Get ready for an exciting musical adventure with Ratatan Day 1 Edition (Nintendo Switch 2), an innovative rhythm-action game that combines strategic battles, colorful characters and roguelike gameplay. Developed by Ratata Arts and published by Game Source Entertainment, Ratatan delivers a distinctive experience where music becomes your most powerful weapon.

Journey to the lively island of Rataport, home to mysterious creatures known as the Ratatans and their loyal companions. United by a shared dream, these courageous heroes set out on an extraordinary adventure to reach The Everafter, a legendary place where they hope to meet The Goddess.

Blending rhythm-based commands, side-scrolling action and roguelike mechanics, Ratatan challenges players to lead an army of adorable fighters called Cobuns. Issue commands in time with the music to advance, attack and defend while carefully managing your positioning on the battlefield.

Unlike traditional rhythm games, Ratatan allows you to move your hero freely during combat, making timing, positioning and tactical decision-making equally important. Massive battles can feature more than 100 characters fighting simultaneously, creating energetic encounters filled with movement and spectacular action.

The game's roguelike elements introduce changing challenges and unpredictable encounters, encouraging players to experiment with different strategies, equipment and upgrades as they progress through repeated adventures.

Experience the journey alone or team up with friends through online cooperative multiplayer for up to four players. With expressive 2D animation, memorable characters and an infectious soundtrack, Ratatan offers a refreshing adventure for rhythm-game and action fans alike.
