Replayability
Reasons Katana Zero Still Deserves Your Attention
On the surface, it may not seem like this side-scrolling platformer would offer too much in the way of replayability, as you’ll always play the same levels throughout its linear main story. Thanks to the recent addition of the Hard and Speedrun modes, though, that is no longer an issue.
As each name suggests, Hard Mode and Speedrun Mode offer two different experiences to apply to a playthrough of Katana Zero.
Hard Mode makes for a more complex version of the game, adding in more enemies, traps, and new enemy types that are sure to challenge even the best players. Speedrun Mode allows players to get straight to the action, skipping cutscenes and dialogue to focus solely on making it through the game as fast as possible while beating the best times.
These added gameplay variances make for a fun and addicting new way to play the game outside of just finishing the main campaign.
