My opinion about the game is that I loved it, I really enjoyed it from start to finish, it's very charming and unique, with a childish touch I guess, because of how the Patapons sound and the songs in general.

I don't know if I lost my gaming skills or something but this game was difficult for me, despite having such simple concepts and looking so cute, the game is difficult, more than once I found myself looking to upgrade my party or retrying it more than once to get past a boss or section, while other times it was just me running into a wall for not wanting to try other options, but hey, I guess that's part of the charm of this game, it feels satisfying when you figure out how to get past those tricky parts.

The art style I really like, it's minimalist but still the scenarios have their details and colors that give identity to each one. It's also made so that it can be played in places where there's sunlight, although you'll want to play it in a quiet place, since being a rhythm game you'll have to pay attention to the sound to be able to play minimally well.

And back to the difficulty aspect, this game is fairly easy to learn, as it only consists of pressing button combos to make your Patapons perform an action, and that's where the famous "easy to learn hard to master" comes from, because this game requires you to press the buttons with precision, as the better you do it, the easier you'll find the game in general, and once you master it, pressing each button becomes extremely satisfying. Of course, as you progress through the game, the slightest mistake you make will most likely cause you to start the level from the beginning, so you'll have to be with your pataponeska skills at the top of their best.

Conclusion
Yes, I liked the game in general, I recognize that it could have been better in some aspects, such as help or hints for the player to have a little more idea of what to do or how to do it somewhere, because in some sections I did I got stuck for a long time. But well, I didn't want to extend too much with all the above to avoid spoilers, I think this game will be more enjoyable if you discover it by yourself.

A great game, very original in terms of gameplay and you could say a hidden gem.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to play something different and unique.

No shame in struggling with some parts, Patapon's no slouch when it comes to difficulty. There's more than a few levels & bosses that took me a good few tries, especially Gate Ghoul Baban.
