Doko Roko

Doko Roko is a fast paced 2D action platformer that could be challenging. So it is to bad there are no save points in the game. I had to play this game with keyboard (which is not really a problem) Because when I tried to play with a controller, the character just kept moving to the left or to the right. Here some gameplay: https://youtu.be/PShdqFWqLQ4

Whatever else I may think of the game, its very difficult for me to play. The gamepad controls seem to be overwritten by the mouse at certain times. The cursor never disappears and effects gameplay even when the control method is set to "controller". It seems like this "magic" swords to only shoot in one direction, and every time I die I have to put down my controller to confirm that I want to continue. After which the controller no longer works with the pause menu, settings can only be changed with the mouse. So, at this time, I cannot recommend

I have been tweaking the controls on the deck, and so far I'm really liking this game. I recommend using my control scheme as a reference point for your doko roko game. Make sure to have gamepad checked off in the settings. btw if you are having the screen flipped issue on the deck, you will have to launch Doko Roko using Proton Experimental. That fixed it for me.

feels bad writing this review, I've been following this game since the kickstarter like 9 years ago, but this game is so half baked and empty. Really no aspect of this game is fleshed out. Music, bosses, weapons, upgrades, areas, combat, enemies, general atmosphere all feel incomplete, like the developer had bigger ideas for these things but didn't have the time or resources to finish them.

아무런 소식 없이 7년정도를 기다렸는데, 게임이 재미는 있는데 한없이 얕아서 차마 추천할수가 없다.. 옛날 트레일러는 휘두르는 궤적부터 다른 몇몇개의 검이나, 빔같은 다른 공격처럼 보이는게 있었는데, 지금은 죄다 어딜 갔는지 짧음, 중간, 긴 식으로 검 하나당 세가지 분류와 짤막하게 본 검의 종류는 노멀, 파이어, 워터, 라이트닝, 매직, 익스플로전.. 저게 길이랑 조합되어서 나오는게 한 게임플레이에서 변화되는 전부다. 플레이당 해금되는건 없고, 던전 안에는 검 파는 대장간 하나, 피 회복 하나가 끝, 보스전이 끝나도 보상은 마찬가지로 상점과 회복. 보스가 여러종류 있는것같지도 않고, 스테이지가 바뀌어도 몹의 종류만 바뀌는게 전부. 실력이 좋다면 단 한번의 플레이로 끝을 봐버릴수도 있고, 여러번 플레이를 한다고 해도 초반을 반복할 뿐이라 크게 흥미가 가지 않는 구성... 조작 역시 검을 사용하는 액션치고 딱히 다양한 패턴이 있지않아서 금방 질려버린다. 들어가서 검 몇개 들고 보스로 직행해서 보스 뚫고 다음스테이지로 넘어가기를 반복해도 상관없는 게임이다보니.... 뭔가 많이 추가되기 전엔 다시 구매하긴 힘들듯하다.

I played Doko Roko from start to end and I enjoyed the game. I know the game has flaws and the game is not mechanically deep, but I still feel like it’s a good game. The aesthetics of this game is on point. Some of the levels can get a little bright, but I can assure you they all look amazing. The Inventory management and decision making are there as well, but there aren’t a variety of choices to make. The choices revolve around picking swords and thinking about what will you use them for: Fighting the boss or Farming in the world. At this point in time the game has some visibility issues. It can get bright and it sucks, but Doko Roko isn’t “Unplayable” as people claim. Try Doko Roko and you might be able to see what I see for potential this game has. Fun Fact even the dev has seen my video likes what I suggested. If you need more convincing consider watching my review too. Play the game, give Doko Roko a try. Video: https://youtu.be/E9jbxiJs6Es

great platforming, great slashing, great score, great friends, great job! for sure buy this

It's pretty fun to run and slash enemies. The art and music is very very good. And the bosses are fun to fight. Admittedly though, it does feel pretty bare bones to what I expected the game to be. As far as I know, you can't save and there isn't any progression outside of runs. It does feel unpolished in some aspects, like the controls and levels. But I'm fine with it. I'm more happy that it's been released now and I can play it. I think anyone who was interested in this game should give it a shot.

I honestly don't remember backing the kickstarter. From the little time I have played it, it's been a mixed bag. On one hand, the visuals are absolutely gorgeous, but on the other hand I don't understand at all where I am supposed to be going. This would be fine if exploration were enjoyable but the combat doesn't really feel that impactful nor does it feel there's a considerable amount of weight behind your swings despite the fact you're gonna be lugging around swords many times your size. I tried playing it on a Playstation 4 controller and as others have mentioned, only keyboard/mouse inputs work when you die so that's super annoying considering the game expects you to die over and over again given the roguelike gameplay. Plus, you need to adjust the dead zone otherwise your character will just keep running left or right constantly. Even then, it never really feels like you have adequate control over him because it always feels like there's a delay between when you let go of the joystick and when he stops sliding. Maybe I need to adjust the dead zone a bit more but regardless, I just can't find myself enjoying the game as is until these things are fixed, at the very least.
