Katana Zero is a lightning fast samurai action game by little known developer Askiisoft that promises to deliver a hugely entertaining 2D gameplay experience resembling something like Ninja Gaiden meets Hotline Miami; a combination of merciless difficulty and high-score chasing arcade style gameplay.

Rather like Hotline Miami, Katana Zero oozes 80s charm, its retro neon aesthetic accentuated by a funky synth sound track, VHS security footage (acting as the game’s cameras), and flamboyant dialogue. It also features a rhythmic and elegant combat system, emphasizing carefully timed combo sequences via its matrix-like bullet slow down mechanics. This is a game that encourages precision, rewarding surgical combos with an addictive point scoring system.
