Katana ZERO Reviews

BEST game ever, i couldnt say a word at the end of the game. If youre an indie game fan you HAVE to play this

The best way to describe this game is adrenaline rush with awesome soundtracks to vibe with! It is an action game with some beautiful pixel art and soundtracks that fit the vibe. The game itself isn't long and can be completed in one sitting. It is a bit pricey considering that so I would suggest waiting for a sale. I was able to finish the game within 5 hours. The achivements are not very obvious and some of them are quite tedious. I recommend following a guide if someone is going for 100% completion. Mechanics - 9.5/10 Art/Visuals - 10/10 Sound/Music - 10/10 Gameplay - 10/10 Story - 9/10 Overall - 9.5/10

This game is amazing. I love the time slowing mechanics and it has a great story. Unfortunately pretty short and still no new content after seven years.

This is my favorite game to play on my Steam Deck. The classic pixel art along with responsive controls, a banging sound track, and puzzle like levels is a lot of fun that pairs perfectly with the device.

One of the few games I have to come back to every now and then, again and again. I've already finished it 5 times on Switch and finally decided to grab it on Steam too. If I had to pick one game to play for the rest of my life it would probably be .....Elden Ring... but Katana Zero is breathing down its neck :)

Katana ZERO is Hotline Miami in 2D with a neon-noir samurai skin. One hit means death. You enter a room, slow down time, deflect bullets, slash through goons, die, and instantly rewind. When you clear a level, the game plays it back as a real-time CCTV tape, making your run look entirely effortless. Beneath the flawless synthwave soundtrack is a gripping story about memory loss and trauma, featuring a great mechanic where you can aggressively interrupt NPCs mid-dialogue. It's relatively short and ends on a heavy cliffhanger, but it is pure, unadulterated style. Another masterpiece joins my favorites. 10/10.

You are a neo-noir samurai that uses a drug to slow down time and precognitively plan your path. One hit is death. You enter a room, deflect bullets, slow down time, die, and instantly rewind. When a level is cleared, the game plays it back as CCTV footage, making your run look effortless. The story revolves around trauma and memory loss. You navigate through government conspiracies and suppressed history to piece your identity together. It also features an amazing mechanic that allows you to aggressively interrupt NPCs mid-dialogue. This game's soundtrack is also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing. I bought this game yesterday, fell in love with it, and beat it in one sitting all in 6 hours. Seriously. Go play it. Its on sale right now.

pretty nice short game, a good story, pretty badass effects, i really like the glitches, achievements arent that terrible to get (tho i dont think ill get the last 2) unfortunately seems to end in a ''to be continued'' cliffhanger and its been 7 years lol, who knows maybe we get a sequel one day, gameplay is ok, the story is the main deal imo

Smooth and fun gameplay. Memorable art style. Short, but good for replays. Runs on my potato laptop. Choices in the game are consequential, but they affect only minor occurrences but not the overall fate of the main characters. The plot and and the dialogue intertwine to create a believable and fascinating Cyberpunk world, but don't get your hopes high for the ending because it is a cliffhanger of which the completion depends on a DLC that people have been waiting for years.

I grew up with no console or computer, so before this, I mostly just played random games on mobile, and cracked minecraft. In 2020 during the covid pandemic, I need a computer for online classes, so my dad got me an old laptop running on window 8, I think it only had around 3gb ram. I'm using it then I found a website that let you download many games for free, then somehow this game catch my eye, so I just downloaded and try it, at first it got me surprised because it ran very smoothly, I thought that potato can not even run it. At that time my english wasn't very good, and I'm not thinking too much when playing it, but somehow I understand the story, the dialogue, and what the game was trying to tell me, that was the first time I had ever experienced storytelling in a video game, also the gameplay was one of the coolest thing I've ever seen, I played it for like 2 weeks because I kept dying ( I was really bad back then) And now I finally got the chance to buy the game and play it legitimately, just finishing it, the game shorter then I remember, something similar something different, idk because I've forgot or new thing get added or I chose different route ( there's a thing that I remember, during the final conversation with the Psychiatrist, back then I made he kill himself with a gun, but this time I kill him with with a paper weight) Anyway thank for making this game, this game will always have a place in my heart, still looking forward for the sequel.
