At first glance at the screenshots of Katana zero, you might think that the latest project from Askiisoft is a dynamic platformer with pixel graphics. However, in reality it turns out that the game has something to offer and without “hurricane” gameplay. For example, Katana zero stands out for an interesting story. Although the dynamic gameplay in the platform is also present.
Initially, Katana zero does not surprise with its plot. It all comes down to the fact that the main character just performs tasks to eliminate “goals.” However, the story quickly turns into different small details and unexpected twists.
Separately, it is worth noting that the developers even built into their game some elements of RPG. In particular, they added a system of dialogues. And unlike most games in Katana zero, users will be able not only to read the replicas of the characters, but also to influence the dialogue a little. For example, you can interrupt the interlocutor or abruptly complete communication – such options are not often even in role-playing games.
As for the gameplay, everything is quite standard. In order to get to the final goal of the task, the main character needs to go through several large rooms, simultaneously clearing them from all opponents. There is no great variety of weapons in Katana zero. In fact, in the arsenal of the main character there is only katana, which kills most enemies with a single blow. However, this does not apply to bosses – they will have to “jump.”
By the way, the hero himself is not too well tolerated blows of opponents. It is for this reason that you need to actively use the skills of the main character: rolls, slowing down time and the ability to repel bullets with the help of katana. Cleverly combining these capabilities, as well as based on the “geography” levels to fight opponents can not only effectively, but also quite spectacularly.
To sum up, we can say that at the moment Katana zero is one of the most interesting action-platformers released since the beginning of this year. The developers managed to strike a balance between the dynamic gameplay and the interesting plot, complementing everything with pleasant graphics and suitable music.
