Tutorial Walkthrough

After a brief cutscene, you will be tasked with deflecting your first bullet. Time your deflection correctly (press the deflect button) to progress. Once you’ve successfully done so, you’ll be in control of the main character. From here, follow these steps:

1. Move Right: Head towards the right side of the screen until you encounter a clothesline.
2. Clothesline Jump: Jump onto the clothesline, then drop down to the next platform.
3. Break the Floor: Aim at the breakable floor below and slash with your katana to break through.
4. Proceed: Drop down and head to the door on your right to enter the next area.
5. Phone Call: You’ll get a phone call, which is essential for unlocking an achievement.

Achievement: Don’t Hang Up!

• Achievement Description: “In 1962, the Orlons released one of the all-time greatest doo-wop hits, Don’t Hang Up. Google it. Anyway, you hung up your phone a lot.”

In this hallway, you’ll receive a phone call. If you want to unlock the Don’t Hang Up! achievement, keep hanging up on the caller by choosing the “Hang Up” option. Repeat this until the caller gets frustrated. The achievement will unlock after enough hang-ups.

Once the phone call concludes, you’ll be greeted with the title credits, and then you’ll move into the first full mission: Factory Hideout. This mission will introduce new mechanics, such as timed attacks and advanced maneuvers. Get ready to put your skills to the test!

Katana ZERO offers a unique mix of fast-paced combat and strategic planning. Use this guide as a starting point, but make sure to experiment with the game’s mechanics to master your ninja abilities.
