The Katamari Damacy Series Dance Dance Remixes DLC is out now with five remixed tracks.
Final Weapon reviewed Once Upon a KATAMARI and gave it a 4/5 score, noting that the game is “a strong return to the series that every fan should experience. Everything that made the originals great is still here, along with a few new additions. Not all of them land perfectly, but none take away from the fun. While it’s on the shorter side, the game’s replayability and incredible soundtrack keep me coming back for more.”
