DokeV developers explain their wild open world creature-collectorPlay it with your kids
Play it with your kids
Imagine a spectrum of videogame trailers, with “meaninglessly vague cinematic trailer” at one end and “explicit and lengthy gameplay footage” at the other.DokeVsits firmly in the latter category, but it’s proven no less baffling as someone trying to get a handle on what the game is about.
Watch on YouTube
The video first explains what we already: Dokebi are creatures from Korean folklore, somewhat similar to Japanese yokai. As the player in DokeV, you’re collecting the Dokebi and working with them in combat.
There’s a lot more explanation about the structure of the game than is apparent from just watching the footage, though. For one, the Dokebi are captured via specific quests scattered around its open world, rather than simply being found in the tall grass. The game is also being designed with accessibility in mind: the developers talk about wanting to be able to play the game with their own kids.
Finally, they talk about the different kinds of traversal in the game. The trailer shows miniature cars, rocket-powered skateboards, mountable llamas, sky grappling, jet skis, and umbrella gliding. I want to do all of it.
