Ratatan's Early Access launch has been postponed following significant player responses to its demo version. Discover fan reactions to this upcoming rhythm game and what Kickstarter backers should anticipate.
Ratatan Early Access Postponed
Substantial Demo Feedback Leads to Delay
In a July 4 Steam update, Ratatan's team announced an Early Access delay due to critical demo feedback. Originally scheduled for July 25, the release has been postponed indefinitely.
Rata Arts reported the demo gained 200,000 downloads with 1,200 Steam reviews and 2,000 feedback submissions. The developers acknowledged insufficient time for comprehensive updates before the planned launch date.
Key feedback areas include:
- Underwhelming roguelike progression and reward system
- Inconsistent Ratatan ability usage
- Lackluster visual feedback and presentation
- Need for improved game structure and pacing
While serving as a spiritual successor to Patapon under creator Hiroyuki Kotani's direction, Rata Arts clarified Ratatan aims for innovation rather than replication. "Ratatan represents an indie project forging its own path - while honoring its roots, it consciously diverges in creative vision," developers explained.
Our Game8 team observed Ratatan channels Patapon's essence while establishing its unique identity. With Kotani leading development and strong community anticipation, Ratatan demonstrates potential to both honor its predecessor and deliver fresh innovations.
