB?

this is instant purchase for me! love both NinjaBee games

I was hooked on that game when it came out. I was the only game of it's kind out at the time on XBLA (Commanders wasn't out yet).
Not to mention they supported the game with like 3-4 DLC packs which included new single player missions as well as mutli-player maps.. You can't even say that about some of the more mainstream XBLA titles.
So in conclusion if I had to do it all over again I would. NinjaBee rocks.

Hardly Sim City but I'll keep my eye out for this. Bit disappointed the giant doesn't squash the Keiflings when he walks over them....

Looks great, count me in! Finally more creative games that involve more than just shooting things.
Ack, I must be getting old, I'm starting to sound like my parents.
