Katanaut by @voidmawgames.bsky.social @katanaut.bsky.social - Metroidvania-esque roguelite that gave me lots of Dead Cells vibes. Great combat and the controls are so responsive. Unlock new abilities and weapons and fight some tough bosses.

Can I interest you in some Friday evening reading? Here's my review of @voidmawgames.bsky.social 's Katanaut a few days after everyone else's. But you can read from someone who cleared a run of the game, which other game journalists might have struggled with.

The Insight: With Katanaut, Acclaim Proves It’s On The Comeback Trail!

The unique stamina system in #Katanaut gives this #roguelite a "souls-like" feel that forces the player to be a bit more thoughtful in their approaches towards dispatching enemies. #indiegame #metroidvania @piratepr.com @voidmawgames.bsky.social

Kult-Publisher Acclaim ist zurück und #Katanaut von @voidmawgames.bsky.social ist sicher einer der interessantesten Titel im neuen Line-up. Ich habe mich mal als Cyber-Ninja Naut durch die Horden kosmischen Horrors geschlitzt und meine Eindrücke hier zusammengetragen:

polygonien.de/2025/09/kata...

Teaser zu Katanaut. Ein futuristisch anmutender Ninja steht in einer Art Labor. Der Raum ist nur schwach beleuchtet. Im Hintergrund sieht man durch Fenster das All, an den Wänden sind Blutspritzer. 2D-Pixelgrafik.

Thank you!! Admittedly the market is incredibly hard because of all these big drops happening left and right. I feel thankful that I’m even able to get the eyes that I have right now on the account of how much of a wild-wild-west it feels!
