About
Hey there, fellow game enthusiast! Let’s tap-tap-tap, boom-boom-boom, and shout “Ratatan” as we charge through the latest roguelike escapade by the masters behind the groovy rhythm game, Patapon. Join me on a journey across the realm of Redo, where we’ll gather our Cobun troops and rally our dearest allies to crush any wicked foes who dare cross our path!
In this game, players have the freedom to explore individually or join forces with friends online in a chaotic four-player multiplayer mode. Experience massive battles involving over 100 characters vying for dominance. Overpower your adversaries by syncing with the lively tunes of Ratatan’s enchanting soundtrack as you embark on an emotional journey filled with joy!
Nestled within the serene expanse of the sea is the lively island of Rataport, populated by the enigmatic yet captivating Ratatans. These creatures coexist peacefully with their companions, despite their varied appearances and temperaments. They all harbor a common aspiration: to traverse The Everafter and encounter the legendary Deity, rumored to dwell there. With optimism as their guide, the Ratatans embark on their quest, unfazed by potential setbacks, steadfast in their pursuit of the day they can gaze upon her majesty.
The Ratatans are musical explorers who wield magical devices known as Melodium to control their Cobun forces. Lead your team by giving rhythmic commands, navigating them through grand, ever-changing battles. Your strategic placement, prompt orders, and tactical retreats will determine your victories!
Rhythm Commands and Cobun Orders
Dance along with the tune to issue timing-synchronized commands to guide your Cobun, ensuring they move as desired. The agile Ratatan can be maneuvered freely, so exercise your best judgment on when and where to give orders, where to position yourself during an attack, and when it’s time to retreat. A keen sense of rhythm and strategy will enhance your chances of surviving challenging expeditions while minimizing Cobun casualties!
Fever System
Stick with the rhythm and your party will reach “Fever Pitch,” a must-have feature in any great rhythm game! As the backdrop music adapts dynamically, you’ll feel the energy intensify. Your Cobun characters will dance frantically, creating an exhilarating atmosphere that gets everyone’s blood pumping! And if all parties reach “Fever Pitch” simultaneously, it’ll be a night to remember!
Adorable 2d Animations
In the game called Ratatan, characters are brought to life through delightful 2D animations that showcase lively personality in their movements. Your loyal and endearing helpers, known as The Cobun, will wobble and wiggle as they carry out your commands, while your adversaries attempt to intimidate with their amusingly exaggerated actions, making the world of Ratatan even more vibrant and entertaining.
Toe-Tapping Soundtrack
Don’t you need an appropriate melody to guide your team? Don’t stress! We have just the right music for you, composed by experienced musician Kemmei Adachi, to help you conquer your opponents with a charming sense of fearlessness!
Developed collaboratively by Ratata Arts, Hiroyuki Kotani (the creator behind Patapon), and TVT Co., Ltd., this game boasts over 100 controllable characters, action driven by rhythm, and an enchanting universe filled with music, mythical creatures, and multiplayer chaos. The soundtrack showcases tunes from seasoned composer Kemmei Adachi, as well as a unique contribution by David Wise.
