Man, what a game... It's a masterpiece. If you're yearning for a 2D, fast-paced, brutal, trial-and-error game similar to Hotline Miami, then this is it. Stunning art, insanely satisfying gameplay and an intriguing but unfinished narrative so well integrated into the gameplay that it's rare to see it done this well. (The rest is coming in a free DLC that has been in development for years now, it's Silksong all over again.) The amazing OST is just the cherry on top, I absolutely loved it. Katana Zero quickly became one of my favorite games of all time, don't sleep on it and buy it as soon as you can. 10/10, cannot wait to see how the story pans out.

Negative

It's a short 4-5 hour game. Combat was decent. The story is a snooze, not able to be skipped and probably took up 1-1.5 of the hours. Would have been better with no story and more combat variety/more combat.
