#KATANA ZERO PHYSICAL FULL#
Even though it’s full of combat, each room you enter is like a miniature puzzle, and it’s up to you to solve it while ensuring your survival. In fact, the entire game encourages careful consideration. In other words, the time control is a wonderful mechanic, but it is one that forces you to use it sparingly and think strategically. Oh and you have a meter that controls how long you can slow time, and once it’s depleted, it takes a while to cool down until you can use it again. For another, you don’t get any real protection, and if a slow moving bullet hits you, you’ll die all the same. For one thing, you also go slower when using this skill. While that does give you a distinct advantage, it’s not an unfair one.
More useful is how you can slow things down to an utter crawl. Thanks to your time manipulation, you can literally rewind the clock when you die, and you’ll die a lot. This is not only handy, it’s necessary for survival, since one hit and you’re toast.
For reasons I won’t get into, your character is able to manipulate time. Speaking of time, that brings us to the game’s unique combat twist.
It also quickly becomes a game where you can’t even trust your own eyes, as reality becomes twisted and time itself seems to turn against you. Cause this is a game that constantly made me doubt the trustworthiness of the narrators and characters. If that all sounds a little sketchy, that’s good. You’re given mission dossiers by a dour therapist who checks your state of mind after missions, and also gives you a handy booster shot. Your past is something of a blur, but you have a medal of honor from a bloody war that occurred a few years back. You play a silent assassin who lives in New Mecca whom the public knows as The Dragon. The lasting appeal of this game is the unique story, and the way it is told. Sure, the violence is there and it’s a lot of fun, but that’s almost just the window dressing. But what I never could have deduced was how much lore sets the stage for the story. I would have been perfectly fine with that. To see why I feel that way, just keep on reading.Īfter watching the Nintendo Direct trailer for Katana ZERO, all I really expected was an uber-violent action game. This is a dark, edgy and mysterious game, and one I’m happy I had the chance to cover. Going into the game, all I really expected was a flashy and violent game, but instead Askiisoft (the team behind Tower of Heaven and OverPowered) brought their A effort. But for the sake of those who have yet to play this indie gem, I decided to hold myself back as much as humanly possible. The game was so brooding, engaging and mysterious that I wanted to lay it all on the table and psychoanalyze every juicy detail. It took all of my significant willpower not to litter this review of Katana ZERO with story spoilers. Recent titles that have been released under the company include the Monkey Island Anthology Collection, the Shantae Collection (including the first title dating back to the Gameboy Color), Blaster Master Zero and Blaster Master Zero 2, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and more.M for Mature 17+ – Blood and Gore, Strong Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Drugs, Violence It’s wonderful to see how successful Limited Run Games has been in this regard as they hit such a huge sales milestone.
