'''''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]: [[My Life As a Darklord]]''''' is a [[Wii Ware]] game that takes the [[Tower Defense]] concept to its logical conclusion. You're put in charge of a sixteen-year-old Darklord-in-training named Mira (the daughter of the main antagonist from this game's predecessor, ''[[My Life As a King]]''), and you lead her and her monster army in an all-out war against the human race. Being the new [[Big Bad]] in town, [[Hero Antagonist|heroes]] from all around the world have lined up to attempt to defeat her. Her main goal in each stage is to fortify her tower with strong monsters and artifacts to protect the crystal on top (the crystal contains the remains of her father) against wave after wave of heroes.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: The characters in the demo version mention several times that it's just the demo.
Line 18:
** A possible subversion, as the previous game hints that the Darklord was a Selkie who was corrupted by the Miasma, which makes Mira a hybrid of two human-like races.
** Of course, then there is the basic idea that Darklord is some sort of race to begin with...
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: The Mus. They're cute little squirrels that can't do much damage, but they're ridiculously fast and can be fully upgraded at the cost of just summoning a higher level monster.
* [[Living Toys]]: Your [[Exposition Fairy]], Tonbetty, is a living tonberry plushie.
** There's actually a Clavat girl in there. So Tonbetty is wearing a costume.
Line 26:
*** It's weird that none of the adventurers thought of doing this earlier in the game. Back then, most adventurers were of the same type (melee, range or magic) and came in smaller parties with plenty of delay between them. This is even true in the final level to some extent. Complete inversion of [[Took a Level In Dumbass|Took a Level in Dumbass]].
** Taken ''[[Up to Eleven]]'' when you combine this order with [[Master of None|master of none]] adventurers who can ''halve'' the HP of any monster/artifact, adventurers who stay on the floor for literally two seconds, [[Boss in Mook Clothing|almost every adventurer is a ridiciously high level]], and almost NO delay between each party of adventurers (meaning if you don't defeat a party in time, the next party will simply waltz up to the top floor and make you lose).
** Admittedly, this has been effective in terms of revenue, as the game practically forces you to buy powerful monsters/artifacts so you can simply ''complete'' the levels. If you don't, the amount of time spent retrying levels would be much better used to get a job.
* [[Perspective Flip]]
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Mira's outfits are mainly this.
* [[Previous Player Character Cameo]]: King Leo from ''My Life As A King'' cameos in the last battle in the base game. Taken to an incredible extreme, if you have ''My Life As A King'' and its corresponding save installed on the same Wii as ''My Life As A Darklord'', Leo and the kingdom's names change to reflect the custom names input in ''My Life As A King''.
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Took Several Million Levels in Badass]]: In the first game, Leo didn't do any fighting. In this game, he's the final boss, the most powerful enemy, and overall a genuine [[Badass Adorable]] (we're talking about a kid whose balls haven't even dropped yet).
* [[Restart At Level One]]: Between stages, Mira's tower will fall apart, and you'll have to rebuild it against the next wave of "goodies".
* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: The Melee -> Ranged -> Magic -> Melee variant, with Generic units that can [[Master of None|fight anything]].
