Play Dokapon! - Millennium Quest (Japan) Online

Dokapon! looks like a sweet little RPG until your friends rob you blind or some absurd event wipes out your progress—it’s a board game where betrayal’s the real boss. The menus are in Japanese, but you’ll get the hang of it fast between the pixel charm and sudden, glorious disasters.

Game Overview

Dokapon! - Millennium Quest is that one Game Boy Color game where you think you're playing a cute RPG, but really, it's a backstabbing board game in disguise. You roll, move, fight monsters—standard stuff—until suddenly your buddy steals your gold or the AI screws you over with some ridiculous random event. It's got that chaotic energy where one turn you're winning, and the next, you're broke and cursing at your tiny screen.

The Japan-only release means some menus are a headache if you don't read Japanese, but the gameplay's so intuitive you'll figure it out fast. The pixel art pops on the GBC, and the music's weirdly catchy for something this silly. Just don't play it with anyone you're not okay with mildly resenting afterward.
