As you may be aware, thanks to our brilliant Nintendo Direct September 2018 roundup written by David Gill, Bandai Namco’s Katamari Damacy Reroll is coming to Switch and Steam. What’s more, Katamari Damacy Reroll releases this year on December 7th, where you’ll be able to finally get an idea on just what is going on in a game that is loved by its loyal fanbase.
But for those who have never played the game, what features is there that’ll be enough to invest brand new players into picking up the game for themselves for the first time ever? Well, we’re glad you asked because to understand what on earth is going on in Katamari Damacy Reroll, you’ll need more than a little bit of context.
In Katamari Damacy Reroll, you play as the Prince who has woken up one day to realize that his father, the King of Cosmos, has made quite a mess thanks to a night of drunken debauchery. In fact, his messed up so much that he’s managed to knock all the stars out of the night sky and left the Earth looking pretty dreary and dark. Of course, this is where the player comes in as you’re then tasked by the King to head to Earth to recreate the stars. How? By rolling up as many things as possible.
Interested? Great, because Katamari Damacy Reroll also has a number of new, upgraded cutscenes and graphics thanks to its remaster for the Nintendo Switch. Not only will the game look even better, but there will be new motion controls that have been optimized to make players comfortable, no matter whether they are playing in TV or Tabletop mode.
Whether it’s the fun J-Pop soundtrack, the quirky but cute art or even the slightly silly, but fascinating story, Bandai Namco’s Katamari Damacy Reroll looks to have something for everyone.
