Under pågående GDC fick vi chansen att prata med Justin Stander, project lead hos Askiisoft, om vad som gör den samurajspäckade 80-talshyllingen Katana Zero så unikt. Stander sade bland annat att det är en "neo-noir action platformer. It's very, very fast paced, everyone dies in one hit - you, the enemies, everybody. It focuses on tight, fast acrobatic combat. You can slash bullets in mid-air, kill people with them. You can slow down time, you can wall jump. You can do everything that you really want to."
Angående influenserna de använt sig av för inspiration, säger han:
"The '80s obviously. There's crazy neon lights everywhere, a bumping synth-bop soundtrack, gotta love that. And also Samurai movies, you know, Seventh Samurai, just the sort of eastern culture, I mean the whole story is basically about that, but we're not really delving into story right now."
Låter extremt mumsigt, inte sant? Du kan kolla in både intervju och trailer här nedan.
