Hakokoro may have eluded you unless you’re well-versed in 2010s Japanese DSiWare. On April 4, Hakokoro V will be available on the Japanese Switch eShop to follow this box-based puzzler.
This puzzle game by AMZY requires you to roll a square block around an enemy-filled arena, collect magic orbs through the cube’s open face, and defeat your enemies. The above trailer shows a simple but appealing concept.
The story is that you are an apprentice magician who must climb the mage’s tower and accomplish its trials to become the best like no one else (but not that one). Not the most fascinating plot, but cool puzzles!
Here are some eShop screenshots and the game’s official summary, which Gematsu translated:
