Time to kiss your friendships goodbye! Atlus has announced a brand new game that should bring some RPG elements into the decidedly casual world of party game play. The game is called Dokapon Kingdom, and it’s headed to the Wii and PlayStation 2.
As it happens, Dokapon Kingdom places each player in the role of a man who’s been offered an entire kingdom. All you have to do is rid the kingdom of beasts! With three other friends vying for the throne, it’s not going to be easy to level-up and become the King, but you’ll definitely have fun getting to the top.
As for what the game has in store for us, here are the features for Dokapon Kingdom (as taken from the press release):
- Innovative board game-RPG crossover – Tired of shallow gameplay in party games? The genre gets retooled in this exuberant mix of role playing and board games! Encounter zany characters, collect rare items, and explore a fascinating kingdom on your quest to vanquish monsters, gather treasure, and level up!
- The friendship-destroying game – Turn the heat up on your rivalries! Take on up to three other soon-to-be-ex-friends in the race for Princess Penny and the crown. Battle, steal, deface – playing dirty is the name of the game – through a variety of locales and challenges. After your friendships are broken, the game is just as much fun to play alone.
- Never the same game twice – Tons of battles, magic spells, mini-games, and multiple play modes add up to endless replayability!
- Easy, intuitive, and effective combat system – This is no boring game of hack-and-slash. Players covertly choose their actions in an intuitive battle interface that guarantees every fight will surprise.
Will it dethrone Mario Party 8 as the front runner of the party game scene on the Wii? We’ll find out in October, as the game is pegged at an October 14 release.
