33 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a spiritual spin-off of the Way of the Samurai series, but rather than sticking to narrative-heavy roots, this one opts for tight gameplay loops and a roguelike core that keeps you constantly on edge.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
30 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
An exhilarating blend of rogue-lite tension and stylish samurai combat, Katana Kami is as sharp as the blades it glorifies.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
Yes, some graphical details might come off a bit low-res or flat, but the strong use of color and dynamic lighting more than make up for it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
3 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
And while the soundtrack may not be the most instantly memorable, it does an excellent job of grounding the world.
