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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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
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.
Amazing hidden gem of a game, very smooth gamplay and so much content, would recomend to anyone.

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.
игра классная, но ♥♥♥♥ в рот я эту канализацию
Fantastic Aesthetic, Awesome space-horror setting, zero bugs, fast, responsive and enjoyable gameplay-loop AND the soundtrack slaps. I usually dont play many rogulikes, but this one makes me feel like I should. Only thing I would have liked to see more of were the story scenes, since the stuff thats there seems really interesting, tho wanting to play more of the game is hardly a negative. Also learning that this was made by a solo-dev kinda blew my mind, so I'd say giving this a shot is totally worth it.
Fun game, very high difficulty curve, but thats kinda like with all roguelikes, you have an initial bump that opens up alot options to build and make it easter. Very fluid combat, alot of abilities and what not after you down a couple bosses, or get your first clear. You can also run your first time in GODMODE just to get the options to up open for you for builds, if the difficulty is still too high.
spending 30 minutes injecting random ass stuff to one shot a boss was never so satisfying
Hack and slash sci-fi gorelike murder zombies and destroy otherworldly entities!
Прелестный рогалик. очень динамичный. Крайне. Видно. что разрабы вдохновлялись Dead Cells и многое [strike] спиз.. [/strike] переняли)0)) Но тут все же другой опыт (с определенными пухами просто жмешь атаку без остановки и все умирает само :D), не просто под копирку, хотя очень уж похоже. В общем и целом. если хочется опыта мертвых клеток в космосе - самое то. Пока что 5 часов пролетели крайне незаметно. ну и 1 [strike] клетка [/strike] варп получен. Если подытожить. то крайне рекомендую! P.S. Аааа. я совсем забыл!! Тут есть КОТ!!! И его можно тискать! Ну с таким уж точно 10 космических кисок из 10.
I was shocked by how solid this game is, and I love the soundtrack. You can tell the developer cared about quality and made an effort.
