India is increasingly becoming a hub for game development, and the upcoming 3D platformer, Lokko, is a testament to this growth. Developed by Appy Monkeys in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, Lokko is poised to be a significant milestone in Indian gaming.

Lokko is not just another game; it's a product of Sony's India Hero Project, an incubator aimed at fostering the next big releases from Indian developers. Appy Monkeys have harnessed this opportunity to craft Lokko, a game where players deliver pizzas while competing against the monopolistic Goobol food corporation. The game features a robust level editor and an in-depth avatar creator, inviting players to dive deep into customization and creation.

What sets Lokko apart is its cross-play functionality across mobile, PC, and PS5 platforms, along with the integration of Dualshock features on all versions. This level of compatibility is a significant draw, making Lokko accessible and enjoyable for a broad audience.

Lokko combines several modern gaming trends, such as character customization, level creation, and a charming low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of games like Roblox. Yet, it stands out with the backing of PlayStation, potentially offering a compelling alternative to similar platforms.

The gameplay of Lokko may not reinvent the wheel, but that's not necessarily a flaw. Appy Monkeys have crafted an engaging experience that's worth keeping an eye on. Moreover, the India Hero Project's involvement hints at more exciting developments to come from Indian game developers.

While we await a specific release date for Lokko, slated for sometime this year, fans of indie games can explore another cross-platform gem, the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge by Black Salt Games, for a unique gaming experience.
