Katana ZERO

何以解忧，唯有刀斩。 爽快的打斗，浪漫的剧情，衬题的音乐，以及我最钟爱的像素画风，一切的一切组合起来，成为了《武士 零》。在一个根本不合理的世界追寻现实中的种种困惑，体验相同和不同的人生。 并且只有一百兆的大小，必须五分。 唯一想说的一点就是，如果可以出一个无鼠标模式会更爽。

这游戏简直就是2D版的迈阿密热线，同样爽快，迷乱。gog版唯一的遗憾就是没有成就解锁了。

神作，虽然听说过这款游戏很优秀但实际通关还是把我震撼到了，真没想到这么小体量的游戏能如此有趣，关卡设计优秀，动作很带感，而且居然还有独特的boss站，剧情虽然没太看懂但是还是觉得好厉害，唯一的缺点是太短了，根本不够玩啊！！！

When I bought Katana Zero, I thought I was getting a really sweet and fast paced ninja action game with some story on the side. Playing the game, the action is definitely well worth it on its own, but the story is phenomenal. This game exceeded my expectations. However, that being said, I do have a gripe. The story's ending doesn't feel like the ending to a complete story, but a book that's part of a story. Several plot elements are left completely unexplored, and I find it hard to believe the main character doesn't do anything else. Now, that being said, I did look online and hear that the devs are making a large (and free) DLC. Hopefully that is the continuation of the story, because I really want to see where the story goes. If it does continue the story, I'll give the game 5 Stars. Another gripe I have is it's really short. Took me 5 hours to beat the game. It does have multiple endings, and the length lends well to replaying speedrunning (yet to try speedrun mod), but the story's quality makes the short length a real shame. This would also be solved somewhat by the DLC, though it wouldn't fix it completely. Anyways, overall, phenomenal game with great gameplay and story.

I really do love cyberpunk. I do love good soundtracks and I do love well made pixel graphics. Also I love a good, interesting and unique story and Katana Zero delivers all of these things perfectly. BUT and it really hurts me to say that, the gameplay itself is just not good. First of all, it is a bit too monotonous, which it not such a big problem in itself. Well and then there is the AI in combination with the game design, which unfortunately is really bad: the difficulty is jumping really fast from "super easy" to "almost impossible". And the AI does only make it worse: sometimes it reacts even bevore the door is open and kills you, sometimes it just waits until you kill them, sometimes it magically alives one hit kill hits and sometimes it just randomely moves in ways it hasn't done in the previous >10 tries before. Really I want to like it so hard, as the story is exactely my cup of tea but the AI in combination with the game-design just infuriates me so strong, that I cant enjoy the other parts of the game. If you can life with the AI and game-design mistakes, the game is great, if you can't like me, you should better get an other game.
