Dokapon Kingdom: Connect

Money, spite, and petty sabotage drive this unruly blend of tabletop racing and light RPG adventuring. Dokapon Kingdom: Connect sends up to four would-be heroes across a monster-ridden kingdom where the royal reward goes not to the bravest savior, but to whoever amasses the most wealth. Towns need liberating, monsters guard valuable routes, and every victory feeds directly into a competition for the throne and the princess’s hand. Its bright, cartoonish presentation masks a famously cutthroat party game in which friendships can collapse over a stolen item or one perfectly timed insult.

Each turn begins with a roulette spin that determines movement across a sprawling board of towns, dungeons, shops, and dangerous encounters. Landing on enemies triggers simple but tense RPG battles, where players choose attacks, magic, defensive responses, and dirty tricks while trying to predict an opponent’s move. Winning fights earns experience, equipment, money, and control of towns, while character progression opens access to 11 job classes, including physical fighters and spell-focused specialists. Items can be bought, found, or stolen, and the game actively encourages players to interfere with rivals through theft, curses, ambushes, and other cruelly effective tactics.

Five modes let groups tailor the chaos, from the longer Story and Normal campaigns to focused races based on shopping, kills, or town ownership. Online multiplayer is the major draw of this updated release, making it far easier to continue grudges with distant friends, while local sessions retain the best couch-party energy. The seven-continent map, shifting jobs, random events, and player-driven betrayals give matches a strong replayable edge even when the underlying board-game loop stays straightforward. Fans of Fortune Street, Mario Party, or spiteful multiplayer RPGs will find plenty to love, though newcomers should arrive ready to laugh at bad luck and accept that mercy is rarely rewarded.
