The key art for rhythm-action game Patapon 2

Patapon 2

Patapon 2 is a sequel to the 2008 rhythm-action strategy game Patapon. The sequel sees the Patapon tribe shipwrecked after a Kraken attacks their vessel. You play as the Patapons' guardian deity, so you must guide them to safety and help them to find Earthend, the Patapon promised land.

Gameplay-wise, Patapon 2 continues the mixture of strategy and rhythm-action pioneered by its predecessor. You must learn and master a series of drumbeats, each of which has a different effect on your Patapons or the world around them. Not only that, but you'll have to arm and position your Patapons correctly if you want them to survive.

A remastered version of Patapon 2, simply titled Patapon 2 Remastered, is available for the PlayStation 4. This version adds 4K visuals.
