Emerging from the vibrant Indian game development scene, Lokko is a fresh 3D platformer created by Appy Monkeys in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project. This exciting title boasts cross-play functionality across mobile, PC, and PS5, seamlessly integrating DualShock features on all platforms.
India's growing influence in game development is highlighted by projects like Lokko and the previously discussed Indus Battle Royale. Lokko, born from Sony's India Hero Project—an incubator fostering Indian developers—offers a unique blend of features. It's a 3D platformer where players deliver pizzas while battling the Goobol food corporation, all within a customizable world featuring extensive level editors and an in-depth avatar creator.
What truly sets Lokko apart is its cross-platform compatibility and cross-play support, further enhanced by DualShock controller integration across all platforms. This innovative approach combines the best aspects of modern gaming successes.
Lokko cleverly incorporates elements reminiscent of popular titles like Roblox, including character customization and level creation, but with a distinct low-poly aesthetic. Backed by PlayStation's support, Lokko has the potential to become a strong contender in the platformer market.
While the gameplay might not entirely reinvent the wheel, Appy Monkeys' vision is promising. Lokko's innovative features and the potential of the India Hero Project make it a title worth watching. Although a precise release date is yet to be announced (beyond a sometime this year window), Lokko promises an exciting addition to the gaming landscape.
