The Consensus: Is It Worth Playing?

Katanaut is a fast-paced action roguelite set aboard a deteriorating space station, where players use souls-like hack-and-slash combat to fight through twisted enemies and unlock abilities from scattered memory fragments. The game features procedurally changing pathways and blends cyberpunk and Lovecraftian cosmic horror aesthetics in 2D pixel-art.

This is a fantastic rogue light. This is a game about momentum, speed, elegance, skill. It's a game that rewards you with almost a cinematic dance of death once you learn the inputs and all the timings.
