Katanaut Reviews
Sep 10, 2025
Overall, Katanaut feels like a solid roguelike that delivers on its promises, but doesn't really add any new ideas to the genre. The mouse-controlled katana combat is fun and quick to pick up, the pixel art looks good, and the dialogue adds a touch of dimension. However, it lacks the innovation, strategy, and impactful upgrades to make it truly memorable. For fans of fast-paced, roguelike action, Katanaut can be entertaining for a few hours, but for those looking for a game that refreshes or surprises the genre, it all remains a bit too predictable. It's primarily a game for those who enjoy fast, fluid melee action, less so for those seeking a deep strategic challenge.
