I'd definitely compare it to Mario Kart, but arguably more balanced than Mario Kart.Īlso, others might disagree with me, but I honestly can not imagine this game being very fun without a few friends around. I'll add more about that game once I'm more familiar, so far it's more of the same, but PORTABLE. I just bought two copies of Dokapon Journey on DS so my younger sister and I can take this on the road. I'm sure there are lots cause this game is honestly amazing. So come one come all and discuss your DOKAPON KINGDOM stories. You also get to look like a badass demon version of your character during this time as well. If you're in fourth place and feeling down on your luck, you can be offered a trade to essentially sell your soul (along with all money, towns, and resources) and have all of your stats quadrupled for the next several turns as you can revive boss monsters and completely kill all other places and throw everything they have away. So much is left to chance that you'll often spend ten turns completely DOMINATING everyone, and thinking you've got it in the bag, and then for the next ten turns someone else will take EVERYTHING you just had and mock you all the while. One of the most interesting gameplay aspects is the fact that there's really no way to dominate in this game. Money is the single most important thing to Dokapon society, and the game comes off very tongue in cheek because of it. The mains storyline focuses around the king of Dokapon sending you on various quests and errands with an overarching goal of making money. There are three classes available at the start:Īnd you can max these out in combination to one another to unlock more and more classes! In addition every time you level you can add stat boosts to whichever one's you'd like. It's not the deepest leveling and stat system but it really allows for a lot of customization. Part of what makes this game so fun is there are so many ways to play it. 'The Friendship Destroying' game feels quite accurate as although many quests require the players to work as a team, in the end it's easier to betray your friends because inevitably only one of you can be the victor. So you had to compete for quests and resources. Imagine if you were playing DRAGON WARRIOR on the NES, except, 3 of your friends were playing DRAGON WARRIOR as well. The player who wins the story mode gets to marry the King's daughter - even if the player concerned is female. A unique system of upgrades makes sure no player gets too far behind to catch up and get ahead. The game is won by the player with the most money at the end.

Due to the tension these events are likely to cause, Atlus has dubbed the game 'friendship destroying' in their marketing materials. They also have the option of stealing tax revenue and player-controlled cities. Players can obstruct each other by hiring assassins, or bandits to cause harm to the player. Human players may leave and be replaced by CPU opponents at any stage of the game, and vice-versa.Ī key element of the game is hindering the progress of other players. The game will always include at least two characters and the game allows one to four human players to participate. Three starting classes are available to the new adventurer (warrior, thief, and magician), and following a pattern of leveling, ten character classes are possible. Multiple magics and stat changes play out both in battle and on the game board, while class-specific skills increase with player level. Landing on an 'empty' yellow space or another player will typically cause a battle, which plays out in rock-paper-scissors style, with the Attack option beating Counter, the Counter option beating Strike, and the Defend option resisting the Attack option.

Players will have the freedom to choose the direction they want to go. Players spin a spinner and then move to any spot on the board that is reachable by moving that number of spaces. The game is a hybrid board game and RPG with modes varying from story mode to battle royale.

This is for the Wii/PS2 original game that inspired the DS sequel:

The recent discovery of DOKAPON JOURNEY on the DS by Tycho has prompted me to make this thread. So I searched, couldn't find a thread dedicated to this.
