Katamari Damacy REROLL Reviews

Incredible game, hard to learn and harder to master so you really gotta pull those gamer socks up to get the most out of this. As others said it feels like wrestling with the controls, even after 50 hrs I still feel like a noob and I am okay with that. god tier music, great level design and use of visual comedy. If you got that collector perk in your autism skill tree then you will enjoy collecting the 1600+ items require for 100% achievement.

[Editing to correct a few things I misremembered lol] This game as well as its sequel were huge parts of my childhood. When my older siblings and I were kids, we actually played "We Love Katamari" first. Wasn't too long after however that we got Damacy and we fell in love with it all over again! Words can't fully describe how much I love this game. Katamari is a beautifully strange game with an even stranger plot. You play as "The Prince" and you are tasked with remaking the cosmos after your father, The King of all Cosmos, accidentally destroys all the stars in the sky. The remaster is as faithful as it can be to the original while also adding great quality of life enhancements. The music in this game is so iconic and probably some of the most well known from the 6th gen consoles apart from maybe Halo or Kingdom Hearts. Regardless if you are new to the series, or if like me you grew up playing it, please do yourself a favor and pick this up. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Faithful port of a timeless game. Strong recommend if you like rolling balls in a psychedelic setting.

Discovered the game thanks to a youtuber who used a song on his streams, no longer watch the guy, but great game tho

very fun game, i absolutely love it despite the controls feeling a bit clunky at times, unfortunately the frame rate is capped at 30 with no way to change it :( if you care about that, the second game on steam we love katamari fixes that issue good soundtrack, fun gameplay i recommend especially if its on sale

Lightning struck in the early 2000's when Namco happened upon a brilliant idea for a brand new video game series. In Katamari Damcy, the player assumes the role of a tiny alien prince, who's main objective is to roll giant balls of items collected around the planet Earth. In the earlier stages, the player starts out rolling clusters of items found around the home. Pencils, flowers, food items, and other small trinkets that when rolled together, create the first few Katamari's. As levels progress, the challenges in Katamari Damcy continually increase, with objectives aimed at creating bigger Katamaris meant to engulf neighbourhoods, cities, and eventually ...continents themselves. Gameplay-wise, players steer the Katamari ball using the left and right analog sticks. Not every item can be picked up immediately, requiring players to pace themselves strategically; starting off small and paying close attention as their Katamari increases in size. Players must also be mindful of the hazards in each level, such as humans, large animals and confined spaces which, when collided with, will send random pieces the player rolled up flying, thus shrinking their Katamari in size. As players get the rhythm of rolling a Katamari down, the game becomes oddly satisfying. Strategically rolling a giant, structure around a level as it picks up speed and gobbles up everything in sight is oddly satisfying. At the time, there really was no other game that offered such a unique experience on any system. The music and visual aesthetic in Katamari Damacy is boldly unabashed, with a large emphasis on Japanese culture.Tracks are upbeat and vary in style. Some contain a sing-along charm of modern Japanese pop, while traditional Jazz numbers traversing back and forth between English and Japanese lyrics add a sense of sophistication to Damacy's presentation. On the wackier side of things, tunes tinged with a tad of Electro are also present in Damacy's audio offerings. The scaled-back graphics are part of Katamari's abstract charm with each level packed with an overabundance of wacky characters. Every corner in Damacy is sprinkled with randomly-inserted creatures, characters and comical items that make exploring each level all the more worthwhile. Truly, the Katamari Reroll series on Steam is a collection of video games that should be experienced. A franchise so innovative that a copy of Katamari Damacy was added to the Museum of Modern Art based on the title's importance to game design.

This would've been 10/10 if they actually retained the english dub, but its still a 9/10 remake of a 10/10 game

one of the best games ever. short and sweet. simple topic made chaotic and fun. it presents itself in a non-chalant way that comes across as chaotic. its like hey guys roll that house haha anyways roll that big thing. art style is cute, minimalistic, and fits the theme of non-chalant mischief. 10/10

It is fun, I have this on PS2. It is and can be very addicting, just rolling around and collecting items.

Bought on a whim knowing nothing about the series, and I have never been more confused or had more fun. Truly the most odd yet delightful gaming experience I have had in a long time. Soundtrack consists of banger after banger, and somehow rolling stuff up never gets old. 10/10. Runs great on the deck too!
