The story in Kingdom Tales is minimal and simplistic, primarily revolving around a lighthearted narrative of befriending dragons while completing resource management missions. Although the plot lacks depth and character development, it adds a charming touch to the gameplay, making it enjoyable for casual players. Overall, the cute storyline complements the game's mechanics without overshadowing the core experience.
“It was somewhat worth its discounted price though because the story was so cute.”
“There's barely anything here in terms of story or characters, but it doesn't get in the way.”
“A naive story of getting friendly with the dragons runs along by completing the missions of each level.”
“While the mechanics are always the same, they are used in many ways within the story: early on you'll be saving the tree of life, helping some druids, and loading up ships for a journey.”
