Arc System Works is renowned for its BlazBlue and Guilty Gear fighting games. But on the Japanese 3DS eShop, the company released something completely different: Korokesu.
Korokesu is an action-puzzle game with dice-rolling elements. Here’s everything we know about it:
– Push, pull, and spin the dice around
– Need to delete the dice by getting similar faces on the dice to touch each other
– Two modes: Trial and Puzzle
– Trial: get the highest possible score by deleting the surrounding dice in the span of 3 minutes
– Get a higher score by chaining them together for combos
– When you delete dice, it takes a short while for them to completely disappear
– If you can manage to get another dice to fit in before they disappear, it activates the chain effect
– This deletes more dice and increases your score
– Puzzle: stages and dice positions are already set and your goal is to delete them
– 50 different stages included in Puzzle mode
– Game has a high score board and achievements that can be acquired by meeting certain conditions in the game
– Unconventional story
– Takes place in a galaxy far away
– The people of the planet Saikorogashi (Saikoro is dice, Korogashi is roll in Japanese) spent their days happily rolling dice
– One day, they decided to hold a contest to see who the best dice roller on the planet is
– Prince decided to participate as well
– Prince’s expression makes it hard to know what he’s thinking about, but he seems to be more excited than usual regarding the upcoming tournament
– King shows intense feelings and secret supports the anxious prince
– 500 yen
