About
Katana ZERO is a fast paced neo-noir action platformer, focusing on tight, instant-death acrobatic combat, and a dark 80's neon aesthetic. 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.
Run, sneak, walljump, grapple hook, roll, slash bullets, toss pottery, and slow down time to complete levels.
No procedural generation. No backtracking. No metroidvania gimmicks or item collection. Every level is a unique and lovingly designed challenge to overcome.
A rich story filled with unique characters, all tied into the gameplay and level design.

Katana ZERO reviews and comments
Probably the coolest game in existence.
Fast, flashy gameplay, interactible cutscenes and a fantastic OST.

«Blew my mind»
«Underrated»
Banging OST, fast punchy combat, great visuals and the ability to influence conversations in a meaningful way at any time make this a must play
«Can’t stop playing»
«Underrated»
Punchy, intense, captivating combat combined with something most games can't pull off: a truly compelling story you can get invested in. An all time favorite.
Journal Style Review:
Meh. Opening 30 mins weren’t for me. Gameplay doesn’t feel fun (yet). Story seems intriguing but too soon to tell if it pays off.
Gameplay is getting a bit more challenging and fun but only by a smudge so far. Story has kept my interest for now. It’s weird.
I still enjoy the story beats more than the gameplay. The gameplay is okay but I don’t really find it that fun. Occasionally I’ve enjoyed the challenge of planning out a good attack but there isn’t that much creativity or planning it’s mostly just trying to get the timing right. I do think the story is fun and mysterious.
The ending to the story was pretty good. I stuck with this game because of the story, not the gameplay. And I’m happy I did it. The ending was cool.
Final Score: B-
