 Innovative game that is fun with friends December 3, 2008
Pros:
+Innovative gameplay (you move around a board and game levels, basically a cross between board games and RPG)
+Enjoyable for gamers and non-gamers (I have non-gamer friends that can't wait to come over again to play this game)
+Enjoyable class/party leveling system
+Easy for players in last to catch up by becoming evil for a few turns
+Events in game are enjoyable and fun (like having to fight in a Coliseum and be the last one to survive)
+Story mode can be played with you and three other friends
+Options allow starting characters at higher levels, changing game mode, and allow saving of game
+Random in most aspects (I've redone turns before and have different outcomes)
Cons:
-Graphics are fairly basic most of the time
-Hard to find the game to buy in Stores
-Some enemies will always counter when you try to strike them (which usually ends up killing you, although you resurrect after a few turns)
-Turns are taken sequentially (I would prefer simultaneous turn option)
-Computer players are not that random (I recommend never playing with a computer player)
-No Online GamePlay
Awesome Multiplayer Game! December 2, 2008
My friends and I play this game constantly. It is very addicting. We all battled to see who would be King of Dokapon. The game also has a lot of variety. There are different ways you can play the game, with the many different classes. I would recommend this game to people who want to play with a group.
If your looking for fun... November 22, 2008
... this is the game for you.
I have friends and family calling and wanting to come over in the weekend to play this game, it's great.
It's biggest down side is it's sucks when you lose but you keep coming back. (btw this game is hard to find anywere!!, so get it while you can!)

This is my first review so bear with me...
Objective
I have been playing this game for several weeks now and I find it incredibly fun. You start off playing the game by choosing your gender then choosing one of the three starting job classes; warrior, thief, or mage. Then you begin to progress through the story line, fighting monsters and players, rescuing towns, and performing random tasks for the king. The whole point of the game is to have the highest net worth by the end of it, which is a combination of the amount of towns you control, you end amount of pocket change, and how much the king gives you for giving him gifts. It's a fairly simple idea for a party game, and it is very similar to Mario Party's collection of stars in order to determine a winner. At the end of a week, seven rounds of turns, it gives a summary of who is winning, so there is no guess work to see how you are standing up to the competition.
Game play
The biggest part of this game is the fighting. You can fight monster, bosses and even players if you land on their space. The fights are tremendously fun and are simple of enough to pick up immediately yet have enough depth in order to not become boring as the game progresses. This game also displays both characters stats right next to each other so complete disclosure is possible. This helps the player to try and predict their opponent's reaction, as well as to find their greatest weakness.
Audio/Visual
Nothing spectacular, all of it pretty forgettable. The models aren't the greatest; the sound is tolerable but definitely not inspiring. For me, the thing that sold me was the game play, a combination of rpg/party action.
To sum it all up, this game is really fun if you like rpgs and party games. Another person who reviewed this game complained that nothing was random and that it was all mapped out. However, unless you are trying to cheat by restarting enough times so that you can get your intended result, then this fact will have bearing on you whatsoever. The only other thing that I should mention is that this game is better played with other people (I think that this is true with most games :-)). There is no deep story line to speak of and the computer can be hard, but when you beat you friend in a fight and take all their money, it can be very satisfying.
 Absolutely terrible November 5, 2008

Whatever else the game is, the simple fact that all you really do is choose where to move completely destroys it.
By that I mean, if you save a game, play through the board then reload the previous save you were at and play the board again, you will get the EXACT same die results, the EXACT same "random" treasure results, the EXACT SAME monsters and the monsters themselevs will use the same moves. Why bother, then, to make the player push a button to spin the movement spinners or stop the treasure roulette? Why bother to have save points? You have to START A NEW GAME everytime you lose a board otherwise the results will be exactly the same.
A complete joke.
