Katana Robo: RTA Reviews

I cannot recommend this game. The beginning is just a modified version of Only Up with mechs and swords. THe controls are so bad that even the developer knew so added in checkpoints. Got stuck (glitched) many times which made me lose progress. All the enemies are easy and pretty much fodder. That is until the last person in which they decided to become some awful Sekiro/Dark Souls type boss on MAXIMUM DIFFICULTY. The issue is you never use your weapons really in the first hour and a half then you are playing against something with a plateau of a learning curve. You are given like a push bike and then suddenly you are supposed to go downhill mountain biking on a trail that you have to sign a waiver to go down. The game is janky and could have been fun but the last boss even though I bet it after like 15 minutes. SUCKS. Again, CANNOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!! Before the last boss I could have said recommend with many caveats but the boss shows that the developer really needs to develop their skills.

on the fence about this game...i really enjoyed the music, the world was cool, the platforming was fun but the biggest issue i'd have to say is how floaty and stiff the robo is. it's manageable once you get the hang of it, but that's definitely what's holding this game back from potentially more buyers if i am being honest. it's short, cheap and for what it is it's decent, which is why im giving it a thumbs up. however, beware that you will need to adjust to the character movement, otherwise i really did enjoy the platforming and music for a good price.

Im quick to post this review bc there are hardly any, and it's on sale now. I've played for 10 minutes and it's already the most refreshing action game in years. You will see my hours grow. Makes me sad they delisted Ninja Blade, my sweet friends. -It's relaxing enough to chill out, enemies don't seem to kill you but poor platforming will. However it's intense enough if you want it, as you are gonna want to try for speedruns. -Superbly honed controls with easy to execute maneuvers and varied combat & platforming style types. Highly recommended and it runs great on Steam Deck as an FYI. One of the most satisfying mech games out there imo - just feels fun to play.

6/10 This game gets better the more you play. pros: - They got banger music - Shit got REAL good after you got your upgrade - Robots - Good final battle - Some part of the game have satisfying movement sequence cons: (now this is the real part) - Banger music doesn't go well with the game as this game doesnt really have fast pace movement. even if you go fast, once you go bump into a platform with slight elevation difference, you will fuck your speed - Rails doesnt have any stickiness. It is awkward to jump into the rail - Character feels floaty and jump is not that high - Slopes is too slippery - Battle is meaningless, just a gimmick. REAL battle is only at the final boss You might want this game if you're into Only Up and might want something different as this is just Only Up with steroid ps: i only buy this game since dev say this is a 'mechiro' and i expected sekiro
