The game director of Locco Roco is back again. "New" is one way to describe that experience, but we have a cavalcade of available terms (quirky, fresh, innovative, etc.) typically applied to titles deemed too left-of-center for a mainstream audience, whether due to a unique audio/visual design or an unfamiliar style of play. In the case of Patapon, the title has been lauded for both: using the face buttons as a set of drums, players must tap out memorized commands to guide their minions (which resemble walking, singing eyeballs) into battle against other tribes, as well as giant dragons and crustaceans.
Patapon is a hybrid of the rhythm, action, and strategy genres with a 2D cardboard cutout look that many have compared to 2006's LocoRoco. Patapon is said to be"inventive" when it is being displayed at the Tokyo Game Show last fall and noted its potential for highly addictive gameplay, but there's still some concern about how the title will be received by the non-core audience.
This is a totally adorable and highly recommended game for all ages.So grab it as soon as it's out!!
Let's take a sneak at what is it like.
