KATANA ZERO REVIEW ROUNDUP

Every once in a while there will be a new Indie game that will hit the scene and wow us with great visuals and/or amazing gameplay despite its development budget. For this, we are always excited when a new fun looking indie game pops hoping that while playing you are having too much fun to stop and think that this game was made with by a small team. This explains our hype for Katana Zero, a stylish neo-noir, action-platformer featuring breakneck action. Now, after just roughly one month since its first reveal the game is already here but, does it deserve the hype? Here's what critics had to say:

IGN 8.7/10
'Katana Zero’s time-bending samurai action is the star of the show here, but its unique presentation and entertaining dialogue go a long way in supporting a plot that suffers from feeling like it’s saving its best ideas for a sequel.'

The Indie Game Website 8/10
'Katana Zero feels at once derivative and remarkable. Cool blade-slicing combat is elevated by effortless style and a narrative uncharacteristically strong for its genre. You may have seen it all before, but never quite like this.'

GAMEINFORMER 7.8/10
'When Katana Zero is in top form, it is a satisfying and stylish action/puzzle hybrid that rewards your patience and persistence. But the longer you play, the more the effect diminishes.'

POLYGON
'But for all its narrative grimness and all of its slimy settings and all of its repetition, I enjoy Katana Zero’s flair. Dark clubs blink with neon color, pulsing music echoes through each scenario, and characters move with a beautiful fluidity.'

GAMESPOT 8/10
'Katana Zero is bloody and brutal, but it's also a heartfelt tale that you shouldn't overlook lightly.'
