Navigate the neon-drenched streets of New Mecca with our comprehensive Katana ZERO walkthrough. Learn combat, find keys, defeat bosses, and unlock achievements.

Welcome to our Katana ZERO walkthrough and guide. Katana ZERO is a stylish action platformer where you play as a samurai with precognition, working as a sword-for-hire in the dystopian city of New Mecca. Slash your way through enemies and environmental hazards, utilizing quick reflexes, throwable items, and the environment itself to reach your target. Be warned: most foes are one-hit-kills, and so are you.

Saves and Checkpoints: The game features permanently unlocked checkpoints after significant sections and temporary soft checkpoints saved on a screen-by-screen basis when exiting the game. Progress is generally saved at the start of a stage and after completing significant sections.

Variable Events and Replaying Stages: Your choices impact later events and achievements. Replaying stages or checkpoints allows you to alter outcomes. Meaningful choices will be highlighted in the walkthrough.

Contents of this guide include:

  • A walkthrough of the game's single-player campaign.
  • How to find all Keys and the Swords they unlock.
  • How to defeat all bosses.
  • Information on alternate paths/endings/objectives.
  • Details on how to earn the game's achievements.
