Dokuro is the latest game to have received a surprise release on Switch. It’s currently live in Australia, and should be out in other regions by tomorrow at the latest.

Dokuro, which had not been previously announced for Switch, is a “chalk-art puzzler” in which players need to save a princess from the Dark Lord who wants to marry her. Though it came out on other platforms previously, the Switch version has added difficulty selection and “Developers Documentation”.

Here’s an overview for Dokuro on Switch and a trailer from the previous release:

Arise, lowly skeleton, and rescue the Princess from the Dark Lord’s castle! Developers Documentation and difficulty selection has been added!

You are a nameless skeleton in the Dark Lord’s army. The Princess was abducted to become the dreaded Dark Lord’s wife, after a chance encounter, you set her free. Guide the Princess from the shadows in Skeleton Form, switching to Hero Form when it’s time to mount a gallant offense!

The Game

Aid the Princess in her flight from the Dark Lord’s castle, guarding her from traps and enemies as you strike and artful balance between both Skeleton and Hero Forms – each boasting a palette of unique abilities and traits. Can you safely guide your royal counterpart to the flower at the end of each area? Succeed, and the fairytale will further unfold!

Immersive gameplay and whimsical storytelling come together in a resplendent production you can pick up and play – as well as save and stop – anytime you please!

Equal parts action and puzzle, a new kind of fairytale awaits you! Playing in handheld mode is recommended as touch controls are better suited for some parts of the game.

Nintendo Switch Version

The Nintendo Switch version comes with new features: difficulty selection and Developers Documentation.

Afraid of the unforgiving difficulty of the original game? On Nintendo Switch you get to play the re-balanced Normal mode first! Once you clear the game on Normal, step up the challenge and try the Original mode.

The Developers Documentation includes various game art and other materials produced at the design stage. Check out the enemies and other elements which unfortunately never made it into the game!
