DOKAPON! Sword of Fury blends board game mechanics with RPG and party game elements. Players spin a wheel to move across a vast map, battling monsters, buying equipment, and leveling up characters — all while trying to become the wealthiest player in the game world.
The remaster includes several modern upgrades:
HD and widescreen display support
Online multiplayer functionality
Autosave feature for mid-game pausing
Speed options up to 5x faster gameplay
Customizable settings including battle music from older titles
Adjustable game balance and week count
Developed and published by Sting, the game is known for encouraging underhanded tactics like betrayal, theft, and sabotage. Its competitive, unpredictable gameplay has long appealed to players who enjoy strategic chaos and party-style antics with an RPG twist.
