For my own sanity, I gave up reviewing AI slop games. They’re cheaply made lazy crap that clog up the eshop. 17studio, creator of Draw Rider, switched over to making slop because its vastly more profitable than actually trying. For two reasons, I am here reviewing their Dokugirls, the first being that it uses realistic AI photos instead of anime ones, which is unusual. The second reason is that this a Sudoku game and not a bad one. The problem comes when its $9.99 and done better elsewhere. The Sudoku itself is well formulated and allows notes, and a region highlight, which is pretty useful. Get the number right, and a part of the picture is revealed. Make three mistakes and its game over. This actually works to Dokugirls’ benefit as it makes it harder.
The problem with Dokugirls is that its expensive, $9.99(and not on sale either) and done better elsewhere. There are twenty-seven games with the word Sudoku in the title, and probably more without. There is a rather old game called Sudoku Universe, which provides three variations of Sudoku for $6.99. Why get Dokugirls, which is AI Slop? I mean if you want generic AI generated images, go ahead, but I’m not sure its worth it.
I have to give credit, AI images are getting harder and harder to spot, but they’re still AI and still lazy. I want real women in these games! Dokugirls gets a Your Mileage May Vary verdict with a 6 back-end score.
Overall: Dokugirls is Sudoku with AI generated images. Its overpriced and the Sudoku is done better elsewhere. Get it if you want.
Verdict: Your Mileage May Vary.
