While it's become a bit cliché to compare indie titles to the 2012 smash-hit 'Hotline Miami,' 'Katana Zero' shows clear inspiration: both games have instant-death combat, an 80s-centric style, and an unreliable narrator. Players make use of The Dragon's time-control abilities to create perfectly planned runs of each stage, eliminating every opponent without getting hit.Ĭreated by indie developer Askiisoft and published by Devolver Digital, 'Katana Zero' is a part of Nintendo's 'Nindies' lineup of independent games that was teased earlier this year. Luckily, The Dragon can slow down time for brief periods, allowing him to dodge enemy attacks, deflect bullets, and navigate obstacles. The gameplay is fast, violent, and challenging The Dragon can kill nearly all of his enemies with a single blow, but he dies in one hit, too.
