Patapon's unique cocktail of rhythmic strategy has been missing for far too long, but a spiritual successor made by Patapon veterans finally has an early access release date.

For those unaware, developers who worked on the cult classic PSP series jumped to Kickstarter a few years ago and managed to raise a whopping $1.5 million (219,314,335 yen) to fund a roguelike successor called Ratatan. It still has a gorgeous style and combat that has you syncing up commands with the beat, but this time, the cutesy little soldiers will chant rat-ta-ta-tan as they march into battle.
