What do you think?

awesome game, but keyboard and mouse is horible

Ah the game is so amazing But the Keyboard+Mouse controls is not working,please fix it,it will be an awesome game

Please add possibility to play with keyboard and without mouse (set A for left rotation and D for right rotation).

You could also write keyboard controls.

Gunkatana is a top-down multiplayer arcade game, your objective is to kill to rack up points.

I will not describe what it does right (too many to count)
I will instead list what can be improved upon.

The gun control is not intuitive at all and more often than not using the mouse to aim will just result in buggy gameplay (such as your character moving even when you aren't holding down a single key)

Since it's still in development it's obvious the limited amount of options in gamemodes and characters will quickly wear down it's novelty.

The rail system in its premise is nice but I personally think it's a tad bit too fast to create proper counterplay and it's often by luck you get to kill someone who's riding on the rails.

This game has a lot of potential and these cons I pointed out should not detract any interest from those who are curious about it. It's definitely worth a try.

BUMP & GRIND, SLASH & SMASH!

Gunkatana is kinda like if Hotline Miami & Doom multiplayer had a child and geeked it up on a gallon of Jolt Cola.

The gameplay is pretty straight forward: kill the others before they kill you. You have a melee attack and a ranged laser blast for offense, and your defense is a good offense. While the laser can help in corridors, the melee can deflect the lasers, which will make your ranged attacks useless most of the time.

Graphically, it's beautiful. The dystopian cyberpunk futuristic style kinda gives off a 1980's sort of feel. It's flashy without being too busy, eye catching while still being easy on the eyes.

The music and sound effects are great. The controls are tight and responsive.

Overall, this is a brilliant alpha build for what's sure to be a stellar title.

Turbo-Accelerated slice 'n dice 'em up! A Cyberpunk Murderfest inspired by Hotline Miami and Smash TV.

Gunkatana is a game of BRUTAL combat with LASERS, KATANAS and the unique TURBO RAILS.
