Ignore my playtime, I was a backer and had advanced access months before the game came out. Right out the gate, I LOVE Patapon, I love it a lot. The original devs coming back to make a legally distinct sequel years later? A childhood dream come true. Boy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ howdy was I wrong to get my hopes up. Where do I even start?

WARNING: Do not go into this game expecting it to be exactly like Patapon 1,2 & 3. Read the description For one as it says its roguelike, lots of grinding needed for the other levels as those stages will absolutely wreck you. Its a great game, that uses the genre of roguelike well. With the different element left for you to experiment on and play off, every run feels a bit different than the last one. The …

A lot of love was clearly put into this game, and with the constant updates, it’s only going to get better. If you’re a fan of Patapon you have to play Ratatan, it’s a worthy successor and then some. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but for an Early Access title, it’s already a ton of fun. There are many things I love about Ratatan, but the most noteworthy are the amazing headbopping music (even better than …

You command your little army through whimsical, 2-D side scrolling music-driven battles. The updated visuals and …

positive · AI labelView post →I believe this is a failed Kickstarter project and as a backer I was tossed to the side while devs struggled to keep the minimal requirements of the promised project, now resulting in a bare minimum concept of a game rather than an experience with this full release. Still missing features promised without stretch goals and plenty of stretch goals never even touched. As the game seems fun at first it quickly becomes insanely repetitive and a chore to play, as it's more of a rogue-lite than…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is a lot of effort put into this game, but its really in the wrong places. They wanted to make "patapon but with new stuff" - the roguelite aspect is definitely new, but its quite boring to play more than a few times. The art is extremely nice, and there are main characters who are really well made - but they are tied to classes, so if you have a character then your army is fixed, and vice-versa. Oh, and they give you no options what to bring with you, have 2 types of classes, and you…

The art, while great, meshes together that it's hard to see what's going on. The music, while wonderful, is extremely extremely limited. 5 songs. And for the most part you'll be listening to just 3 of them. Over and over and over and over. It's Patapon's successor, but I don't think it's a success. They claimed to have heard the community,…

neutral · AI labelView post →I love Patapon. I played every Patapon game on the PSP and was extremely excited at the announcement of this game. This is not Patapon. And that's perfectly fine, but it's not a good roguelite either. The grind is necessary; it took me 1 run to get to the third boss and 6 runs to get past the third boss, and then I promptly died on the next world because of how little damage I was doing. Examples of why you have to grind you grind for weapons, both legendary and not - because upgrading…

neutral · AI labelView post →I hoped for a patapon like campaign then I backed this game on a kickstarter. Now I’m just disappointed it is a roguelike. It has solid music but the pacing gets interrupted every time you complete the stage so you can select your reward. There is no good flow to the gameplay. You play your music, music abruptly stops, you stop, you need to pick your reward, go to another stage, repeat. Your „army” composition feels very limited. Instead of freedom you get small boosts in some stats. This game…

However it looked funny and unique in its own way, so I watched some videos on it. Through that, I found out Ratatan was being made and how its the spiritual successor to Patapon. I played this game for a little bit and I adore it. Its totally not something I would normally play. I tend to like strategy games or city builders or rogue lite games. Ratatan being a rhythm game…

YEAH, i understansd that this game is rogue-lite. but you just can't beat a 3d boss on fresh character because it is a damage race which you will loose with stock equipment and without Ratatan skill, which is locked behind a quest. Upgrade for that ultimate skill is also locked behind grind. 2) Upgrading weapons is like in a typical mobile game feed 10000 other weapons to one you want to…

neutral · AI labelView post →We wanted patapon. But too much is missing from this game. No minigames, no distinct missions, no overarching story, no skill tree, no status effect customization, no praying chants, no random events.. the things they added are active skills and roguelite playloops. but to reach further levels you have to beat all previous ones which can feel VERY boring. It is way too barebone compared to patapon 3.The good things about this game are the music and art. It scratches the patapon itch, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I backed this game on kickstarter and I payed a hell of a lot more than I would have, if I knew what the end product is going to be like. Do not make the same mistake and expect to experience the new Patapon in this game. This is but a shadow of the Patapon games. Similar look, similar drum-beat commands but without any depth. Gone are the character building mechanics, leveling up passives from one class to unlock them for the rest, weapon crafting rythm mini games, story, memorable rivals and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I get why, it was really funny chatting with some of the team during SGF, hearing them stress they want Ratatan to be seen as a different game to Patapon... when the logo is very, very clearly designed to be read as "Patapon" in addition to "Ratatan".

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Removing welcome mode was a kick in the teeth. Why can’t I just have ez mode on like before? I’ve got some short term memory issues that limits me from enjoying a lot of games. Why not just separate saves in locked welcome mode and not welcome mode instead? You’ve completely killed my enjoyment for this game with this change. I genuinely don’t see who it benefits.

positive · AI labelView post →Being a big fan of the original Patapons, I backed Ratatan as soon as the kickstarter went live and have been eagerly awaiting the 1.0 release. I wasn't following development closely. When the first beta cameout for backers, I hopped on briefly to see how it looked but didn't play more than 30 mintues or so cause I wanted to just let the game finish. All this is to say, I had no prior expectations of what should be in the game from promises made in kickstarter, I just wanted to judge the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God knows I didn’t want to write this review before hearing some kind of comment on the situation from the developers. But given the response we ultimately received, I feel a personal obligation to speak out. I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen such a farce among the games I’ve actually paid for... The game is half-baked at best. All three mechanics highlighted in the developer diaries — 1) roguelite elements, 2) character control, and 3) multiplayer — are poorly implemented and show…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lacking and most of the promised within the beta hasn't been implemented. The release is pretty much rebrand of early access nothing new added. In terms of mechanics there's a lot of offset attacks of normal/mini boss enemy and auto aiming npcs that will target your character no matter how far away you are. For the price of release i do not recommend buying it at this price. To make it worse the developers are listening to their shareholders or producers only not to their backers so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun Many people not play enough and post the comment. Yes, The weapon class is restricted, but ONLY IN THE BEGINNING. DO THE QUEST TO UNLOCK IT. There is a hard mode with different boss. Don't give up after completing the first run. The disadvantage is it is time consuming and repeated to collect the item for updat and craft. But not a big deal, it is PC game. Looking Forwards to more content. Appreciate.

positive · AI labelView post →"Full Release" despite missing most of the content from kickstarters stretch goals and lacking in polish. The game can be fun but is way too repetitive for a roguelike. All I can hope as a backer that it will get better over time but I'm losing hope.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the original patapons and I dont think experimenting with the formula is bad. Game is short as hell - it took me around 6h to finish all 5 worlds with a ratatan that I like. Now what? Just grind gear for sake of grinding gear and playing the same game but with additional modifiers to make it harder? Also I miss that there is not much to look forward in this game - usually in a roug like you see something you can't use yet - you need to unlock some skill or something to take another…

For the people who don't know, the studio that made Patapon shut down in 2021, so they made a new studio with essentially the same people and decided to do a Patapon spiritual successor.

positive · AI labelView post →This is a failed Kickstarter project. So many promises ended up going unfulfilled, and the full release of the game feels and functions like a prototype. Nothing has really changed since early access, and progressing past Episode 2 is impossible due to a bug present in the game as of writing this. The developers apparently forgot to even implement a way to see if you've met the requirements to unlock Episode 3. Several errors in the English translation of early access never got fixed. No…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not what was promised. Sure, it's sort of fun, but it's not comparable to what was supposed to be delivered during the kickstarter and its listed stretch goals. One can hope that after 4 years, those missing features get added to the game as how it currently stands its rather boring, because it gets repetitive fast.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as a backer, i'm really disappointed to see that absolutely nothing has changed about ratatan in a meaningful way since the beta (or even the kickstarter trailer) other than just new content. it is unfortunately lacking in all departments: audio, visual, and gameplay, incredibly repetitive and just a disproportionate time sink to do anything at all despite it being a roguelite. the fact that you can pay extra money to get a boost in progression? it makes this game really feel like a predatory…

I was really excited about this game and it was even fun initially (you can see the number of hours I wasted on it). Since the devs used Patapon to hype up their kickstarter and gather attention from that point on, we cannot avoid comparisons between the two projects.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Developers ran a successful kickstarter campaign and proceeded to not deliver most of what they promised, including physical games to their backers and the merch people paid for. I could overlook all that if the game was fun, but it’s a repetitive loop of the same actions over and over again. There is no diversity in levels, runs take between 50 minutes and 2 hours. I was hoping it would get better in the later episodes, but it doesn’t.

The game is now in its official release version, yet it still has plenty of bugs that were already present in the beta and in early access. Repetitive music The game gets repetitive very quickly. You’ll always hear the same 5 or 6 songs on each map, and only 3 songs for the boss variants: all the regular bosses of each level share the same song, and the main enemies share one too, even though…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What was meant to be a spiritual successor to Patapon, turned out to be a very underwhelming and disappointing unfinished Kickstarter game. It's fun for a few hours, but then you realize just how grindy and repetetive this game gets. There are basically 5 levels, with 5 songs, and that's all you get. Go mindlessly grind them until you get weapons and meta progression materials. Then after your first victory, unlock access to "Goddess Games", which means you can select your difficulty modifier…
