Yet another stellar title coming to the Vita. This looks right up my street! And no, if you are not British, that isn't a metaphor for something unsavoury

It is a stellar title... I absolutely love this game. And this is me coming off Rayman Origins.

What I love most about Dokuro is that its puzzles dont fall into the modern, you make a mistake and can easily fix variety. There are times when you can completely mess up the puzzle and need to restart the level (but each level can be done relatively quickly if you know how so its not a problem).

Loving every moment of it.. even teh story is cute.

I didn't even know it was out yet. Would that be a PC version or a PSN version?

Edit: Thanks!

Japanese retail/PSN version

sinncross4240d ago

Its out in Japan as a physical release (PSN too I guess)

"It was originally suggested that the protagonist be a handsome knight, but something about the little skeleton minion struck a chord with the designers and they decided it would make for a much more interesting story to have the Dark Lord’s own peon save the day. Dokuro may not be the hero the Princess expected, but he’s the only one she has..."

Day one. Love the fact they went with the less conventional hero.

I just ordered this game from Play-Asia a couple weeks ago. Oh well, I prefer to have a physical copy anyway. I can't wait to play it. Check out this review: http://fyfyi.com/2012/07/28...

As far as I know this is a great game. Hope it's coming to EU PS Stores too.

Love the idea behind the hero. It's secretly a love story that most people have experienced. The love angle isn't as pronounced as Braid, but still in league with it. Day One purchase.

You can try the demo on the japanese PSN store if you are able to do so. It is entirely in english so the language barrier will not be a problem.

Fun little game with an interesting game mechanic & adorable visuals for a dark skeleton dude.

It's a lonely but fun place - Top 10 PlayStation Games Stranded on Vita Island

"When PlayStation Vita released in 2012, expectations were high as Sony's previous handheld (PSP) was quite successful even if it could never quite match with Nintendo's handheld juggernauts." - Tyler Hall from Video Chums

Soul Sacrifice seriously needs another entry.

I would have added Killzone Mercenaries to the list. Overall, good list.

Lexreborn22018d ago

It’s not stranded until 2019, if people really wanted to get some great experiences out the way then they’d buy it. But there are so many stubborn people that made their mind up that won’t happen.

You can go on eBay, OfferUp it any social market place and get one from 70-120 WITH memory card and the games are dirt cheap. But I bet people feel like buying their 5th 3DS for 200 plus because of its color is better then checking out great games.

I guess it’s not always about the games

execution172018d ago

I could just never find one after I got a stable income, could find games all over the place though

rainslacker2018d ago (Edited 2018d ago )

Quite a few of the games aren't dirt cheap. Guess it depends on what you like though. The Japanese anime games tend to hold their value quite well.

One can get digital games pretty cheap a lot of the time, and if they were smart, they'd have added all those vita games on PS+ over the years, and have quite an impressive backlog when they get their system.
