Plot[edit | edit source]
As the title suggests, My Life as a Darklord is a direct sequel to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. The protagonist, Mira, is the daughter of the Darklord, the antagonist of the previous game. She lives in a tower that she must defend from marauding adventurers by populating it with monsters and traps.[1] You progress through the game by surviving hordes of enemies that are on adventures trying to destroy the crystal at the top of your tower.
Downloadable content[edit | edit source]
There is an option to download many different elements in this game such as new monsters, items, tower floors, levels and outfits. All downloads take a small amount of Wii Points to download but add to the overall game play.
Development[edit | edit source]
My Life as a Darklord was revealed at the 2009 Game Developers Conference alongside fellow WiiWare title Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.[1]
Reception[edit | edit source]
My Life as a Darklord has received generally positive reviews. IGN awarded it an 8.1 out of 10, calling it "an amusing strategy game and a standout title on WiiWare", praising the gameplay and presentation whilst saying that "The limitations of WiiWare are apparent"[2]. Eurogamer gave the game a 7 out of 10, praising the depth of the gameplay but complaining that without purchasing any of the downloadable content the player has "little room to really dig deep into the tempting tactical depths that the concept so clearly offers".[3] The game currently has a rating of 71.78% on GameRankings.
