About the game

Katanaut is an action roguelite, inspired by both metroidvania and action-platformers. The stage is set on a massive space station that went through a mysterious accident. With the station slowly spiraling out of control, and its once-human inhabitants twisted into terrors, you’re the unlucky one tasked with uncovering what is going on... assuming you’re able to survive the station's violent halls with souls-like combat.

You’ll be armed with unlockable melee weapons, guns, and magic-like abilities while you face an evolving gauntlet of horrors, as the station warps around you. The deeper you descend into the station, the environments become more haunting, and the enemies less human.

Every step forward could be a gamble, where strategy and your quick reflexes end up being your only lifeline. Whether you’re experimenting with wild combos, or perfecting a build that matches your preferred playstyle, every death will offer a new puzzle to solve.
