"The Patapon games are among the most brilliant innovations of the rhythm genre ever made, giving you little armies of adorable one-eyed creatures to command in musical combat."
"One of the main reasons we decided to go with a roguelite was because of the multiplayer aspect of the game. With Patapon, you could choose different quests...but that wouldn't work very well with a multiplayer game."
"Ratatan nails the most important aspect of those past games - a downright infectious vibe. The colorful characters of Ratatan are bristling with personality."
"It almost feels like a hyper-stylized Saturday Morning Cartoon, which then extends to the upbeat, poppy music."
The Patapon series, known for its unique blend of rhythm and strategy gameplay, has not seen a new installment in 14 years. However, the original creators are now working on Ratatan, a spiritual successor that builds on the Patapon formula while introducing roguelite elements and enhancing multiplayer capabilities. The gameplay retains the signature rhythm-based commands, allowing players to collect and lead charming minions in battle, but promises a modernized experience filled with vibrant art and music that captures the original's infectious charm.
