Dokuro Screens and Gameplay Details

GungHo has made formal announcement of Gamearts' new PlayStation Vita action title Dokuro, complete with screenshots introducing the story and gameplay.

Dokuro begins when the Princess is kidnapped by the Dark Lord, who plans to marry her. He locks the Princess away in his tower until the wedding.

You play as the game's titular character Dokuro. Dokuro guards the demon realm and is entrusted with watching the Princess, a duty that he takes seriously. However, seeing the Princess cry evokes a strange sensation in him. Hoping to see the Princes return home, Dokuro betrays the Dark Lord, frees the Princess, and attempts to lead her to the tower exit.

That's where you come in. Taking control of Dokuro, you'll need to lead the Princess through the tower, successfully navigating gimmicks and traps along the way. Dokuro can transform from his normal ghoulish self into an attractive hero. In ghoulish form, Dokuro is capable of performing double jumps, allowing him to reach hard-to-reach platforms. In hero form, Dokuro can carry the princess.

Looks really cool, hoping for a stateside release on this.

[Cheesemeister]

Dokuro means "skull" in Japanese.

[PantyPhantom]

I like the art style, definitely interested.

Sorry I couldn't help myself.

[ThisWreckage]

More games like this for the Vita, please.

[chickdigger802]

Looks cool... but I kinda wish I can play this on my psp =/

[Dr.Palutena]

Looks great can't wait.

Well played!

[ReaperXL07]

Really curious as to when we will see some footage for this, i've seen information for this game floating around for awhile, but these are the first real screens of gameplay I think. Can't wait to see it in motion, the artstyle is really cool imo.

[Barkley's Justice]

I'll be needing that for mmmmmm on the house.

[Callibretto]

full retail game or psn downloadable game?

[kerrak]

I'm interested in this.

[Ken]

Looks very cool. Will keep an eye on it.

[ReaperXL07]

full retail game or psn downloadable game?

I don't think we know that yet, could be both as most Vita games have been so far. It's being made by GameArts who made Ragnarok for Vita and that was retail aswell.

[Frost_Ace]

gamearts still exist? :o

[Danielsan]

Really digging the art style.

[Azure Dream]

Same, the chalk look is very creative, although not completely consistent in those shots (especially the bottom-left one).

[Jonnyram]

Looks cool but I hope it's properly priced. It sure doesn't look like a 5000 yen game.

[Shito]

Dark Load.

[sakipon]

Too bad I don't usually like to play this kind of genre. Visually this one looks great, I like their sort of minimal color palette... a bit of Limbo-ishness mixed with traditional look of fairy tales.

[chris.trejo]

Love the art I just hope it plays well too

[frostbyte]

This is going to sound redundant and all but I love the art style and the back touchpad stuff looks interesting.

[leesmapman]

Tim Burton fans will love this.

[lowrider007]

Dark Load.

Evil sperm!

Really like the look of this, this is the type of software I think the Vita needs, something unique and original taking advantage of the features of the system.

[michaelius]

How many development teams they have ?

That seems really fast after Ragnarok.

[GhaleonQ]

Nice. Their WiiWare game was a must-play and it's GameArts, so I have high expectations.

[Acquiescence]

Awww yes, definitely liking the look of this. The plot synopsis is a cute one too.

[Haunted]

Looks cool.


I think this is the kind of game Phil Fish would like.

[Kafel]

Will buy.

[Luigiv]

Nice. Their WiiWare game was a must-play and it's GameArts, so I have high expectations.

Which Wiiware game is this?

[Dog Problems]

Which Wiiware game is this?

The Magic Obelisk

Somehow remind me of Corpse Bride.

[george_us]

Looks pretty awesome!

[trinest]

Wow this looks awesome.

[impact]

How about Ragnarok Odyssey in the US GameArts? Damn bastards!

[bunbun777]

Outland meets Ico meets Escape Plan? Looks like a $15 game maybe, I am interested. yay for more games.

[ReaperXL07]

How about Ragnarok Odyssey in the US GameArts? Damn bastards!

XSeed has been hinting strongly for an RO realease recently, so it's probably coming sometime this year hopefully.

[Finaika]

Dokuro means "skull" in Japanese.

I hope they name it "Skull" if it comes out in the US.

[theBishop]

Looks pretty. Never played anything from GameArts. Decent Studio?

[dallow_bg]

This is going to look very pretty.

[ReaperXL07]

Looks pretty. Never played anything from GameArts. Decent Studio?

Well although it's not exactly the same company they used to be as awhole, GameArts is responsible for games like Lunar Silver Star and it's sequel, The Grandia games, Silpheed, amoung others. They most recently made Ragnarok Odessy on Vita which is one of the more popular launch titles if i'm not mistaken.

[GhaleonQ]

The people there now are quite talented guns for hire, but they're a archetypal 1990s developer. You ought to play at least 1 game them by them, as they are relentlessly charming. There might be no more charming developer of that era.

[kittens]

Really hope this game comes stateside. I'm gonna get a Vita eventually, and this looks really cool.

[Teknoman]

Hopefully it hits NA along with Ragnarok. So far those two, along with Uncharted, are planned purchased for the day I get my Vita.

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Nice artstyle.

This is on my watchlist

[Luigiv]

The Magic Obelisk

Oh yes, I remember that game.
