Dogurai

Short Review: Dogurai is an amazing game, featuring really good action and gameplay, distinct and interesting levels and bosses, and is overall super worth your time. It's easily one of the best games I've played this year, and I'm NOT saying this lightly. Long Review: First and foremost, I am NOT a fan of "retro" stuff. That being said, Dogurai is much, much more than simply a "retro" game - it's a work made with love, a really fun game and a cool experience. -Gameplay: Dogurai's gameplay is simple, yet delivers everything it needs to - fast paced combat, with a good variety of enemy and interesting bosses with different patterns. Everything feels unique, and nothing is out of place. Most common enemies are there just as a minor roadblock or distraction, but bosses are just hard enough where it feels great to both learn and beat them. -Level Design: Featuring 8 different levels, Dogurai has no shortage of interesting levels, scenarios and platforms. Ranging from more platform, t...

[b] Dogurai [/b] is a faithful retro platformer that seems to take inspiration from classics like [i] Mega Man [/i] and [i]Ninja Gaiden[/i]. The first stage is preset, but you will be able to choose the order for some of the levels, each ending with the boss fight. On normal difficulty, you get infinite lives so it probably won't take longer than 3 hours to finish, although the harder mode would be a lot more challenging due to constant death pits. I would say that Dogurai is above average when compared to similar retro-themed platformers. The movement is relatively basic - you can double jump, slide, and occasionally juggle heavy enemies with quick-time events. I never felt like the game was unfair or too frustrating because the controls and platforming are very tight. Compared to something like [i] Tayal [/i], it's not nearly as hard. It has a decent variety of levels, including a motorcycle ride and a classic lava chase. Most of the bosses were fun, although I would argue that they ...

Dogurai has gay dogs in it, so instant buy The game itself it very nostalgic to the old gameboy games I would play on long car drives growing to distract myself from talking to my family. The gameplay feels true to that era and there are some fun bosses and secrets to find along the way Support gay dogs in videogames

Genre: -Retro Action Platformer inspired by Mega Man type games Fit for me: -I've been playing a lot of these throwbacks recently, so good fit Pros: -I like that every level has a different color palette and distinct theme, and it matches the Gameboy inspiration -Super cheap, unde 5$ and good amount of content for price -Soundtrack and sound effects are good -Bosses were well designed and could be completed once you learned the movement and attack patterns Cons: -No remapping of the dash button, and it's attached to a Down + Jump combo. This never feels comfortable to me, and I have hard time dashing and running forward at the same time. I end up standing still for a second before and after dashing which defeats the purpose in most situations. -A lot of instadeath environmental hazards such as spikes, lava, conveyor belt crushing you, falling off the map, etc. -Enemies quickly fly in the air from off the screen while you are trying to jump from platforms and the floor is falling ...

Dogurai is a game that pays homage to the Megaman series of old, and it shows. Not only due to its graphics, but for being hella fun to play! I'll break down my opinion on each of the game's aspects. Gameplay is on point. Very simple control scheme: Run, attack, jump, double jump and a dash move. That's what you need for a dog samurai game and that's perfect. Use your sword to slice enemies, weaken those that have stronger armor and CUT BULLETS MID-AIR! Be the dog ninja you always wanted to be! The graphics for this game are simply AMAZING! Very very colorful and with much detail and life, even with the small amount of bits it has. Each level feels different, and the color palette changing for each level felt pretty nice, making room for some pretty gorgeous scenery. I'd say the Desert Level and the last linear levels have my favorite graphics and design of them all. If wanted, you can change the color palette yourself and set it fixed to one of many available colors, instead of havi...

Thank you for making this game, very nostalgic for those of us who played platform games in the 80s-90s. There are many options for retro platformers out there, but this is a fresh aproach which I am enjoying very much so far. Besides minor bug issues, there is nothing else to be said other than "you should try this game". This one just feels right. Challenging game with excellent controls, replayability, interesting enemies. 100% recommend.

Great platformer! Fair difficulty / perfect for platformer junkies like myself.

I played a really early access build and was already expecting a lot of this game. I was surprised with a lot of smart changes and awesome level design. Re-playability was something that I was not expecting, really nice surprise! Really fun bosses, smart enemy placements, beautiful pixel art, nice difficulty, nice touch for hidden stuff, replayable, delivers the retro feeling and still tries to do something new with creative thinking... That is all I can say without spoilers. Totally recommend it for people in search of a great retro platformer.

A charming gem with the care and craft of a passion project. Certainly worth your time and money.
