Lokko is an upcoming mobile, PC and PS5 project from Sony\'s India Hero Project

Lokko: A New 3D Platformer from India, Featuring Cross-Play and DualShock Support

Appy Monkeys, an Indian game developer in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, is bringing us Lokko, a vibrant 3D platformer. This exciting title boasts cross-play functionality across mobile, PC, and PS5, with DualShock controller support on all platforms. This highlights the growing potential of the Indian game development scene.

Lokko, born from Sony's initiative to nurture Indian talent, offers players a compelling blend of features. It includes extensive level editors and a detailed avatar creator, allowing for personalized gameplay experiences. The core gameplay revolves around timely pizza delivery amidst a battle against the monopolistic Goobol food corporation.

Lokko in Action

Lokko's design draws inspiration from successful modern games, incorporating character customization, user-generated content through level creation, and a low-poly art style reminiscent of Roblox. However, the backing of PlayStation and its cross-platform capabilities position Lokko as a strong contender in the platforming genre.

The gameplay, while not revolutionary, appears polished and engaging. Appy Monkeys' work shows promise, and the India Hero Project's continued support is exciting for the future of Indian game development.

While a precise release date is yet to be announced (though expected this year), Lokko promises a fun and accessible experience. In the meantime, consider checking out another recently cross-platform released indie gem: Dredge, the eldritch fishing simulator from Black Salt Games!
