In my brutally honest opinion, slow-mo feels like a gimmicky mechanic shoehorned into the game to pad up the purely simple gameplay. I’ve only used the slow-mo to deflect just a single enemy in my entire playthrough, nothing more. Watching how Zero performs in replays is a treat.īut hey, you can slow down time, so you can react and deflect bullets, and that’s about it. Thankfully, restarts are limitless, only your patience is. A single hit means you’ll have to start the stage, running the gauntlet over again. That, added with the fact that you can’t get hit by anything else the enemy has up their sleeves. One run, he’s staring you down, another run, he’s looking somewhere else, and that screws up your timing and muscle memory. Sounds easy, until you realise that there’s no fixed enemy behaviour. Enemies are fixed, so you can easily predict where they come next. The main challenge in Katana Zero is to figure out a way to progress through a level without getting hit. It’s simple, but the complexity of each stage adds depth to what is an already deep game. If you’re familiar with the Castlevania, this is much like it with your standard platforming and combat in place. You can try as many times as you want, provided you haven’t raged quit, or thrown your device away. Not to mention, the theme of death as a lesson in improving your playstyle. Katana Zero sounds quite similar to a recent Shinobi game which has to deflect as its main mechanic, as well as resurrections and frustrations. Fortunately, dying does not impose any penalties or anything. The character has been treated with a time-altering drug, essentially giving him a bullet-time reaction, as well as multiple tries or resurrection. He’s an assassin tasked to kill anyone his employers tell him to. You step into the shoes of Zero, a Samurai who has forgotten his past due to a traumatic accident.
In the words of the samurai, failure is an opportunity to learn, because you’ll be failing, a lot.ĭeveloped by Askiisoft, the game puts you in a neon playground through a 2D side-scrolling action game. But this offers you to switch your approach when dealing with the stage and enemies. Just like Sekiro and Super Meat Boy, death means starting from the beginning of the stage, albeit without Dragonrot thankfully. It’s Sonic the Hedgehog but with deeper plot and character interactions. It’s Super Meat Boy but with the supernatural ability to slow down time and deflect bullets. Katana Zero is what happens when you give Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice some acid and some speed, and tons of neon. Genre:Â 2D twitch-action platformer, with a time-bending samurai and tons of death and attempts (sounds familiar…)

The good news is that Askiisoft is not adding any more content at this time it is only working on developing and polishing what it has created with the DLC.Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, macOS As far as a timeframe, there is still no date set. But even though the content will be vast, it will still be "on the house," as Askiisoft is not charging anything. In this way, the DLC is almost like Katana ZERO 1.5. Fans can expect fresh levels, more enemies and bosses, new story elements, and more.
