Welcome back to another edition of “Whatcha Playin”, an article about me playing a game exclusively for one week and I tell you my deepest thoughts on it. For this week I got to enjoy a true gem, Dokuro by Gungho Online Entertainment.

What the game is about
Dokuro is a 2d action platform puzzle game. A Dark Lord captures a lovely princess, and takes her back to his castle to make her his new bride. You play as a Dark Lord’s minion tasked to look over a captured princess. However after a change of heart you become her hero and try to escort her safely out of the Dark Lord’s castle.

Who is this game for
This game is for those who enjoy puzzles that often include a quick response. The puzzles are often pick up and go, none that I encountered required too much time to solve. However this does not mean the game is not difficult. Many of time I made a fool of myself getting mad at myself and displayed a quite tantrum. The game has golden coins to collect in each stage to add to the difficulty of the game. This game also includes Boss battles that adds both action and puzzle solving to beat them.

Final thoughts

I enjoyed playing this game, and at a later time will continue to enjoy it. The game feels as if you are playing an old silent movie that was drawn in chalk. It is a cute and whimsical game that won me over without trying. One of my main reasons why i enjoyed this game is of the story it tells. The story shows that it is not what we are but who we are that is all that matters. Another main reason why I like this game is it’s solid control, even though I personally hate touch buttons, the game still played great.

Outro
In conclusion, if you want a game to fill in that waiting time on a line or at a doctors appointment this game is great for that and then some. Just remember when you’re in public places not to make a fool of youself.
