Katana Zero is a game that I am very happy to have picked up. It seamlessly blends fast-paced action with a gripping narrative and amazing visuals, letting me get attached and invested in certain characters and letting me build my hate for others within its short runtime of just around four hours. Having played it around two years ago for the first time, revisiting it after such a long time made my love and appreciation for Katana Zero only deeper and confirmed the happy memories that remained with me long after my first playthrough. The music, art style, atmosphere, game mechanics, and story, in addition to its short runtime, make Katana Zero an absolute must-play for anyone that was just slightly intrigued by any aspect of the game.
