Reviews

“"Il risultato finale, complice il connubio di buon level design e altrettanto buon piazzamento dei nemici, è quello di un prodotto solido e divertente da giocare, punitivo “quanto basta” e di sicuro appeal per i giocatori con la pazienza e le skill necessarie nei pollici".”
81% – TrueGamers

“"「Katana Soul(カタナソウル)」は、80年代のアーケードゲームや、ファミコンゲームのテイストを狙った横スクロールアクション。"”
4/5 – AppGet

“"In definitiva, chi ama le sfide e vuole fare un tuffo nel passato per scoprire (o riscoprire) la sensazione di trovarsi di fronte ad un titolo ad 8 bit di 30 anni fa. ".”
7.5 – ilVideogioco
