Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.75/day in the week to Aug 3 → 6.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Katanaut is a fast-paced, Metroidvania-inspired action roguelite set aboard a massive space station falling into cosmic chaos. 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.
As Naut, you explore the corridors of this once vibrant station... or what's left of it. The deeper you descend into the station, the environments become more haunting, and the enemies less human.
Through advanced time-manipulation, you’re brought back to life whenever your bio-metrics are no longer detected. In the future where humans are able to download new abilities on demand, the station is now scattered with memory fragments from the fallen. Each one having the potential of being a lost skill or talent waiting to be unlocked.
Every run offers a new pivoted challenge with ever-changing pathways to explore, and pits you against hordes of enemies. Each ride down the station's elevators carries forward progress from the memory fragments you scavenge along your exploration.
In Katanaut, each clash of your blade echoes through the station's empty and flickering corridors, where every corner feels like is a surprise watching you... Whether you thrive in precision combat or prefer dealing with enemies from a safe distance, this is one cleanup job you won't forget.

Reviews
Fun fast paced metroidvania with cosmic horror and sci fi themes. If a faster Dead Cells that takes place on the Event Horizon sounds like your kind of thing, pick this up. I'm having a hard time playing anything else right now. 100% recommend. I feel like I stole this game getting it on sale.
Amazing hidden gem of a game, very smooth gamplay and so much content, would recomend to anyone.
Alright that was neat. Katanaut is a great little hidden gem. While limited in scale, the core gameplay, that is slashing through everything that moves is super satisfying. It has a crunchy, grotesque cosmic horror look that adds to the moody atmo, snappy controls and a nice assortment of guns and skills to build your kit. I wish it had more sauce in terms of narrative, as most gameplay sections with dialogue end early on, and some skills really ask for minor rebalancing, but this is just me nitpicking at otherwise great game.

I AFK'd with sound on for a pleasant 30min or so when I found the room with the pianist and got a rare achievement for doing so. I then returned to wrecking zombies in space. There's a lot of really cool pixel art body horror, gore going on here. Game's got fast paced combat with katanas and guns. I recommend. EZPZ recommend when it's on sale.

Смешная нарезка мутантов разными способами.
space dead cells
Как dead cells, но быстрее. По началу было сложно привыкнуть к происходящему на экране, все как-то сливаются с задним фоном и эффектами. Баланс шмоток, перков итд вызывает вопросы. Большинство вторичек наносят крайне мало dmg, я хз зачем они есть. Замедление времени - имба. Сюжет приятный. При всех спорных моментах играть супер весело и приятно.
因为说像katana zero入的游戏 但是手感差距还是太大了,打击感很奇怪 内容也比较单调,缺乏深度
Liczyłem na coś przypominającego Dead Cells, ale niestety to nie ta gra. Ogólnie nuda i mało satysfakcjonujący gameplay. Nie polecam.
