![]() ![]() This game still remains bonkers, even with a bunch of grown men explaining how things work. The devs did put together a video explainer for DokeV's trailer, which offered some new details on the structure of the game and how you go about capturing these monsters, but thankfully it doesn't dispel the magic of it all. While DokeV does seem a lot like Pokémon on the surface, the whole dodge-rolling away from monsters, then crunching them with a hammer couldn't be more Monster Hunter-meets-CBeebies. Thankfully the "Dokebi" creatures you'll collect in DokeV's world aren't quite as frightening, including things like a pangolin weilding a pineapple on a stick, and against all odds the Dokebi aspect makes the most sense out of everything shown off. It makes me distinctly uncomfortable, but hopefully it's not actually weird or dubious once properly explained. ![]() Just to add to the confusion, there's this bit in the DokeV trailer where a literal child casts this spell and suddenly they're a sexy K-pop star in knee-high boots. These kids remind me a lot of either garden gnomes, or those troll dolls from the 90s, but freed from their plastic prisons and given life. Clearly a bit of the pearl abyss has seeped into their eyes, because I firmly believe that if you look one dead in the face you will be cursed. The name Pearl Abyss conjures images of swirling black and oblivion, which I believe contrasts beautifully with DokeV's festival of confetti and magical space hoppers and anthropomorphic fighting animals.īut let me tell you, Imogen's right, DokeV's kid protagonists are proper creepy. what do you actually do in DokeV? It's being made by a studio called Pearl Abyss, the folks responsible for MMORPG Black Desert. Is it a kind of Pokémon clone? Monster Hunter? But also you cast spells? What. ![]()
