The feeling of playing Patapon 1especially the middle of the game onwards, is quite cramped, players will have to constantly “plow” old levels and mini-games to collect materials to upgrade rare materials, which also appear quite randomly.

In addition, the upgrade of high-end Patapon in Patapon 1 is also extremely expensive, so while collecting materials, you will have to continuously replay the hunting levels to earn “Ka-ching”.
