Katana Zero Duel

A fast-paced 2-player battle game inspired by Katana Zero. Both players take control of different versions of Zero and engage in lightning-fast, one-hit-kill combat.

• Player 1: Keyboard + Mouse

• Player 2: Gamepad

The core mechanics and timing are closely modeled after the original game, including one-hit kills, movement, data and so on.

On top of that, two brand new systems add a twist to the fight:

Parry

• Right Mouse Button / Gamepad LB

• Has startup and recovery frames. Successfully parrying an enemy's attack stuns them, temporarily disabling their ability to attack, use specials, or parry. 

• (Very hard to use for now)

Special Ability: Time Rewind

• Hold Space (Keyboard) / Hold B (Gamepad). Release to stop in middle.

• Rewinds both players’ positions and states.

• Rewind lasts for up to 5 seconds of real-time. The longer you rewind, the faster time flows — making control increasingly difficult.

• Every player has only one rewinding in every round.

Right now it’s just Zero vs. Zero — but new characters are on the way, and the dream is to turn this into a crossover-style arena for wildly different fighters from other games.
