Don Doko Don I is an action game released in 1990 for the Nintendo NES. The player controls a pair of dwarves tasked with clearing levels by knocking out enemies using a hammer. The main objective revolves around defeating all foes in each stage to progress to the next, emphasizing straightforward combat and platform navigation.
The game's pace is steady, blending elements of timing and strategy as players must carefully approach enemies to deliver hammer strikes. A unique mechanic involves the ability to pick up and throw enemies, adding a layer of tactical depth to encounters. This mechanic encourages players to think about positioning and enemy management rather than just direct attacks.
An unusual idea within Don Doko Don I is the cooperative multiplayer mode, allowing two players to work together through the levels, which was less common for action titles on the NES. The distinctive art style and catchy soundtrack contribute to the game's charm, making it a recognizable entry in early 90s action games.
