Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact cartridge. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Most video game skeletons exist only to be smashed by the hero. Dokuro is one of the Dark Lord's lowliest minions, a little bag of bones who falls for the princess his master has kidnapped and decides, against every instinct of his kind, to sneak her out of the castle. She has no idea he is on her side, and that tender, slightly ridiculous setup gives this Game Arts puzzle-platformer more heart than its size suggests.

The princess walks on her own, and she is hopeless. She will not step down even a single ledge, she strolls cheerfully toward spikes, and if she falls, the stage restarts. Your job is to clear her path: flip switches, shift platforms, crush monsters and solve each room before she blunders into danger. Dokuro's secret weapon is a Prince Potion that turns him into a dashing hero for a short time. The prince swings a real sword and can scoop the princess up and carry her, so juggling the two forms becomes the heart of the puzzles.

Everything is drawn in a chalk-on-blackboard style that makes each screen look like a storybook brought to life, creepy and cute in equal measure. As the adventure goes on, the chalk itself becomes a tool: drawing on the touchscreen with white chalk links objects together, red chalk lights fires and blue chalk conjures water. There are 150 stages across 15 worlds, with new mechanics arriving steadily, and the boss fights are inventive puzzles in their own right, delivering the game's best moments of sudden realization.

Game Arts, the studio behind Lunar and Grandia, made Dokuro for GungHo in 2012. In North America it arrived as a digital download, so this original Japanese release is the way to keep Dokuro on a physical Vita card, a small, charming oddity with real artistic vision.
