Katanaut is a fast-paced, Metroidvania-inspired action roguelite blending fluid combat and cosmic horror. Slash, dodge, and wield powerful abilities as you battle through a station sprawling with twisted, once-human horrors. Adapt, survive, and descend into the shadows to uncover dark secrets.
The best part is that people can’t even decide what the parent term roguelike even means. It’s a source of constant arguments what a true roguelike is, resulting in terms like roguelite. Now, everyone is adding even more terms to the original, and at a certain point, all these words kinda lose their meaning as they get further watered down. But hey, at the end of the day, you and everyone else immediately knew what roguevania was implying, so it did its job I guess.
I love how we, humans, have this super strong need to categorize everything but then we get lazy with the way we name said categories.
