The Cruel King and the Great Hero bears a very similar art style to The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince, which was also developed by NIS and released back in 2019. Both games feature that same 2D hand-drawn art style that really adds to the overall charm of the game.

The Cruel King and the Great Hero is now available on PS4 and Switch.
