Zendoku

This means the player still needs to complete a column, row or 3x3 box were every symbol is only used once.

The player can test his skills either in Classic Sudoku or in Zen-Mode where he needs to solve Sudoku puzzles under the pressure of time, but the core of the game is the Quest-Mode.

At the beginning of the quest the player chooses from eight available characters.

Four fight with weapons, four freehand but each one has a different quest, uses different fighting styles and has a different lucky symbol.

Kingkage is for example a typical ninja.

He uses the Ninjutsu-style, wants to be a legendary fighter and has the panda as his lucky symbol.

Once a decision has been made. the player follows the story line of the chosen character on a 2D world map and when a fight occurs, the opponents play a round of Sudoku.

Every time one of the fighters completes a column, row or 3x3 box an attack is launched and obstacles appear on the opponents board while an attack icon travels along a rail towards the attacked.

If he now correctly places his lucky symbol on the board, the attack will be reversed back his opponent.

Placing a symbol incorrectly will make the player lose health and causes several cells on the opponent's grid to automatically fill in.

The game also features a multiplayer mode for two player in which they can either try to solve a puzzle together or play against each other in a battle.

Zendoku for Nintendo DS is currently worth €8.48 loose, €4.60 complete in box, and €8.75 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Zendoku has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Zendoku, loose is €8.48 and CIB is €4.60 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Zendoku is currently worth €8.48 loose, versus €9.86 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
