The plot comes slowly through cutscenes, acting as welcome punctuation for the frenetic action that keeps players occupied for the majority of the time. In the cyberpunk noir setting, you play as a samurai a past soldier, and kept on a short leash as an assassin for a powerful entity. With what appears to have become the spiritual successor to the fabled Hotline Miami, Devolver Digital eschews the top-down style for a 2-dimensional side view of the action. Katana ZERO has received a wealth of positive reviews since it’s release on April 18, 2018, on both Steam and Nintendo Switch.
