Doki Monsters: Quest Announced for Nintendo Switch – Retro RPG Adventure Coming Soon

RedDeerGames, an independent publisher known for its diverse lineup of retro and indie experiences, has officially announced Doki Monsters: Quest—a nostalgic, creature-catching RPG destined for the Nintendo Switch platform.

The publisher shared that the game will be launching soon, with full release details to follow in the near future. Doki Monsters: Quest presents players with a heartfelt journey reminiscent of classic handheld RPGs.

The game offers a blend of exploration, strategic battles, and story-driven gameplay, focusing on the protagonist’s quest to locate a lost childhood friend.

Along the adventure, players will catch, train, and team up with over 140 distinct monsters named Doki Monsters.

As they explore more than 15 towns, players can expect to encounter a variety of challenges, including confrontations with Rangers and mysterious corporations that threaten the peace of the in-game world. In a statement paraphrased for clarity, RedDeerGames highlighted their intention to capture "the warmth and freedom of classic cartridge-era RPGs, enhanced with features designed for modern comfort." Standout gameplay improvements include the ability to fast-forward through battles for brisker pacing, toggle navigational tips on or off depending on player preference, and keep track of objectives with a streamlined quest log.

Additionally, players can personalize their experience with the option to switch between a nostalgic 8-bit soundtrack and a softer piano arrangement, reflecting the developer's dedication to accessibility and player choice. Doki Monsters: Quest’s world encourages discovery at every turn, offering not only battles and rare monster hunts, but also activities like fishing and side quests—all wrapped up in vibrant, pixel-art visuals.

The game’s post-story content extends its replayability, challenging veteran adventurers with new rare monsters to find and engage.

This robust scope positions it as a compelling option for fans of classic creature-collecting franchises and newcomers alike. While an exact release date has not yet been unveiled, Doki Monsters: Quest is set to join the expanding eShop catalogue on Nintendo Switch soon.

Players interested in this retro-inspired title can view the official announcement trailer on RedDeerGames’ platforms.
