Ratatan is the spiritual successor to the beloved PlayStation series Patapon and comes from senior members of Sony’s sadly defunct Japan Studio including composer Kemmei Adachi, game designer Hiroyuki Kotani and more. It is being developed in partnership between Ratata Arts and TVT Co. Ltd.

Ratatan is a rhythm roguelike action game that combines rhythm games and side-scrolling action, with online co-op gameplay supporting up to 4 players. Intense battles unfold with over 100 characters fighting in massive melee encounters. You’ll defeat the enemies by riding the rhythm of Ratatan’s catchy, toe-tapping soundtrack in this delightful, heartfelt adventure.
