    The daunting scale of Dokapon Kingdom is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. The length of the story mode heavily depends on the people you’re playing with and how efficiently you complete objectives, but discussion of the game online tells me that it takes roughly 25 hours to finish a single playthrough—and that’s if you’re quick! This enables an incredible opportunity to craft an ongoing adventure with friends that devolves into spiteful chaos as time goes by, with tension higher than any other multiplayer game I’ve ever played.

    I would like to start by saying a few things. One, this game is a commitment. I will say that right now. Although the game offers other gameI would like to start by saying a few things. One, this game is a commitment. I will say that right now. Although the game offers other game modes to play and enjoy. The main mode and selling point of the game HEVALIY requires friends and time. in order for it to be enjoyable. I was fortunate enough to have a group of friends willing to join me and play the 100hr story we had. Two, the following review is a based on all Four of our opinions combined. Third we played on the Japanese version of the game as one of use speaks the language, and we wanted to play it as soon as possible.

    Although the start of the game is fairly slow. I feel like it gave us a fair amount of time to learn the combat and events properly. The simple Rock paper scissor style combat of Counter, Guard, M.Guard. Turned out to be a lot more stressful than it seems. The Classes were probably one of our favorite parts. Part of our gameplay was trying to get every class unlocked just so we could see what else there was in the game. The one thing I actually appreciated was every Class had its own armor. And the weapon in the game actually has a texture to it and made a visual difference. It's simple but made me want to keep certain weapons longer, purely based on its looks. Overall, it was enjoyable RPG elements all the way through till the end. The story itself took us about 40hrs with maybe 4-5hrs of grind and farming. The other 45hrs was delays caused by us constantly F**cking each other over. The fact that the game not only lets us fight each other, but also lets us steal or prank each other was too much power to give us. Constantly we were robbing each other or the stores. Only to cause minor inconveniences to each other so we could win in the end. Our progress graph by the end of the game looked damn near like 3 different heart rates on one monitor. With one of us basically flatlining most the game. Overall, the whole experience was fun and hectic. The only issue I had was because it was so long, and we chose to do this local and not over Wi-Fi. We took Basically 1-month IRL to beat the game only due to us making time to meet up. We took so long, that the USA version of the game literally came out yesterday as of this review, and I decided to buy myself that version. I hope that goes to show how fun the game is. But again, it heavily relies on you committing to beating it and having a reliable friend group.    … Full Review »
