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 cloak, 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

• Defeat enemies and complete quests to gain experience to level up, Leveling up improves Vivi's 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 overrun with corrupted creatures, ancient monsters, and the cult of the sorcerer Erasmus.

• 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.

Explore an interconnected Fantasy World

• Travel across a connected world of frozen tundra, ancient jungles, abandoned mines, haunted forests, forgotten dungeons, and villages.

• Discover hidden paths, secret rooms, and optional rewards.

• Unlock shortcuts and fast travel as new abilities open previously unreachable places.
