Шаблон:Infobox video game Dokuro is a video game developed by Game Arts and published by GungHo Online Entertainment originally for the PlayStation Vita[1] with later ports to iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch. The player controls Dokuro, who must save a princess after the Dark Lord wants to marry her.[2]

Gameplay

The player is Dokuro, a skeletal worker for the Dark Lord.[3] One day, the Dark Lord captures a princess and forces her to marry him.[3] Dokuro sees the princess crying which breaks his heart and he thus decides to help her escape the Dark Lord's castle.[3] Dokuro can flip switches to open up paths,[4] carry the princess after drinking a potion,[4] as well as others. The game's levels grow steadily more complex as the game progresses.[5]

Development

The game uses a graphical style that imitates artwork in a children's storybook.[3] The game's director, Noriaki Kazama, previously worked on gory video games such as Ninja Gaiden Sigma under Team Ninja.[6] Kazama said that after he had a baby, he browsed through children's books at the bookstore and was inspired by the art style.[6]

Reception

Шаблон:Video game reviews

The PlayStation Vita and iOS versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the PC and Switch versions received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7][8][9][10] In Japan, Famitsu gave the Vita version a score of 34 out of 40.[11]

IGN said of the PlayStation Vita version, "Stunningly beautiful and exceptionally fun to play, Dokuro belongs in the library of every PlayStation Vita owner."[2] Joystiq claimed that "Despite the bony exterior, Dokuro feels like it has a real soul, like it was made by people who truly loved and believed in it. It's inspired, well-made, and thoroughly enchanting."[3] Game Informer, however, gave the same Vita version a mixed review, stating, "Between its unforgiving nature, unbalanced difficulty, and humdrum puzzles, I wouldn't have pressed on through Dokuro if I wasn't reviewing it. Rarely did I feel that fun "a-ha" moment that makes puzzle games exciting; instead I found tedium and frustration. I surely wasn't as devoted to this game as Dokuro was to the princess."[12]
