Great and intensive gameplay, awesome music, nice story, which is also attached to game mechanics. Katana ZERO is one of best games you can play right now.
In it's core, Masquerada is an adventure gameRPG elements - skill progression, party and real time with pause combat. These elements are very simple, but they do their job, and that's enough. It's not Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny, or Divinity: Original Sin - and you shouldn't expect similar level of ruleset and mechanics. Graphics are nice - it's not a AAA title after all, but the art style is nice and resembles The Banner Saga - and music is great. There are at least few tracks that will stick with you for quite some time after you finish your session. But, where Masquerada excels, is story and characters - and it's the very reason why you should get and play this game. I could name at least few companies that are making RPG games, and should take a closer look at Masquerada to learn what they're doing wrong. World is full of interesting lore, characters are interesting (and very well voice-acted), each have their own story and motivations, and the story will get you hooked until the very end.
