Patapon

However, these days are long gone, and the Patapons are now a shadow of their former selves.

Take on the role of Almighty, and restore the Patapons to their former glory! Patapon is a hybrid of a rhythm game such as PaRappa the Rapper and a strategy game with unit management such as Advance Wars .

Players control 'Almighty', the Patapons' god, as they guide them in search of Earthend.

This is done with the Circle, X, Square and Triangle buttons - each button corresponds with a different type of drum beat.

By pressing different sets of four beats, the Patapons will repeat the beat, and then perform the action, such as advancing, retreating or attacking.

If the player continues to perform beats without messing up, they enter 'Fever' Mode, which makes the Patapons perform their actions stronger and faster.

By collecting assorted items, such as meat and wood, and spending Ka-ching (the game's currency) players can create new Patapon units at the Tree of Life.

These units can then be prepared for battle before the player enters a stage, to give them better armor, shields, and weapons, which will help them fight more effectively against their foes.

Patapon for PlayStation 4 is currently worth €26.54 loose, €66.35 complete in box, and €159.24 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Patapon has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Patapon, loose is €26.54 and CIB is €66.35 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Patapon is currently worth €26.54 loose, versus €25.07 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
