Copoka

A good little game for chilling out, easy to play but a bit repetitive.

I’m usually a pretty big fan of these sit back and relax while the story happens around you sort of games but this one wasn’t quite it for me. I get what the devs were going for and did enjoy the vastness of the city as you get to fly around as a bird but it still felt pretty hollow. I get that this was from a pretty small dev team so I can’t knock it that hard but I just didn’t click with it. The story covered the paranoia of a totalitarian ruler of this city and her inevitable downfall. All told from the perspective of the playable bird listening to the citizens plot and follow through on a mission to take down the leader. It is interesting to be placed into a story with agency but you as the play have no control over it beyond moving the narrative along by finding objects to build out your nest with. It was interesting listening to the towns people but not something I really messed with. Maybe if I played this on my gaming rig and not the steam deck it may have been more enjoyable. But at the end of the day it just wasn’t for me. Always fun experiencing a new game that I haven’t heard of and even better clearing out my Steam account’s backlog.

Copoka es una pequeña experiencia narrativa donde controlas a un pájaro que sobrevuela una ciudad en un país ficticio sumido en tensiones políticas. No hay combates ni misiones al uso, tu tarea es recoger ramitas para construir tu nido mientras observas el mundo desde las alturas y escuchas las conversaciones de sus habitantes, que poco a poco te revelan la historia del lugar. Su estética minimalista y su música suave crean una atmósfera muy tranquila, casi poética. Es más una reflexión que un juego tradicional, ideal para disfrutar sin prisas y dejarte llevar por lo que ves y escuchas. Eso sí, su duración es corta y su ritmo pausado, así que no es para todo el mundo. 👍🏻 Recomendable si te gustan las experiencias narrativas tranquilas y con un toque artístico. Es breve, pero tiene un mensaje bonito y una perspectiva diferente.

WOW! Sinceramente no esperaba mucho (o mas bien nada) de este juego. La historia es "triste" que hace reflexionar y la ambientación sublime. 33% del juego es la banda sonora + 33% historia principal + 33% conversaciones secundarias (recomiendo escucharlas) En 1 hora y media lo tenéis completado al 100%, pero que hora y media! por 1€ es una experiencia muy chula, que si os gusta los walking simulator, os va a flipar. PD. Es casi obligatorio jugar con mando

Ever wanted to be a bird soaring through the sky? Wandering the world enjoying the scenery and occasionally listening in to peoples conversations? Then Copoka is very much for you. Copoka is a story game at its core, which is told as you interact with the world as a bird. You do not really do anything aside from collecting items and listening to snippets of conversation, but for a short game it definitely keeps you engaged for a few hours.

nette kleine Erfahrung, schöner Aufbau des Spiels, man ist der reine beobachter und kein Akteur, dabei erzählt es seine Geschichte durch gespräche die man zuhört und malt ein angenehm breites Bild, das vermeintliche schwarz-weiss zeigt sich dann als hintergründiger und grauer. definitiv empfehlenswerte 1-2Std Spielerfahrung :)

Short and very relaxing, Copoka isn't a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon. I found the world charming and achievements fun to obtain, taking me out of the way to look for secrets I wouldn't have found otherwise. It can be a little janky, and I wasn't a huge fan of the "no detail" art style, but it's worth the price of admission at $5.

Poetic freedom, that's how this game can be described. Copoka makes you live an experience : - Being free when others are chained up, - Being joyful when others are desperate, - Being healthy when others are dying. It's interesting to observe the evolution of this country and its people. But having the possibility to fly away of this oppression is an intense relief. If you read this, I wish you the same feeling that mine when I discovered this game.
