Bloody Pixel Carnage Awaits in ‘Katanaut’, Available Now on Steam [Trailer]

Resurrected legendary publisher Acclaim has announced their launch line-up of upcoming games, including Voidmaw’s newly-released Metroidvania-inspired action roguelite, Katanaut. Acclaim also announced that they plan to bring the Katanaut to consoles next year.

Blending fluid combat and cosmic horror, Katanaut is set on a massive space station that went through a mysterious accident. With the station slowly spiralling out of control, and its once-human inhabitants twisted into terrors, you’re the unlucky one tasked with uncovering what is going on. That is, 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.

Experiment with your arsenal and abilities to create a strategy that matches your style, or something completely unexpected, through the game’s unique mixture of hand-crafted and procedurally generated levels. You’ll need to be quick, as playing smart and thinking on your feet can make all the difference.

And to celebrate the launch of the game, the publisher will be hosting a giveaway for a one-of-a-kind Katanaut-branded katana. Keep an eye on Acclaim’s X account and other socials for more info on the giveaway.
