Katana ZERO review

Exceptional

by Jon

come for the hotline miami gameplay, stay for the christopher nolan story

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

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

Fantastic everything.  it looks great, it plays great, the story is great, the game is great.

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-

quite like it

Absolute insanity and it looks really cool

9/10

Wonderful succinct puzzle action. Would love a sequel please.

This indie pixel game has more story and emotional weight (as well as more intense action platforming) than most big budget blockbusters. An absolute gem of a game that I had the pleasure of playing and I look forward to more. 

Makes you feel like a real killer
