Been a couple hours since I finished this game. I think the game was fun, I loved clearing stages despite failing repeatedly, getting it right felt really satisfying and the slow-motion feature was super interesting to utilize. There's cool ways to clear the stages and isn't only limited to one which I found myself doing when I failed a stage after almost succeeding. I also appreciate the neo-noir style and soundtrack which compliment each other really well. I do feel though that the soundtrack does feel repetitive. So some of the tracks are not really that memorable, regardless they do fit the game nicely. As for the narrative, I'm not really that sold. I think the concept is there and it is engaging sometimes, some of the moments are interesting but it doesn't really go anywhere. I didn't feel all that invested into what was happening and preferred just clearing levels with its fast paced style. Only reason this game doesn't get a higher rating is because it doesn't really do anything special to me. It was fun and that's about it. I feel like the game didn't really excel at anything, it also felt very short. After finishing a game, I thought to myself "that's it?". I only liked the final boss and I wish the bosses were more interesting and didn't have only two moves (apart from the last one). Katana zero does almost everything right but nothing special. It follows a safe route in my opinion and if you found that special about it then I am happy for you!
