You are Kate, a deadly assassin on a quest for revenge against the Yakuza crime boss that lethally poisoned you. Battle your way through the Tokyo criminal underground in this time-attack, action roguelike inspired by the Netflix film!
You take control of Kate, a deadly assassin, and must battle hordes of enemies in a race against time as Kate slowly succumbs to a lethal poison coursing through her body. The core combat system is praised for its responsiveness and fluidity, with players required to deftly manage limited ammo, stamina, and the durability of melee weapons. Seamlessly switching between pistols, submachine guns, knives, katanas, and the ability to throw weapons at foes adds depth and variety to the combat encounters.
The game incorporates roguelike elements that provide a sense of progression and replayability. Between levels, players can unlock and purchase upgrades such as increased stamina, damage, or special abilities. These persistent upgrades carry over between runs, allowing players to gradually become more powerful and resilient. The procedurally generated levels and random enemy placements ensure that each run feels fresh and challenging, encouraging experimentation with different strategies.
A ticking time bar at the top of the screen, representing the deadly poison, creates a constant sense of pressure and urgency. Players must carefully prioritize threats and eliminate enemies to slow the depletion of the time bar. Acquiring and using stimulant syringes can fully restore the time bar, providing a crucial lifeline that adds to the tension.
The player is accompanied by Ani, a hostage-turned-ally, who provides support in the form of special abilities during combat. Coordinating with Ani's abilities and using them effectively to turn the tide of battle is praised as an engaging and strategic element of the gameplay.
The controls are widely lauded for their responsiveness and precision, allowing players to execute quick dashes, melee attacks, and weapon throws with a satisfying sense of impact and feedback. This, combined with the fast-paced, high-stakes nature of the gameplay, creates a compelling and challenging experience that encourages players to hone their reflexes and mastery of the combat mechanics.
