Donk! Samurai Duck! stars an ordinary duck named Donk, who was raised by samurai warriors. To prove himself he has set off to collect crystals from 112 levels of earth. Once you collect the target quota of gems, you must escape form each level through one of its many exits, giving the game a similar structure to Alien Breed: Tower Assault. Magical powers can be collected along the way, including the ability to turn into an inflatable toy duck, which makes it possible to float across water. There is a simultaneous split-screen 2-player mode included as well.
[edit] Trivia
- The game was originally going to be released with the title Dong, as the foreign developers were unaware that the word means "penis" in English speaking countries. The name was changed at the last moment to Donk. Some demo versions distributed on Amiga coverdisks still bore the name Dong.
- Several sound effects used in Donk were sampled from Sonic the Hedgehog.
[edit] Modern Remake
Cryptic Allusion and The GOAT Store are working with the original creators of Donk! to update the game for the Sega Dreamcast. The game will display at 640x480 resolution, so the artwork is going to be revamped, and Cryptic Allusion's Roddy Toomim is supplying some new music for the soundtrack.
