    There's a lot more to be said about Dokuro than what I've already written-I could talk about the wonderfully elegant art style, the charming character design, the ability to skip difficult sections, or the way each level is broken down into bite-sized chunks perfect for a handheld game, but I'd just be reiterating the same thing I've basically been saying all along-Dokuro is brilliant, and by far the best puzzle game I've played in quite some time.

    Dokuro is a wonderful game if you love the platform genre and you're ready to swear at several very difficult puzzles.

    Another charming gem for Vita. [Apr 2013, p.86]
  4. It can be devilishly challenging, but never seems insurmountable. [Apr 2013, p.115]

    I thought this game is expensive but after playing it I can say they should have increase their game's price. I mean on it's game play, it should worth more than 20 bucks Expand
  3. $20 for a puzzle game? Yeah it is pricey but is still a good game and would be better at $15. I would recommend this over Escape Plan despite the price. Unlike Escape Plan the controls are actually good and you spend more time figuring out the puzzle and less time wrangling the controls. I could do without the combat and the music is super annoying after a while but this game is a lot of fun and there is a lot of puzzles. I will probably never finish it but that is OK because it is a good game to go back to when stuck on a plane. Expand
  4. I'm not into jumping games thing but surprisingly this game did challenge me. love it! Even tho the princess is kinda annoying but it really makes the game work! Expand
