![]() ![]() ![]() What also isn't slow, is the soundtrack, as the music is just as fast paced as the gameplay itself There definitely is no lack of characters in this game, there's a bunch of story characters and main characters that all have their own personalities that seems to fit their sprite and character, the character development feels like it comes at a perfect pace, where it isn't rushed, but isn't that slow either. Now, this kind of falls under the same area the Story review falls under, but I felt it was important to go and write this separately ![]() What's also brand new, is this bad Segway into the next part, the characters And trust me, this game is definitely something brand new. This game is for those who want a challenge and want to try something brand new. If you're looking for a casual game to play once in awhile to let loose, let me make this very clear, this is NOT the game for you. The gameplay is fast paced, and will make you either scream in excruciating pain because you can't finish a certain part of the game, or make you scream in excitement because you just completed the part you were stuck on for the last hour. Some of the best gameplay I've seen with 2D games like this. The story is emotional and intriguing, it will leave you hooked to where you can't just close the game, not until you figure out what's going on in the game, and when you do, you want to find out what happens next, like a really good TV show or anime.īut unlike a good TV show or anime, there's gameplay. The story is incredible, it plays perfectly with the art style as I stated above, there's countless dialogue options which leave room for you to make your own little decisions, as most of the dialogue isn't crucial to the story. This game is definitely not for the faint of heart. However, with a Xbox controller, the game plays much smoother and is a lot easier to play, I'd really recommend an Xbox controller for itĪnd don't let the cutesy, adorable sprite trick you, though. The controls are one of my largest gripes, with the PC keyboard and mouse controls, it's hard and annoying to play, making it a larger leaning curve, slowing you down immensely for the start of the game. One of the sprites look cutesy and adorable, the rest of the sprites look badass and cool, but what they all have in common, is that they all are very impressive.Īll of the sprites have a bunch of animation to them, making it feel natural when they move and perform actions. The animations are shockingly smooth for a pixelated game, and it all just fits into place. It may look boring to some, but trust me, it's far from it. The art style is perfect for a game like this, it fits the aesthetic perfectly, feeling as if this game couldn't be made any other way. I'm a huge fan of the pixelated art style, and this game pulls it off perfectly. The art style, simply put, is wonderful and pleasing to the eyes, it's simple, yet it's so nice looking. Now, during my first experience with Katana Zero, I realized this game was similar to Hotline Miami in a few different ways, the pixel art style, the developers, and the story.Īnd all of this is a good thing for a bunch of reasons You play as Zero, a professional killing machine in a neo-noir setting with plenty of different people to kill and surfaces to climb and parkour on The review will consist of the following: Hello and welcome to my first ever game review, I have just finished Katana Zero, and plan to replay it again soonīut, due to the fact I had so much fun with my first playthrough, I decided to write a review on it from what I know you may have better luck researching the Steam or GOG forums via the links above. For product concerns or questions regarding game performance, etc. This is an unofficial, fan-created subreddit for Katana ZERO. Katana ZERO Wiki (No longer extremely WIP) A branching interrupt-based dialogue system, allowing players to insult everyone and throw away the story the devs worked so hard on.A rich story filled with unique characters, all tied into the gameplay and level design.Every level is a unique and lovingly designed challenge to overcome. No metroidvania gimmicks or item collection. Every cool thing you could possibly want to do - the game lets you. Run, sneak, walljump, roll, slash bullets, toss pottery, and slow down time to complete levels.Aided with your trusty katana, the time manipulation drug Chronos and the rest of your assassin's arsenal, fight your way through a fractured city, and take back what's rightfully yours. Katana ZERO is a fast paced neo-noir action platformer, focusing on tight, instant-death acrobatic combat, and a dark 80's neon aesthetic. ![]()
