GOKEN seeks to bring back everything that was right about gaming in an action packed open world environment in the form of the good old Action RPG genre and have the old school gamers tremble in nostalgia.
-Scenario-
Long ago, when gods lived amongst people...
There lived a swordsman who was given five swords forged by god himself.
Using these swords, the swordsman brought peace and order to the world.
People called the swordsman, "Wielder of the Five Swords"...
One day, during a fete to praise the gods, the blades of the swordsman turn against the gods for reasons unknown.
One of the gods, Ozone, furious with all his powers, sealed the swordsman away at the top of a mountain now known as Swords Peak.
This tale begins 5,000 years after the battle between the two, near a the small village of Cardina.
-Game Overview-
Seamless open-world game mechanics
While the game features a rather old school “quarter view” mechanic, the map transitions and event scenes, even the combat is all seamless as can be to enhance the overall gaming experience.Real time strategic action battle system
Utilizing 2 primary attack buttons, users can assign different weapons to each button to create a unique combo that fits the users need as they go. Monsters, bosses and stage gimmicks can require a specific type of weapon at times creating opportunities for users to strategize their best route of approach.Customizable Tattoo system
Utilizing "tattoos", users are given specific points upon leveling to get the protagonist inked as a form of powering up so it could be built to one’s own. Raising MAX HP and Stamina, learning new and special moves are just a few of many ways players are able to customize their character depending on their play style.Поддерживаемые языки: english, japanese

I have a lot of small nitpicks about Goken that by themselves would be forgivable but together just made me too annoyed. Combine them with the fact that I wasn’t a huge fan of the sprint based combat and it wasn’t a fun time for me. For starters I find the map system next to useless. The map indicates general areas and some point of interests but you can’t use it to track quests. On top of that your quest log doesn’t track main quests only select side quests. You better write down any dialogue hints as to what to do or where to go because there won’t be much else to help you. You can’t access the map from a game pad either. Back in 2017 the developer indicated they wanted to get these features implemented but at the time of writing this about five years later and none of these have happened. As for the sprint based combat it is simply a matter of subjective taste. I understood what the developer was going for and for the most part I could make it work but the more I played the more annoyed I got. I liked the graphics and music. I was mixed on the story as I didn’t really like the main character, playing an annoying loud mouth isn’t something I enjoy. I liked the lore and side characters though. I liked the tattoo system but felt the level system lacking. I could gain levels fairly quickly but never really felt like I was getting that much stronger.
I played Goken on Linux. Alt-Tab didn’t work. There are no graphics options at all aside from resolution. You can manually save the game outside of when your in a boss fight and there are three save slots. You can’t load a save from within the game though and will have to exit to the main menu or die to do so. The game suffers from little stutters that happen often enough for it to be a problem. When they occur the frame rate doesn’t drop. As above these have been an ongoing issue that remain unsolved for the last five years. My system wasn’t being taxed very much and I wouldn’t say the graphical detail warrants anything other than a smooth experience. It froze on me one time as well. The game is locked to 60 FPS regardless of your monitor.

Goken has a nice concept and some nice parts to it but overall I have to recommend avoiding it. I didn’t finish it but played for six hours and twenty minutes which was enough to get four of the five swords. I paid $5.77 CAD for it and can’t recommend it even at that discount.

Review from after pretty much beating the whole game...
Well, it promisses a old-school like RPG. And does it deliver it? Yes.
The combat is well-made, the graphics are good and there's little FPS drop here and there. Simple stuff, no voice acting, cutscenes as the same of old RPGs... overall it's a good game, if you can overlook things as griding for levels and materials now and then, some materials not being used, a few annoying and unbalanced mobs (for both sides of the balance), a good but sometimes repetitive soundtrack (which comes as a free dlc, that's neat), and monster assets that could be a bit more varied. Ironically those complaints also fit some good old RPGs.
The stats system mostly covers the lack of equipments aside the swords, but doesn't add skills or anything to vary much the mechanic of the gameplay besides combos and evasion, which makes it simple yet a bit shallow.
If you want to play it, go ahead, but just be aware of these issues, and that it's a fairly simple gameplay if you're already used to RPGs (not that it's bad, just how it was made). However I don't really suggest it being good enough to pay the full price.
Ah Yes!! Love the old classsic, i prefer this kind of kinda simple action rpg which have less time to play as we are getting older & alot of thing need to do in life, this game is really a savior. Its help me stay calm & enjoy the lockdown of convic-19 apart from working from home. Took me 3 days to finish it with all achievement & without using any sort of walktrough, the only 1 thing that i look for hint is the beggar u need to donate certain amount.....
THis game is like YS, alundra, zelda, brave fencer musashi accept it doesn't have jump capability but this GAME IS GREAT.
Humor wise its not that impressive compare to like brave fencer but the game play is just awesome.
Thank You developer for this GAME. U should start something like brave fencer musashi since for som time there has not any game that preceed it in terms of game play & humor... the fundemental is already there i think.
Pros:
1. Dont take ages to play, a little bit of grinding fo equip,lvl & money but still achievable without wasting month & life.
2. Great graphic the texture remind me kinda like wildarms (not the battle part) but with more actual movement
3. Great soundtrack ( any soundtrack that loops in ur head is great)
4. Full controller support PS4 controller babe, me loving it!!
Cons:
1. Not able to fully use ink on all slot........there a limitation.
2. Less info or hint on certain hidden quest.
3. Only 2 dragon crystal available? so can only max out 2 weapon.......
4. Collected elemental soul stone but seem like there are no use for it accept for achievement?.......seriously.....
5. No jumping?.......the fkin dragon keep flying & I cannot hit it & need to run around in circle.......!@#$%^&*(
That all for now nonetheless it is still a GREAT GAME!!
Not worth getting it IMHO.
- The movement are not smooth. (Especially during attack + dash)
- The bosses attack are homing, no matter where you dash away it will auto follow you, unless you dash at the right timing you can dodge it. And their attack have no cool down they just spam non stop, but they die fast tho.
- The whole game only has 4 quest, and you really need to read their dialogue because they don't give hint on the map where to go next. ( Wasted lots of time walking around the whole map to trigger cutscene. )
- Most of their monster are duplicates while just changing their element and color looks.
- Out of the 5 weapons, the most imba weapon could only be the 2handed greatsword, while the rest are totally useless and could only use for unlocking achievement. ( Due to the fact that this game only needs to do is hit and run method. )
- Lastly you are required to manually save at any point of time, if you died somehow most likely it will restart at your last saved.
The good:
- Addictive adventure
- Tattoo System
- Really beautiful graphic, seriously, i love it very much..
- Wide area
- The discount at price
The bad:
- Kinda repetitive
- Uhm, very little sidequest?
Overall, i enjoyed it and if you are in action rpg like bastion, give this a try..
So right out of the gate, there are some problems with Goken.
1) As others mentioned, spelling & grammar is not at it's strongest here. If you are bothered by that, move on. I have seen worse, by far. In Goken's defense, It's not hard to figure out what's being said. This issue doesn't get in the way at all, but it might irritate sticklers.
2) There is a problem with visual stutter as the camera pans across the map. Basically anytime you move the character the screen stutters. Apparently this is an issue that has to do with higher end machines. Check the pinned section of the forums. Although I still had the problem. The solution there did at least make it bearable.
3) ***NOTE TO THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO PLAY GOKEN*** It does not appear to be possible to max all 5 of your weapons. At best you can max out 2/5. Keep this in mind when you're trying to decide which ones to max out(Lvl 4). I was not aware of this & accidentally maxed a weapon I barely ever used.
With all of those problems out of the way. I actually enjoyed Goken. There's an interesting story, pretty good combat elements, beautiful world & some pretty sweet audio tracks. This isn't the greatest game out there, but Goken held my interest & that's hard to do.
Very hack n slash rpg with a little bit of kickass feeling and lot of humor.
Story is simple, a bit clichue and main protagonist has the biggest IDGAF attitude I have even seen in these sort of games.
Combat is pretty simplistic, beggining with only three hit sword combo, that slowly gives variety as hero finds more and more weapon (5 at total).
RPG element is in form of weapon upgrades and passive skill boost that are given through tattoes, with a small possibility to create various "builds" (defence, health, stamina, attack).
Game gets a bit grindy especially if you want all possible upgrades, contains secret terasures and even secret (and hard) boss.
My playtime was 14 hours, with about two to three hours of pursposeful grind to get some xp, gold and mats I wanted.
Replay value is not great, little motivation since you know the story and you can carry one after the story ends if you wish for some more grind/upgrades, there is arena where you can try to beat highest enemy waves but I can imagine this gets boring eventually.
It is not a briliant title, would deserve a bit of polish, especially in inventory management, tattoo management, info how much xp your weapon have (has to be capped before upgrade) and absenece of mats blacksmith asks to in any form of diary can be a pain.
But despite last para, I can recommend this, was 14 hours of fun to me.
I want to like this game so badly. The graphics are beautiful. It's an isometric open world. It's an action RPG. It's basically a Secret of Mana lovers wet dream.
However... the story is horrible and the translation is just bad. I couldn't get drawn into this game because it felt like there was no reason for the main character to really be there. The NPC's are lifeless and boring. And frankly the world itself felt lifeless.
I want to see more of these games but they can't really exist unless theres actually a good story. And if it's a foreign developed game (not made in North America) then you need better translators.
Also... coop would help too.
Combat feels very clunky, and the text is a typo-riddled mess. Enemy attacks are hard to actually see (in that the animations are lackluster) and there's a strange sort of input lag that's difficult to quantify until you try it. The art and music are great, though, as mentioned in other reviews,
This game was just a disappointment. The only thing it has going for it is that it's kind of pretty look at. The stamina system needs to go away and the combat needs to be WAY more fluid for this game to be any bit of fun. The combat is very clunky so if you're expecting a 3D action JPRG, you're looking in the wrong place. I would not recommend anyone buy this game until something at least with the combat system changes.
Constantly fun throughout the 15 hours it took to complete everything. Combat is enjoyable throughout and the art style and music are a real treat.
GOKEN was a very fun game for me, your generic RPG. Kill, level, upgrade weapons, explore map, do quests, main story, bosses, healing poitions or any other potions, multiple weapons. If you like games like these, you should try this game out. Beware this is a short game, you can finish this within 7 hours if you just rush and go through the storyline quickly but if you play at a normal pace you should be able to finish this within 10 hours.
Pretty simple and fun game with the nice graphics. And I am very like it. Special thanks for the Linux version!
just finished the game and let me say this game is very SHORT!
the story isn't great. 3/10
gameplay fight mechanics of the game feels like it was made in the 90s. 3/10
the stages do differ but the monsters are just the same with different colors. 5/10
to be honest I have no idea why it was given many great reviews.
the only good part about the game is its art. it's beautiful. other than that it is not a game to waste money on.
and this game is definitely NOT like Bastion !!! no idea why people were saying this!
– 25 hours worth of content
– No loading screens (except when entering indoors: shops, caves etc)
– If you like the combat system at first impression, you'll like rest of the game
There is no button for block, instead there is a stamina system with dodge.
[quote]Update: 35 hours to complete everything (find all secrets etc)[/quote]
GOKEN
GOKEN has just come out of EA & is a 2D style RPG hack & slash, action adventure game. The game is very pretty, I was rather impressed with this games art style, " this is not some cheap RPG maker game". I found the Art style quite unique & very pretty at times. I really enjoyed every moment I was playing this game, & it was hard for me to stop playing.
REMEMBER to manually SAVE the game ALOT, as game does NOT auto save, its easy enough to find via start button/pausing, you will see all the features, like map, weapons you can equipt, once you do aquire them. Its easy enough to work out.
The main character you play is a Male called Edge, but you can rename him if you like. Edge is a mean spirited kind Of character & wants to get his 5 swords back that where taken from him before he was placed into a very long sleep by the gods. Be aware that there are some dialogs you may read that might shock you, or not!, I myself found them all rather funny. I have never played and RPG game before that would make me laugh at times like this game did. Some people may not like the dialogs used, but they never bothered me, laughter is very good for us all, & I enjoyed them all.
The game has 2 very large maps, which you can access via pause menu & since it is now fully released it has had numerous updates with more content added including more steam achievements & Trading Cards added as well. Time for me to to play some more, since now it has side quests & even tournaments added for more replayability value.
GOKEN is currantly on sale till the 9th of October at 25% off, you wont see the discount because the developers said there was an issue getting things set up in time & full pricing added, they needed 30 days notice and seems this was a last minute, full release desision, unless Im wrong?.
I have really enjoyed my time immensly with GOKEN and for me it did NOT disapoint, but I speak for myself & not for others ok. The developers are very nice and very active with regards to thier game. So any questions dont be afraid to ask them ok
Store page tells a better story than I can, just know this for me game was well worth the EA risk & Im very pleased with the final out come. ENJOY GOKEN it is a very nice RPG game in my personal opinion
Congratulations to GIANTY Inc. you made a very nice game THANK YOU Greatly :)
I got this game mostly because the dev was so nice when asked for Linux support and delivered it quite quickly.
There's still a few bugs that the devs will need to fix, but nothing too bad as I finished the whole game.
Not everything is super clear as what you need to do, but it's not a big deal, as all in all everything is actually quite easy and so you figure it out eventually.
The game is fun, has nice graphics, a nice variety of enemy, and I liked seeing stronger versions of the previous ones later on... It's not the game of the year, but I definitely enjoyed playing it!
In case devs read this, here are my thoughts (in next message, stupid characters limit...)
Just a straight up fun game. Haven't finished it yet, but have put several hours into it and I've loved every minute. Lots of nostalgic gameplay, It's something that I can pick up on a saturday after working all week and not be completely lost as to where I'm going. It's very reminiscent of legend of zelda meets secret of mana with graphics that fit the current systems, I like that they have a weapons upgrade path, though it's a little clunky to have to visit a blacksmith every time to see what items are needed to upgrade each sword.The enemies can be predictable, but that can also get you into trouble when you are feeling like you can't be hurt and then they throw you a curve ball and you have to reload from your last savegame (save often). Great to get in on early access for $14.99 and save a few bucks as they iron out the minor problems, pretty much a finished game as I see it. The only bugs I have run into are not gamebreaking either, just some menu problems which have consisted of closing a menu and reopening it to fix.
Beautiful graphics, an amazing soundtrack, and fun gameplay. On top of creating a wonderful game the developers have been very active in the community and are great to talk to. I highly recommend picking up a copy of Goken!
[EARLY ACCESS] I purchase this game so I didnt get a freebie.
[Thank you for the Linux Version this was the main reason for buying this game and my love for Y's which this game resembles]
So far the good:
1. Tight control on a SC
2 Nice Graphics and the colors they just pop all over the place.
3. The game studders a bit but not enough to distract you from the game play.
Am sure this will be tweak in the final release.
4. The humor and some of the dialogues
5. Please allow the functioanlity of re-mapping the buttons on the game pad / Steam Controller
The bad:
None this is an Early Access so this is expected suprising polished.
Coming in I was expecting this to be a fast paced ARPG along the same lines as Ys or the like, unfortunatly while this game looks great and has excellent music it's let down by a few gameplay choices that just take away from my enjoyment. Firstly is the characters movement speed which is painfully slow and so getting around at any decent pace requires you to use the dash.
Which brings me to my biggest issue, the stamina meter which will get eaten up because i want to progess at a decent speed, which means that when I run into an enemy I won't be able to attack because of course that needs stamina also. Now I could go around at the snails pace to conserve my stamina but unfortunatly the regem speed means that eventually you'll be stuck in the same place of not being able to attack or dodge.
So while the game looks the business that is sadly all it does right now.
