The game is also fun.

Its ok i guess

Kino.

game SUCKS!

Im gonna preface this by saying im a huge fan of the first Gonner, pre-blueberry edition. The first game felt like a polished masterpiece both gameplay wise and audiovisually. The fast paced platformer combat with the feeling of racking up a insane combo was the most satisfying thing i could ever experience from a rouge-lite. The first edition of GoNNer will be forever one of my favorite games of all time. That was until they released a "Free" DLC with no options to disable it.

The game went from being a polished master piece to completly unplayable. The enemies that spawn when you get a huge combo made it almost a guarantee that you wont be able to rack up higher combos without being completly shutdown by several of the new "combo" breaker enemies. To top it off the new stage that would without a fail ruin the pacing of the game and just overall boring level layout made GoNNeR the best game to a dissapointment.

Now, after seeing the trailer for GoNNer2 i thought i would give it a try, audio visually this game has never failed to dissapoint, gameplay wise? I can only describe it with one word;

Dumpsterfire.

There is so much issues with this game that holds it back from being a wonderful game, and the first one simply is- ITS NOT EVEN FINNISHED!!! The game has several things implemented into itself that screams "released before being finnished" first of all being the obvious implementation of backpack items and the fact that there are more than one pedestal would indicate that there would be more backpacks in the game right? No its the only item in the game. The weapons are all just, bad, except for the laser rifle which is just broken and makes this game just super easy. Only after 2 hours of gameplay did i already achieve 6th place in the leaderbord, i was gonna try to get first only to realise that the first place is a glitched score only available through farming a second players death.

Unlike the first game, this game has no secrets, and exploration is just, limited. I could go on about how much of a dissapointment this game is but i could go on for hours. Unless the developers release a patch that fixes all the blaring issues, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

(also please make a patch for GoNNer that makes blueberry edition disabled, i would pay 100$ just for that)

This DLC killed the game for me, the first game without the DLC was a masterpiece in its simplicity, i loved the aesthetics of the game and the way the combo system worked and how the game changed with your combos.

But the addition of new obnoxious enemies like the exploding gremling and the new stage that is just the worst ♥♥♥♥ ive seen in a long time , the game just goes from a simplistic masterpiece to a piece of ♥♥♥♥ WIP rouge lite. The game's flow was really good but those additions just makes the game feel horrible to play and makes chaining a combo from the different worlds outright impossible

Play the OG game, not the DLC

Ive played this game way more than i should have, and i finaly have achieved a CEO mindset. Before purchasing this game i would just sulk and complaing about my working conditions, now i finaly realized what a real CEO would to is to kill your co-workers, take their organs and sell them on the black market, buy a new house with all the cash i made and massacre all my neighbours who cant shutup about three gods or something.

Wake up early. Have a 10 year plan. CEO mindset.

I played this game through a single sitting and i love the aesthetics, music and general feel of it, the game is fun and while the mechanics are nothing new its stull fun to play. HOWEVER.

Theres a trend going on right now with story based games, and that is the illusion of choice.

The biggest offenders of the "illusion of choiche" has to be all telltale games where most of your desicions amount to nothing and only a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ desicion will decide the rest of the story. Katana zero however just fails in a new way, the game gives you the illusion that your choices matters, but in reality they dont, at all. The story will continue as it will, no matter what you choose for dialouge or interact with things in your surroundings the story will ALWAYS play out the same.

Now story driven games where you cant affect the story arent bad, there are plenty of those, for example hotline miami. But the difference between those games is that hotline miami does not pretend that your choices matters, this game does by giving the player several dialouges, even dialouges emphasizing the importance of choice, but in the end it amounts to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NOTHING.

game 10/10

Story 10/10

Love this game but stop giving the illusion of choice, its annoying.

Short but fun if you like fast paced shooters

I really like rouglikes, and this game COULD had been fun if they hadn't messed up some really basic stuff.
The game is so unclear, the UI is so ♥♥♥♥. The map is bad the controlls are hard to figure out the items are plain and basic and the characters are tedious. Compared to other rougelikes that give you more than some stats after you leveled up your character ( and just 2 abilties which usually one of them is completly useless)

Is the game worth full price? no just buy it at sale when it is at 4$
