ROLLA is evil, fleshy, monstrous, B-movie-esque Katamari Damacy, and is out this month
ROLLA is an upcoming game inspired by Katamari Damacy that reimagines the iconic rolling-mass concept with a darker, more destructive tone. Players control a mobile, fleshy mass and roll it around to destroy everything in their path. The game has been described as “evil, monstrous, and B-movie-esque,” positioning it as a twisted take on the arcade-style gameplay of Katamari.
Unlike Katamari Damacy, which focuses on collecting and absorbing objects into a growing ball, ROLLA emphasizes destruction and chaos. The game features various per-level challenges that encourage destruction, such as demolishing radio towers and defeating enemies. This shift in focus—from collection-based gameplay to destruction-based gameplay—creates a darker aesthetic and tone.
The game maintains the arcade-style roots of its inspiration while introducing a grittier, more grotesque visual presentation. The emphasis on “fleshy” and “monstrous” descriptions suggests ROLLA opts for unsettling imagery rather than Katamari’s colorful, whimsical design. ROLLA is set to release this month, though specific platform availability is not detailed in the available excerpt.
