Katana Zero is an Indie, Cyberpunk, Neo-Noir, 2D, side-scrolling, hack and
slash, retro, platformer, action
game developed by Askiisoft and published by the legendary Devolver Digital. The
game is about a Samurai named Zero who is a war veteran and forgot all about his past but is slowly starting to remember it by each night in his dreams. He goes to his psychiatrist every day for his "medicine" which he doesn't actually know is a
war drug called Chronos which is what give Zero the ability to slow down time and reverse time on death which was given to him without him knowing the effects or his permission. He also is given a dossier with a target to assassinate. You
go through different places such as a hotel or a mansion in which you must
kill goons to get to the target and
kill them. The
game has many similarities to Hotline Miami such as the story and aesthetics but is also very different in terms of gameplay.
