Lokko, a vibrant new 3D platformer, emerges from the talented team at Appy Monkeys, an India-based developer collaborating with Sony's India Hero Project. This exciting game boasts cross-play functionality across mobile, PC, and PS5, seamlessly integrating DualShock features on all platforms.
India's burgeoning game development scene often flies under the radar, but Lokko, alongside titles like Indus Battle Royale, signals a promising future. Developed through Sony's India Hero Project—an incubator nurturing Indian developers—Lokko offers a unique blend of features: extensive level editors, a deep avatar creator, and a quirky premise of timely pizza delivery amidst a battle against the Goobol food corporation monopoly.
What truly sets Lokko apart is its commitment to cross-platform play and the inclusion of DualShock controller support across all platforms. This ambitious approach blends the best elements of modern gaming successes.
Lokko cleverly incorporates popular features like character customization and level creation, employing a charming low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of Roblox. However, the backing of PlayStation and its cross-platform capabilities position Lokko as a compelling alternative to established platforms.
While the gameplay may not reinvent the wheel, Appy Monkeys' vision is undeniably exciting. Lokko's potential, combined with the promise of future projects from the India Hero Project, is truly captivating.
Although a precise release date for Lokko remains elusive (though slated for sometime this year), consider exploring another fantastic cross-platform indie title in the meantime: Dredge, the eldritch fishing simulator from Black Salt Games!
