Refreshed version of Catamari Damacy, an unusual logic game from Namco (later known as Bandai Namco) in 2004. The task of players is to roll the ball and increase its weight by collecting more objects.
Katamari Damacy Reroll is a remastered version of Kamatamir Damacy, an original combination of a logic and action game from 2004 developed by Namco studio (a year later transformed into Bandai Namco as a result of a merger with Bandai). The original game started its own series and the main character became one of the company's smaller mascots.
The story of Katamari Damacy Reroll begins when the King of All Cosmos accidentally removed all the stars. To repair the damage caused by him, the King sends his son (simply known as the Prince) to Earth to collect the materials needed to rebuild the destroyed astral bodies.
Katamari Damacy Reroll doesn't change the gameplay model known from the original title. During the game, we direct the Prince rolling the titular Katamari - a magical mass, to which smaller objects stick. Each item collected increases the size and weight of the Katamari, so that larger and larger items stick to it, from pins, sweets, etc., to mountains and clouds. But be careful, because collisions at a higher speed may cause us to lose some of the objects collected, and the bigger the Katamari, the harder it is to control it. Over time, we will unlock new difficulties and new types of missions.
In addition to the single-player mode, Katamari Damacy Reroll offers the option to compete with friends in split screen mode. Players find themselves in a small arena as separate characters and try to collect as many objects as possible.
Katamari Damacy Reroll's three-dimensional visual setting is maintained in a characteristic style, slightly angular and strongly cartoon-like. The authors have limited themselves to adding higher quality textures and improving the performance of the game. In addition, the Nintendo Switch version allows the use of Joy-Cons as motion controllers.

Easy Allies: 8 / 10 by Ben Moore
Katamari Damacy rolls back onto the scene and proves why it's such a classic.
PC Gamer: 85 / 100 by Philippa Warr
Wonderfully weird and inventive. Katamari Damacy isn't perfect, but it holds its own impressively well 14 years on.
PlayStation Universe: 9 / 10 by Neil Bolt
Even after 16 years, there's nothing quite as absurdly wonderful as Katamari Damacy, and this remastered Reroll edition brings it to a whole new audience. Chock full of fun and silliness, blessed with a hypnotically soothing gameplay loop, and a soundtrack so joyously daffy it leaves you beaming ear-to-ear, Katamari Damacy deserves a successful PS4 Reroll.
