Ratatan is a rhythm-based roguelike side-scrolling game that combines rhythm commands, strategy, and action. The game can be played solo or cooperatively with up to four players. On the fields, players face over 100 different characters in massive close-combat battles. The player controls their Cobun troops by issuing rhythm commands to the beat of the music and freely moving the Ratatan character around the field.<\/p>\n
Cobun troops move and attack according to rhythm commands \u2013 the player must issue orders in the right direction to the beat of the music. The Ratatan character can be moved freely, so the player decides where commands are given, when to attack, and when to retreat. Sense of rhythm and tactical thinking determine how many Cobuns survive through the long adventures.<\/p>\n
