Overview and Gameplay
A monster invasion turns Dokapon Kingdom into a ruthless race for money, villages, and royal favor. Dokapon 3-2-1: Arashi o Yobu Yuujou is a Super Famicom board-game RPG where heroes compete to become the richest adventurer while saving the kingdom.
Players spin a roulette to move around the map, fight monsters, liberate towns, buy equipment, use items and field magic, and interfere with rivals. Scenario mode adds chapter-based progression, while Normal mode focuses on a long wealth race and Battle Royale modes set special goals.
