About

In the game called “PATAPON”, players control adorable, enigmatic ball-like characters called Patapons by using the beat of four mystical drums for commands in an action-adventure setting.

Each Patapon boasts distinctive traits and roles, such as the Hatapon, who serves as the squad leader, waving its flag and guiding allies; the Tatepon, guardian with a large shield to safeguard others; and the Yumipon, marksman armed with arrows for attack. The duties of each Patapon in combat differ based on their roles, enabling you to construct a versatile and balanced army ready to face diverse challenges ahead!

As the player, you are the God of the Patapons and lead them on a grand adventure to Earthend!
