    One of the best indie games

    This game is a masterpiece. The story is amazing, the gameplay is better. My words cannot describe this game, buy it right now!

    beautiful

    Katana Zero is one of the best games I have played in my entire life, with frenetic and strategic gameplay along with one of the best stories I have ever seen, making it one of my favorite games above Bioshok Infinite but definitely below Arkham Knight. Recommended for fans of games like Hotline Miami 1 and 2 or fans of criminal and gang stories, the game is short, and as of the date I write this, 16/09/2024, the DLC has not yet been released, but you will still find it. I recommend it 100 times. Thank you very much for reading.

    This is just for filling. Okay, :) bye.

    Play it again and again

    The depth, replay-ability, and overarching feel of the game is insane. The second I saw this at E3 i knew I would have to get it. I find that it's under publicized and under played but well worth the 12$ (it's on sale rn)

    this is one of the best indie games and one of the best games ever made

    This game is a masterpiece. The visuals are stunning and the music sends you into a different universe. The story is so intricate and well crafted and it keeps you wanting more. The game is short but yet the characters are real and layered with great development, with many scenes and moments messing with your heart and giving you deep emotional attachment to the characters. The gameplay is so fun and is very addicting with great level design and lovely atmosphere. The fast pacing keeps you entertained and it never feels bland or sluggish and adds unique elements to keep you playing. If you like beautiful games with amazing story and incredibly enticing gameplay, this is the game for you. It may not impact you as much as it impacted me, but it is absolutely a game worth playing. 10/10.
