Much like Miguel two years ago, I’m here to tell you that Katamari Damacy REROLL is a Japanese gaming treasure, tarted up for a new generation. ![]() The soundtrack is top-tier work, too, to the point that Katamari mixes have long been a go-to of mine when working, studying, or in the mood for uplifting tunes spliced with some killer jazz. Katamari is one of the strongest examples of games that out-flex photorealism with their gorgeous art direction. There wasn’t much Namco needed to do here in terms of visuals besides remaster everything in HD. There’s also a score-chasing element here, as well as competitive split-screen multiplayer that helps expand REROLL’s lifespan beyond its trippy main adventure. In terms of playable content, there isn’t as much as other games in the Katamari series though plenty to keep you going as you bounce between a mix of story and bonus levels. Katamari Damacy REROLL really isn’t the smoothest, most modern-feeling game to play and that could definitely rub newcomers the wrong way, but only if they’ve somehow not been entranced by its sheer bizarreness. The items you manage to stick onto will morph the Katamari’s shape – snag a few fence panels and they’ll likely jut out of one side, awkwardly catching on your surroundings as you roll along. Meanwhile turning is done by pushing up on one stick and down on the other, clicking them both snapping you 180 degrees when you need to quickly pivot. You’ll need to move both sticks in tandem to push your big ball of rubbish in that direction. Just take a look at the Prince’s dad, The King of All Cosmos, to get a dose of the game’s fruity flavour.Ĭontrolling your Katamari in REROLL is deliberately clunky. Everything, from the calming pastel colours to the blocky 3D models and character designs are uniquely endearing. This game turns out to be the complete opposite, oozing with eccentric charm from every pore. In another universe, there’s a version of Katamari Damacy that is M-rated nightmare fuel. The game resulted from a school project from the Namco Digital Hollywood Game Laboratory, and was developed for less than 1 million. By the end of the game, however, you’ll be big enough to roll up people, cars, and entire cities. Katamari Damacy (Japanese: Katamari Damash, 'clump soul') is a third-person puzzle-action video game that is developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation 2 video game console. Damacy starts you off at the small end, scooping up various articles of Japanese paraphernalia around a suburban home. ![]()
