Dokuro is a video game developed by Game Arts and published by GungHo Online Entertainment originally for the PlayStation Vita[2] with later ports to iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch. The player controls Dokuro, who must save a princess after the Dark Lord wants to marry her.[7]
The player is Dokuro, a skeletal worker for the Dark Lord.[8] One day, the Dark Lord captures a princess and forces her to marry him.[8] Dokuro sees the princess crying which breaks his heart and he thus decides to help her escape the Dark Lord's castle.[8] Dokuro can flip switches to open up paths,[9] carry the princess after drinking a potion,[9] as well as others. The game's levels grow steadily more complex as the game progresses.[1]
Development
The game uses a graphical style that imitates artwork in a children's storybook.[8] The game's director, Noriaki Kazama, previously worked on gory video games such as Ninja Gaiden Sigma under Team Ninja.[10] Kazama said that after he had a baby, he browsed through children's books at the bookstore and was inspired by the art style.[10]
