I thought I would have loved this because it does seem like my type of game. On PS4 it is labelled the remastered version however nothing was really "remastered" except a resolution bump. With it being a great rhythm game, you'd think they they would remaster at least the audio, but no it still sounds the same as the PSP version. The cutscenes are in, what seems like, 240p and at 1080p on the base PS4 it doesn't look great.
The gameplay for the first quarter was really fun and I was addicted to play more. However, I think it got old pretty fast. For the rest of what I played I'm just hitting square, square, square, circle (makes the army move), and then circle, circle, square, circle (makes them attack). When you start to lose battles you need to go and grind hunting to get more money (which you spend on more troops). You then repeat this process and slowly push your way through each boss.
In a way I understand why people call this series their favourite, it's very unique and I bet is great to pull out on a PSP while on a lunch break. So maybe the game isn't the best for long sessions, but more aimed at short sessions. That way it still stays fresh.
Really the fans of the series deserved a much better remaster, I only hope Patapon 2 got better. treatment.
