A classic game for me. Used to play this and its sequel for literally hundreds of hours on the PSP. Now I played the remastered version on PS4 and I have to say that it still holds up well today. The music of this game will either make or break the game for you, since it's literally based on rhythm. For me it made it, having some really catchy music, especially in the mini games. Gameplay-wise, this is one of the most unique RPGs I've played. You create your characters, change your weapons, optimize and things like that. But it's rhythm based, so you have to choose the correct beats to play, which all have different effects on your army. It's seriously addictive to just grind away to get the best possible classes. One thing I like about the game is that you can actually lose your Patapons if you do not pick up the cap that they drop when they die in battle. And some bosses can kill them, cap and all. But my favourite thing about this game is definitely the aesthetics, which are also very unique. But everything feels so tied in to these aesthetics, and they make this game feel a lot more life-filled than it would have felt without it. I recommend getting a PSP just because of this game and Patapon 2!
