Doki Monsters: Quest is the name of a new Pokemon-like RPG announced for the Nintendo Switch. Developed by RedDeer Games, it's an interactive love letter to classic Pokemon titles, enhanced with modern quality-of-life features.
RedDeer is a Polish indie developer founded in 2018. Since its inception, the studio has largely focused on the Switch, with half of its eight internally developed titles being exclusive to Nintendo's hybrid console. The Warsaw-based company also publishes third-party games and develops miscellaneous software, including the Switch-exclusive utility bundle nOS: New Operating System.
RedDeer's latest project has now been officially revealed in the form of Doki Monsters: Quest, a nostalgic creature-catching RPG for the Nintendo Switch. The game promises a semi-open world with over a dozen interconnected towns, as well as more than 140 familiars to catch, train, and evolve. "Doki" (ドキ) is a Japanese onomatopoeia that mimics the sound of a heartbeat, particularly one associated with excitement, and does not have a direct English translation. In terms of character designs, Doki Monsters appears to riff on animals and various mythologies rather than Pokemon directly.
