Another one to watch in 2016
Hot damn,Katana Zero.
I’m only now hearing about the snappy neo-noir action-platformer from Aski (Tower of Heaven,Pause Ahead) despite an apparent showing at PAX Prime in September. Whoops! This more recent teaser made its way to our tips line today, and I am glad that it did.
It looks super cool when played expertly — you’re a bullet-deflecting assassin, so it should! — and I’m anticipating the challenge of getting to that point, skill-wise. “Late 2016,” here we come.
With so many games trying to be so many things, it’s refreshing to hear whatKatana Zeroisn’t doing: “No procedural generation. No backtracking. No metroidvania gimmicks or item collection. Every level is a unique and lovingly designed challenge to overcome.”
