Nintendo Life writes: "What many expected to be a rip-off of the Mario Party franchise has actually turned out to be a very fresh and strategic party game. It is a shame that this release will most likely be met with public indifference and poor sales, but at the end of the day it remains one of the best role-playing games on Wii - despite not actually being one! For those anxiously awaiting epic entries in other blockbuster franchises, Dokapon Kingdom may just be able to fill a gap and satisfy your appetite". 8/10
