Dokuro

Dokuro is a skeletal underdog trying to save a princess from a Dark Lord's castle, armed with a sword and a willingness to solve room-by-room puzzles. The art style is genuinely appealing, chalk-drawn characters and environments give it a storybook vibe that still holds up. Puzzles lean on physics-based switches and timing challenges rather than combat, which works when the game respects your inputs. The problem: controls feel loose and imprecise for a game demanding exact platforming. A jump that should clear a gap will drift sideways; a puzzle solution that should work stops working because Dokuro is standing three pixels too far left. It's not broken, but it's finicky enough to turn clever moments into frustrating ones. If you're patient with wonky mechanics and patient with old Vita ports in general, there's a compact, charming game here. Just don't expect precision. It's worth an hour if indie puzzle-platformers are your thing and you can tolerate jank.
