About This Game

Dokkalfar is a modern Metroidvania following Vivi, a Dark Elf hunter tracking the sorcerer Erasmus and his cult across a vast fantasy realm.

Master fast, acrobatic movement and shadow magic as you fight, explore, and uncover the truth behind a forbidden power capable of awakening ancient horrors.

Every path forward is shaped by your abilities, equipment, and choices as you grow stronger through fluid traversal and reactive combat.

Vivi's journey comes to life through beautifully hand-drawn illustrations during dialogue and narrative screens, all set to an original soundtrack with melodic, memorable compositions that define its dark atmosphere.

Play as a Dark Elf Hero

Chain together slides, evades, and aerial dashes to fluidly navigate complex environments and aggressive encounters.

Strike from a distance with Vivi’s signature whip, execute precise counters with her parry dagger, or debilitate foes with poisoned darts. Adapt your approach by equipping weapons and gear found throughout the realm.

Combine acrobatic movement with your arsenal to dictate the rhythm of battle.

Master Shadow Magic

Dark Elf magic is subtle, precise, and lethal. Vanish from sight with shadow cloaking, peer through darkness with heightened perception, and blink through hazards using Shadow Step.

As your power grows, unleash darkness orbs, life-draining attacks, and levitation to dominate hostile territory and turn it into your personal hunting ground.

Forbidden techniques expand your control over both combat and the hidden paths of the world.

Choose your approach

Early in your journey, Vivi is guided by mentors who introduce different approaches to combat and magic.

You can specialize in weapons, focus on shadow magic, or blend both into your own style. Some techniques and equipment are tied to your chosen direction, while others remain available to all.

Whether you commit to a focused build or forge your own hybrid approach, your playstyle evolves through the choices you make.

Level Up and Build Vivi

Defeating enemies and completing challenges grants experience, allowing Vivi to level up and improve her core attributes.

Unlock new abilities and discover weapons, armor, and relics that not only increase power, but change how Vivi fights, moves, and explores the world.

Experiment with different equipment, stats, and resistances to shape loadouts that suit your preferred playstyle.

Face Powerful Enemies

The world is filled with hostile forces shaped by Erasmus’ cult—cultists, corrupted creatures, and ancient beasts awakened by primordial magic once meant for the protection of all races.

Encounters are relentless and demand constant movement, timing, and awareness as enemies close distance, control space, and punish hesitation.

Survive by weaving together traversal, shadow magic, and weapons as you adapt to increasingly dangerous threats.
