Hi TheGamerOfGod2.0, thank you for your kind words! Really glad to hear that you're enjoying the gameplay and we appreciate the insight around the controls. We'll further discuss improvement plans with the team and hope you continue to have a great time completing the story!
Katana zero is a pretty good game!
Katana zero’s combat is simple and easy to understand. Enemies in this game aren’t braindead, and actually fight back, putting your skills to the test!
The maps are basic, but it’s whatever, I don’t really pay attention to that anyways. The story is pretty confusing at first, but once you reach the end, the pieces start fitting in.
What i really don't like is the addition of “chronos”, or time stop. I completely avoided using it, because it just ruined the experience. Thankfully it can be turned off once you beat the game once.
I recommend you use a controller, because the mobile controls aren’t the best.
Obviously it isn’t a 5 star game, but its better than literally everything else on mobile, so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt.

A Lot of Problems
The controls, mainly the joystick, feel terrible. There is no way to change the sensitivity of it. Half the time I’m crouching when I don’t want to, or dropping down through levels when I don’t want to do so. Jumping from wall to wall feels so bad and janky that I generally just use the attack to climb the walls instead.
The Skip Rewind toggle seems to do nothing, as I still have to watch the level every time I complete one. Or does this do something else? Not sure, as documentation is abysmal in the game.
There is also letterboxing, and the graphics are again blurry (same as Hades).
Netflix used to be killing it. Their last few apps though have been really awful IMHO. I use Netflix mainly for their video streaming, so I guess these mostly-terrible games are just a bonus anyways (for me, at least).

Great except for some stealth mechanics
But for part of the story you can either kill a group of policemen and let them live, to let them live you have to sneak by. The police have weird proximity senses and most importantly on the mobile controls you have to switch from walking crouch to regular crouch, which requires you to stand up as usually you!d hold a button to enable the crouch walk. Which makes a section of the game near impossible without a controller. Still probably the BEST mobile game I’ve ever played. (Also it would be nice to have hard mode without having to use speedrunner mode)
