Rocket Company

Rocket Company at a Glance

Rocket Company is a Japanese publisher and developer that operated from 2004 to 2016. The company released 34 titles on PlayPile, with 31 credited as a publisher and 21 as a developer. Their output was heavier in the 2010s, where they launched 19 games compared to just 14 in the 2000s. Despite this activity, their reputation for quality is modest based on available data. Only one title has received a rating, and it sits at an average of 60 out of 100. This single score falls into the "good" category, meaning there are no great titles from them in the database, nor are there any mixed or poor reviews to worry about. Their highest-rated game is Crash City Mayhem, which also holds that 60/100 score and was released in 2013. The company had a strong focus on Nintendo handheld systems. Fifteen of their games appeared on the Nintendo 3DS, while 13 were made for the Nintendo DS. They also released four titles for the Game Boy Advance and one for the Wii. In terms of gameplay types, Role-playing games were their main genre with 13 entries. They also produced five simulators, four adventure games, and four music titles. Other genres included sport, puzzle, racing, pinball, and fighting, each appearing just once or twice in their catalog. Rocket Company is best known for working on the Medarot series. Their final years saw a push toward this franchise with multiple releases in 2015 and 2016. These included Medarot 9 versions in December 2015, followed by Medarot Girls Mission titles in March 2016. The last game listed is Pom Pom Purin: Koro-koro Daibouken from April 2016. This output suggests a reliance on established intellectual property as they approached their closing date. Their catalog size is relatively small for a company active for over a decade, and the lack of higher-rated titles indicates they did not achieve widespread critical acclaim during their run.
