Sony didn't want to develop the Patapon brand, leaving the series without a sequel. Its creator got tired of waiting and decided to act himself — that's how Ratatan appeared, the spiritual successor to the cult rhythm action game from PlayStation Portable.
Like the original, the new game from TVT studio offers rhythmic battles where the player controls a small tribe of warriors fighting for freedom.
The result was not long in coming: in a few weeks, Ratatan sold over 100,000 copies. For a major publisher, this is a modest figure, but for a small team, it is a significant success. Compared to indie hits like Megabonk, Ball x Pit, and even Absolum, the number looks more modest, but demonstrates a confident start for the new brand.
The creator of Patapon has proven that the idea is still alive — and that rhythm, strategy, and simple presentation still resonate with players.
