PlayStation Vita Critic Reviews

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.

I love Dokuro enough that I've stuck with it even after countless deaths, and I'll continue to stick with it long after this review gets published (because honestly, I'm nowhere close to the end, even though I've already sunk countless hours into it). It's a joy to play, and if you have a Vita, it's a must-own game.

Dokuro is simply one of the best videogames on PS Vita. Perfect for the Sony Portable Console with its style and mechanics.

Part puzzle game, part platform game, and all fun.

Dokuro is the unconventional love story between a schlubby skeleton and a beautiful princess that doesn't know he exists. But that isn't going to keep our hero from helping the troubled maiden escape the harrowing castle. With 150 challenging stages, Dokuro is an epic adventure every PS Vita owner should undertake!

Dokuro is an off-beat and unique puzzle-platformer with a beautiful aesthetic and haunting soundtrack. Its logic-based puzzles may not be for everyone, but the anti-frustration measures built into the game make it an easy recommendation for folks who don't usually like puzzle-platformers due to their difficulty.

I'm nearly 80 puzzles into Dokuro, and I'm still having a blast. In fact, it's been hard to put down.

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]

Dokuro is a beautiful surprise, full of charm and puzzles. Behind its childish art there's an incredibly hard game, waiting for someone who is willing to take the challenge. If you're ready for a quite difficult platform/puzzle experience, go ahead.
