Branching Story & Upcoming DLC
Reasons Katana Zero Still Deserves Your Attention
Unlike most 2D platformers, Katana Zero actually offers many different ways to progress through its main story. Sure, they’re technically all linear, but the way you choose to go about Zero’s reactions to conversations and even his overall choices drastically changes the game.
At one point, Zero is even given the option to sacrifice himself or keep moving forward. Depending on his choice, the game will either end or continue for a few more hours.
If you choose to continue, the game’s second ending reveals that the story is to be continued, ending on a cliffhanger. Luckily, fans won’t have to wait on a sequel for the story to keep going. The developers have revealed that the game is not only getting free DLC, but that it is set to be half the size of the original.
While the prospect of getting to experience even more fun gameplay is exciting, the narrative threads this DLC is set to tie up should be enough to convince anyone who is on the fence, as it is set to answer a boatload of important questions. Who is Zero? Can he survive without the drug? What happened to The Little Girl?
The answers are sure to be engaging, and you won’t want to miss seeing them first-hand.
