Imagine playing Dokapon over the course of a few months, hacking away with friends for an hour or two a week. Since you can save any time, you can sit down with friends, game it up for an hour or so with your characters, and then wait until next time to jump back into that story mode.

Oh, and while we're talking time, the game can be saved at any time, it can be played in its campaign mode with up to four players (or by yourself, with three computer characters), and it apparently goes for a long, long time, but is full of different quests, story elements, and strategy. Hell yes he did! But God help us if someone has a rock. Generally speaking though, it's a one-shot deal during the opening hours of the game. Most battles can be taken care of in one attack/defend turn, but should it go longer, your turn will end, and your fight will pick up once the other three players finished their moves. Fight depend on what region of the world you're in, so if you wander too far out from the beginning, you'll be swarmed with overpowered critters to fight. You've got regular spaces to land on, which will either give you an item, some cash, or start you in a random battle with a monster. There's more diversity in the game to go through in a short hands-on, but we'll touch on most of the basics, and a few of the oddball moments that make Dokapon great. Where it takes you, however, will determine how the game truly carries out. Every turn you'll use items or manage spells, spin a six-numbered dial, and travel anywhere that spinner allows you to with the exact number displayed. You'll begin with a player, select a class for him, and set out into the world with an overall quest (the king deals them out one at a time in the game's campaign mode, or you can play a simple party mode where there's one overall objective).

Since there's no mini-games included, players in Dokapon Kingdom will have to learn the ways of oh-so-many classic RPG designs before it. Instead, this is less about luck, random challenges, and Mario Party-like mini-games, and more about strategy, leveling up, and economy management. Since the game is all about getting the RPG experience (and ruining friendships) you won't have mini-games to determine who takes the upper hand on a turn-by-turn basis. The game carries out in a similar fashion to something like Mario Party, as you'll have one main game board in the game - it's huge though - and are in a race to complete objectives before your three competitors can. Like MLB Power Pros, however, this is one game that makes up for its Wii-ness for good old fashioned core gameplay.

With only 480p and 16:9 support to make the Wii version the lead SKU (still, we're very thankful for those additions), some Nintendo fans may be put off by this one right away.

Dokapon Kingdom doesn't have IR support, it doesn't support waggle, and it's nearly identical to the soon-to-be-released PS2 game, shipping in mid-October right along the Wii version. It's an odd one to wrap your head around, but there's no denying it has legs. And as a party game, Dokapon Kingdom cleans up, already delivering more depth, strategy, and versatility than most any party title we've ever played. Instead, Atlus is doing what it does best, and is delivering a unique RPG experience it just so happens this one takes the role of a party game. We'll draw the line right now with Dokapon Kingdom, before we even get into why we had so much fun playing it in our recent hands-on.

We have faith in Atlus - especially when it comes to the obscure - but it looked like just another random party title, now with Chibi characters and some kind of RPG mash-up design. So when we saw Dokapon Kingdom for the first time, you can understand why our reaction was less than enthusiastic. It seem like for all the hype behind party titles and mini-game compilations, there really aren't too many worth the disc they're printed on. Even Nintendo's own Mario Party 8, which totally boasts better gameplay than the seven previous titles (I mean, c'mon, there's new mini-games, right?) was a tremendous letdown.

Don't get us wrong - we're not asking for Game Party 2, or Carnival Games, unless they can seriously up their value - but when it comes to truly well-made offerings in this department, developers are coming up short. For being considered such a mini-game/party machine, Wii is really missing a strong core lineup of those type of games.
