WiiWare: GDC '09: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As a Darklord Makes You Defend Actual Towers

In Nintendo president Satoru Iwata's Keynote at the Game Developer's Conference, it was revealed that a semi-sequel to My Life As A King would be making it to WiiWare this year courtesy of Square Enix.

My Life As A Darklord will put you in the shoes of the Darklord's daughter who is in charge of dispensing heroes who attempt to steal the Dark Crystal. Essentially the opposite of what My Life As A King was, and like it it's a different experience to your regular Final Fantasy games.

In essence, this is a Tower Defense game, but unlike that of Crystal Defenders this will feature a more vertical stage to wreak havoc onto. You must set traps and deploy your minions with caution as you place them throughout the many levels of your keep.

It's looking very nice - far more thought out that Crystal Defenders's ports to other consoles have been. Definitely something to look forward to.

You can check out the official site here, though there's not much to look at right now. Worthplaying have gotten their hand on six direct feed screens which you can take a gander at here.
