What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
So from a story perspective gameplay is not about actual fighting, but about planning all your moves in advance and executing them in the background.

Katana ZERO is an exceptionally well made side-scrolling action game with an extremely compelling, deep story and a masterfully composed synth soundtrack.
The lighting, neon color palette, fluid animation, and razor sharp movement make the entire game feels a playable cyberpunk action movie.
This is my favorite game to play on my Steam Deck.
