▍We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie Gameplay
While retaining the classic gameplay mechanics of rolling up objects to grow the Katamari, We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie sees the Prince fulfilling requests from fans, making their dreams come true.
By sheer accident, the King of All Cosmos destroyed all the stars and celestial bodies in the universe, save for Earth itself. Sending his son, the Prince, down to Earth, he ordered him to create a huge magical ball known only as a Katamari. Eventually, the many Katamari he created were returned to the heavens, restoring the beauty of the constellations.
Seeing their night sky restored, people all over the world were grateful to the King. Keen not to disappoint his new fans, the King of All Cosmos has now sent his progeny down again, this time tasked with fulfilling the wishes of the people.
The remastered version features enhanced graphics and five new challenges, allowing players to control the King of All Cosmos during his childhood. The game also introduces an Eternal Mode, where players can roll the Katamari continuously without worrying about time, and a new camera mode that allows for selfies.
