Taking a page out of the Overlord handbook, Square Enix encourages you to fiddle with the dark side with the upcoming Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord, which will be available on WiiWare this Friday July 17th.

My Life as a Darklord is a follow-up to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. This time you play as the daughter of the Darklord, whose mission is to put monsters and traps inside your tower to ward off those pesky, smiley-faced adventurers. It sounds almost like a Tower Defense-type of game to me, but you’re building upwards instead of on flat ground. Future DLC includes more monsters and artifacts to build your traps, and of course, costumes. Because you still want to look fashionable while being bad.

Here are some screenshots.
