Our take on Doko Roko
The focus on upward progression and sword fighting leaves little room for activities beyond combat and exploration. Players looking for slower traversal or a wider mix of gameplay systems may find that narrow structure limiting.
What is Doko Roko?
Doko Roko is a 2D action platformer centered on fast melee combat and evasive swordplay.
Players fight demons while ascending the floors of an ancient, timeworn tower. Swords have different abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, and the game includes multiple challenging boss battles. The story is conveyed through the environment, alongside a soundtrack by Seltzki and pixel art with an atmospheric style. Secrets are also part of the game. Its structure follows an upward climb through the tower, with combat against groups of demons and bosses forming the main activity.
