Bokura wa Kaseki Holder – import review

By published

Build your own dino. Parts supplied through the Pokemon scrap heap

If you’d prefer to work for your Pokemon, then Bokura wa Kaseki Holder (translated as ‘We Are Fossil Holders’) is for you. This dino-baiting Poke-’em-up asks you to build your prehistoric war beasts from scratch. First, you need to head out into the field to dig for fossilized remains. Once you find a likely lump of rock, you can set to work on freeing it from its sedimentary grave using your trusty hammer and chisel (the stylus).

Bright, breezy and more engaging than the similar Spectrobes, the fact remains that language barriers will often grind your progress to a crashing halt. One to keep tabs on come the inevitable western release.

Import Score: 7

Hello! I'm the former Deputy Editor of Official Xbox Magazine, and worked on mags such as NGamer, Xbox World and PC Zone, so I definitely have some idea of what is and what isn't a video game. Outside of gaming, my hobbies include birdwatching, canoeing, tennis, ice hockey and travel - particularly to far-flung parts of the world where nature still rules supreme.
