It is what makes success beating that much sweeter when you’ve taken out your last target and the recording of your character doing what you finally pulled off at the end of each room. It doesn’t take long for you to quickly learn that you’re going to die so much as you progress through the game, you’ll likely forget what success feels like. Take one hit, you die, and the room you’re in resets. Armed with only a katana and the occasional throwable item, it is up to you to make your way through a series of rooms expertly dispatching enemies left and right, painting the walls with their blood. The game is a fantastic opera of blood and carnage where the hero can use whatever he has at his disposal to get the job done. Katana ZERO wastes no time introducing you to its difficulty from the first moment you start the game. I don’t particularly enjoy side-scrolling games very much, but there was something about Katana ZERO that had me very, very hooked. It’s an incredibly bloody game with an enthralling story accompanied by a phenomenal soundtrack to keep you moving through the game’s incredibly challenging levels. When I discovered that it was on Xbox Game Pass, I decided it was time to finally sit down and dedicate the time to beat it because I actually enjoyed what I had played on my Switch, and boy am I glad that I did.įor those of you who may not know what it is, Katana ZERO is a side-scrolling action game about a mysterious warrior with strange time-bending powers who goes around murdering drug dealing thugs with a katana. I have no idea why that is, but that’s beside the point. It’s hard for me to sit down and play games unless it’s a game that is exclusive to the system.

I originally purchased the game on my Nintendo Switch, but I have this weird relationship with my Switch. Today, I want to talk about Katana ZERO and how it’s actually a masterpiece.
