Kotaku's 51 British Games to look out for in 2016
"Think multiplayer Hotline Miami with this one. Gunkatana is neon-soaked, brutal, fast-paced, arcadey and very cool."
The Guardian
"Gunkatana – a chaotic multiplayer shootfest, complete with grind rails."
"A kind of retro-tinged mash up of Hotline Miami and Towerfall."
"Each level has a series of rails which let players zoom from one place to another, allowing turbo-charged surprise kills."
Rock, Paper Shotgun
"Oh, what's this travelator thing? You can speed across it in a single blur? Well, I suppose that is quite cool. I'll give you that."
Don't be a Pixel
"The soundtrack feeds into the cyberpunk atmosphere and the swift violent gameplay."
"An even crazier and, to me at least, more fun Hotline Miami."
Impact Nottingham
"As a lover of local multiplayer games, I placed Gunkatana firmly amongst my favorites at the event."
"...amazingly fun and is definitely one to watch if you like local multiplayer games."
"Even as it is now, Gunkatana is a game I'd love to have in my collection."
The Gunkatana death matches weren't always the slaughterfest-spectacle they are today.
Some remember when it was different, when Gunkatana meant uprising and revolution. In the velas, the city's neglected shantytowns, riots turned violent as inhabitants fought for rights and citizenship. Back then, Gunkatana meant freedom.
Then the megacorporations co-opted the concept and now sell it for profit. It has become a way of steering unrest and opposition into the right channels. They're siphoning off the most violent and charismatic rebels.
Not all is lost, though. Among those training to fight, a feeling of dissent is growing stronger. But the corporation doesn't plan on releasing its grip on Gunkatana anytime soon...
Inspired by classic arcade and top down games, Gunkatana's brand of action mixes fluid, responsive gameplay with a zero-sum combat system. The turbo fast grind rails deliver quick kills and speedy maneuvering, delivering lighting-fast death!
Losing an arm couldn’t keep Sin Viper from joining the fighting elite. She has a knack for constructing biomods, is extremely skilled with her traditional katana and fires high-precision lasers with her biomech arm.
GenoCorp killed her sister, and she won't stop until she gets revenge.
Sombra was part of the failed rebellion against GenoCorp. Now he’s back with a new plan: overtaking Gunkatana from the inside! A biomod-skeptic, Sombra is the only fighter without modifications, relying on his natural strength and abilities. He even refuses to replace his dead eye.
A craftsman at heart, Sombra smithed his own katana, complete with a built-in laser blaster.
It may come as a surprise that a deadly morphbot has a fondness of felines. But if you think about it, it makes sense: not unlike a cat, Clarkecan be a vicious killing machine - if they choose to.
The makers at GenoCorp developed Clarke as a murderous tool without emotional capabilities, but Clarke is a little more compassionate than they were expecting (towards cats, at least). The bot has developed total consciousness and refused to kill on orders. Now the AI-gone-rogue seeks emancipation from its designers by wreaking havoc in the death matches.
Our base Kickstarter goal will allow us to deliver the game for Windows, Mac and Linux. Beyond that, we'd love to get the game out on consoles too!
