This isn't my favorite game, but it's deffinatley top 20.

It's a cute game to play with younger family members (or to let them play alone).

It's sort of like a Turn-Based RPG (similar to Heroes of Might & Magic etc.) where each player takes turns moving. You can also equip items along the way which will help protect your character and also do more damage, etc. It lets you choose from 3 different classes (jobs) which offer different levels of fun, although the Thief class is my favorite since you steal items from other players as you pass them on the board.

The game allows for some really fun PvP combat in which you have the options of taking things from the loser, renaming their character (LOL can be funny!), or even changing their appearance!

The only draw back I would say is that there are certain instances where you have to land on a specific location in order to actually use it (entrance to a cave, etc.), which can be very annoying.

I would say more but playing the game and finding out all of the hidden extras is 1/2 the fun!

Definitely worth renting, and buying if you want to learn RPG games (simple interface) or have young ones that like playing board games (very similar to Mario Party 8, Pac-Man Party, etc.).

The game is not fun... I could not play for more than 5 mins. Unless you have absolutely no other games to buy/rent out there--- wait, even then I wouldn't get this game. I can't describe what a waste of time it was to use a rental on this game. I just can't even begin to describe how bad this game is...

Dokapon Kingdom is a party game combining classic rpg elements with a board game element. You jump right in and start playing. And then the 'fun' starts. I tried to start as a magician, but I got my butt kicked everytime I fought a monster. You have to buy the ablities, so a magician is absolutely useless as a starting job. When I started as a thief, I was able to get past the basics, but then discovered you can win any battle if you choose 'strike' on your attack turn. It can be countered with 'counter' but enemies rarely use it. I still forged on, and then my rage reached its apex; one of the cpu went onto a Dark Space. In one swoop he stole my castles, my items and all my towns, and when I went to the Dark Space, it wouldn't let me use it! And you have to spin the exact number to land on a certain space, so you're circling the board for weeks (game time, not real time) just to get somewhere. So in short, lousy battle system, lousy move system, just plain lousy game.
