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.

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.
Temu version of dead cells
Juego bastante entretenido con su estilo soulslike con terror cosmico, buenisimo, gracias.
