NinjaBee making A Kingdom for Keflings News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

5 June, 2008

NinjaBee has whipped the wrappers off yet another Xbox Live Arcade outing called A Kingdom for Kieflings.

Kieflings are short and happy "beings", apparently, that like working hard by building cities. While actual hard fact on the upcoming game is scarce, this suggests a strategy affair with a healthy dose of fun and laughs.

NinjaBee focuses on bite-sized games for Live Arcade (and PC), and is responsible for acclaimed titles Outpost Kaloki X, Cloning Clyde and Band of Bugs.

Its track record suggests A Kingdom for Kieflings will be worth keeping an eye on, even if studio boss Steve Taylor has gone mad.

"I'll be honest here, I went out to my car and ten of the little guys were wandering around, bumping into each other and wearing little sandwich boards reading 'Will Work for Hats'," said Taylor, hopefully talking about Kieflings.

"We couldn't put them out on the streets after they worked so hard on our game, so we hired them to help around the office. They follow directions to the letter and are very friendly, but not too smart. The way I see it, what could go wrong?"

Well, murder, for starters.

At least their stuff is mildly orginal. Although I never really "got" them.

I thought this was going to be a game about Jack Bauer fans. I'm mildly disappointed.


But then re-amused by the insane studio boss.

Me too :)

Why hasn't anyone made a game for all the adoring Kiefer fans anyway?

You can't control Jack Bauer, that's why.

If this is a Sim-ish strategy like Outpost Kaloxi but deeper, where you run a kingdom instead of a space station, I'll be keeping an eye on it. I do like their games.
