In the Xelos region, you set out to uncover what happened to your missing childhood friend. Along the way, you explore a world threatened by dangerous Dokimon and confront Rangers and corporations.
Find and capture more than 140 Dokimon, then build a team for turn-based battles. Matchups depend on creature types, and Dokimon can evolve—even during combat—as they grow stronger.
Explore towns, routes, caves, shrines, seas, and mountains while completing quests and finding items that open new paths. You can adjust Dokimon’s moves and bonus stats from menus, rematch Rangers who grow stronger, and seek rare color variants.
Players who enjoyed the game often valued its retro handheld-style presentation and the familiar pleasure of exploring, catching creatures, and building a team. Some also praised the distinct Dokimon designs and flexible options for changing moves, stats, and forms, which let them experiment without committing to a single build.
Dokimon Quest is a turn-based monster-taming RPG set in a GameBoy Color-inspired pixel world. Capture, train, and battle alongside 140+ original monsters as you push into a dangerous open world to uncover the mystery behind your missing childhood friend.

Dokimon Quest was made in MonTamer Maker (MonMae, also known as Luna), a platform/engine built specifically for making monster tamer games. The engine keeps growing thanks to its devs and community — so making new Dokimon Quest (and similar) titles is within arm's reach, even for you.
"Watch out!" "You almost just got singed by a Burnsby!! Didn't you know? They may be cute and cuddly, but they hide amongst plush animals, and strike out at unsuspecting prey. Their cute demeanor can quickly send you on a trip to the hospital!"

Professor Rei: "Oh, hey! I didn't see you there. I was practicing my lines for... err, nevermind."
"My name is Rei! I've made a bit of a name for myself as a Dokimon specialist. Ever since the Great Divide, I've made it my mission to thoroughly document Dokimon on Earth. Dokimon are extremely dangerous creatures, so studying them profusely helps ensure everyone's safety. You probably already knew that, though..."
"But anyway, what are you still doing here? Go play the game already!"
