Picking up a new roguelike isn't that different from learning a new song on an old instrument. Find the tune, hit a sour note, try again, this time get a little bit better and a little bit farther—until you're bowling over giant monsters with an orchestra all your own.
If you're one of those weirdos who remembers the PSP like I do, you might notice a striking resemblance to Patapon, the system-exclusive rhythm RPG. Same beady eyeballs everywhere, a similarly jubilant soundtrack with lots of cheering and chanting, and that unmistakable cutesy warfare with a hand-animated look. If you're unfamiliar, Ratatan will see you order a squad of soldiers around with different musical commands, trying to keep them out of danger while working in offensive pushes for maximum damage.
Ratatan aims to be less revival and more evolution, though, taking that musical army-building action and throwing it into a roguelike context with online multiplayer. If you've ever wanted to start a marching band with your pals, now's your chance, assuming that dream involves bringing giant lobsters and lizards to their knees with your tunes.

Either way, I'm here for any rhythm game-action RPG hybrid that crosses my path, so I'm excited to dig in.
