![]() The katamaris will light up the night sky to other worlds who are blissfully unaware of the death and destruction that made them. A night of drinking destroyed the Cosmos, but harvesting lifeforms and objects from earth will restore it. Essentially doing it with forced labor only makes a greater embodiment of humanity’s darker tendencies. I suppose that is a human thing for the King to do: wipe out of the civilization and life of those he considers beneath him to conveniently cover up his own reckless behavior. One might say this is an act of environmental clean up by removing buildings, automobiles and other man-made things from planet and turning them into space garbage, but any flora and fauna that could benefit from such things are also going into space, which is an unkind environment for anything living. ![]() What the King is tasking the Prince with is actually horrific, as the Prince is not only rolling up little bits of debris that we’d sweep out from behind the fridge but actual living animals and people, along with buildings and cars when the katamari starts to get big. In order to fix the problem, his solution is to send the Prince to Earth and rolling up everything he can into a katamari to launch into space to replace whatever star or other celestial body his drunk escapades destroyed. ![]() Instead he passes to the buck to his pint-sized, five centimeter tall son the Prince. The King clearly recognizes his party hard attitude led to the destruction of the solar system, but the King of All Cosmos can’t be bothered with trivialities such as fixing the universe he destroyed himself. But as we soon learn he has even more in common with hippies and their love of mind-altering substances. He seems like a benevolent ruler, one who exists in harmony with nature and enjoys the simpler pleasures of life. He floats off, up into the sky only to return strumming an acoustic guitar as the animals are all singing in unison. The introduction to the King is when the intro music is loading up and his ridiculous visage and headdress appears. The King of All Cosmos is one of the all time great video game characters and he just doesn’t get the attention his highness deserves. The royal patriarch is hungover and realizes what he did, so he sends his pint-sized son to repair all the damage his drunken hijinks had wrought by rolling up whatever he can find on Earth to send up into outer space. The glorious King of All Cosmos goes on a bender and destroys the solar system, as is prone to happen during such events. Most information about Katamari Damacy can be found in the links listed above to our review and retrospective Member feature, but for those looking for the super short version of what this game is about here you go. Katamari Damacy Reroll is now available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and while it doesn’t offer anything new besides achievement and trophy support, it’s still a game that’s worth checking out. This is something the team must have been aware of as the original was rerolled onto Nintendo Switch a couple years ago and now again for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, right as those consoles are about to rolled up into the sunset to make way for their next-gen successors. ![]() It got a few sequels that were enjoyable in their own right but none of them were able to top the bizarre magic of the first game. Katamari Damacy originally rolled out for the PlayStation 2 back in 2004. ![]()
