Katana ZERO — Steam Gift

About the game

Katana ZERO is a neon-noir action game where you're a katana-wielding samurai who can slow down time. One hit kills you or your enemies, so you replay every room in your head like a film director before storming in and shredding everyone in seconds. You get the full game as a Steam gift — our bot sends it to you as a friend.

Once the gift is delivered it cannot be refunded. If Steam rejects the gift due to region mismatch, the full amount is returned to your site balance.
Available items are processed automatically. Any issues will be resolved starting from 9:00 MSK.

Your Steam account region must match the gift region, and you must not already own Katana ZERO.

FAQ

Katana ZERO — a neon slasher where death takes one hit

Katana ZERO is an action platformer by indie studio Askiisoft, released on April 18, 2019, under publisher Devolver Digital. You play a samurai codenamed Dragon: a katana, a coat, and the power to slow time until bullets hang in the air. There are no health bars here — one clean strike kills any enemy, but a single hit also kills you. So every room becomes a lethal puzzle: you rush in, die, rewind, try again — and in the end you pull off one flawless run where a dozen foes drop in seconds to a drum-and-bass soundtrack.

What you get

This is the full base version of Katana ZERO, delivered as a Steam Gift through our supplier's bot. After payment the bot adds itself to your friends list via your invite link, sends the gift, and leaves once delivery is done. You don't need to accept the friend request manually, and Steam Guard isn't required to receive the gift. All you do is hit “Accept Gift” — and the game lands in your Steam library for good, just like a normal purchase.

Why the gameplay hooks you

Katana ZERO isn't about button-mashing enemies — it's about directing the fight. Slowing time, deflecting bullets back with your katana, rolls, thrown objects and dodges all combine into short but tense encounters. The story unfolds through sessions with a psychiatrist where you can cut off your own dialogue, while the drug “chronos” and the hero's memory gaps keep the mystery alive to the very end. Visually it's lush pixel art, neon, and the grime of a noir metropolis, and the music alone is a reason players keep coming back.

Region and gift conditions

The gift is region-specific: your Steam account region must match the gift region, or Steam simply won't let you accept it. The second key condition is that Katana ZERO must not already be in your library: Steam doesn't allow accepting a gift for a game you already own. With both conditions met, delivery is smooth and usually takes a couple of minutes. Your profile settings must also allow friend requests — otherwise the bot can't reach you.

About the free DLC

Askiisoft announced a free story expansion (a second chapter) with new mechanics, enemies and story a long time ago. It hasn't launched yet, but the developers confirm it will be free for everyone who owns the game. So by buying the base version now, you'll automatically get the expansion when it releases — no extra purchase needed.

Steam Deck and low-end hardware

The game is very lightweight: it runs great on old laptops and handhelds. On Steam Deck, Katana ZERO plays beautifully via Proton, the frame rate is stable, and the controls map nicely to sticks and buttons. There's no native Linux build, but running it through the compatibility layer causes no trouble.

Story and presentation

Katana ZERO's story isn't a backdrop for the fights — it's a full noir thriller told non-linearly. You take assassination contracts from a mysterious handler, visit a psychiatrist between missions, take a drug called “chronos,” and slowly realize something is deeply wrong with your memory and your past. The dialogue is interactive: you can cut people off, pick brash or restrained lines, and it shapes the scenes. The ending deliberately leaves questions open — which is exactly why the community still debates interpretations and waits for a sequel.

Length and replayability

The main campaign runs roughly 4–6 hours, but the game is built around replaying: death is instant, and you redo rooms over and over, polishing the perfect route. There's a Speedrun mode with timers, mini-challenges, and the pull of nailing a flawless no-hit run — this carries Katana ZERO well beyond its story. For players who love mastering bosses and replaying for style, there's noticeably more here than the campaign length suggests, and the tight, score-chasing loop keeps pulling you back for one more run.

If the style clicks with you

If you love fast, stylish and merciless action, check out Hotline Miami with its one-hit firefights and synthwave, Dead Cells for a roguelike rush with the same sense of speed, and Hyper Light Drifter for pixel action with a similar mood. They're all in our catalog too.
