About the Game

"Kats Trigger" is a game inspired by masterpieces of games, films, manga, and anime from the 1980s to the 2020s, created with deep respect and admiration for the great creators behind them.

Experience hyper-speed noir action that pushes the limits of intensity, while enjoying a quietly unfolding story delicately woven within.

■ Slash, shoot, stab, and wipe them out. If no one survives, it’s an assassination.

Cut down swarms of enemies with your blade, and deliver holy bullets to cowards who snipe from afar.

Evade attacks with quick dashes or deflect them with your sword to counterattack.

Combat rewards flexible thinking and unconventional actions. Above all, it should feel satisfying.

■ Grappling with a wire is one of the core mechanics of the game.

Pin it into walls to move rapidly, use it on specific objects to maximize mobility,

or fire it at enemies to restrain and disable them.

Dominate your enemies with free, three-dimensional movement in all directions and enjoy the overwhelming sense of speed.

■ Flashy combat is not the only answer. Sometimes, one clean slash is enough.

Avoid enemy sightlines, slip behind them, and take them down in a single strike.

Attacks from behind instantly kill weaker foes, and even larger enemies cannot avoid severe damage.

■ Enjoy combat with a wide variety of weapons.

You may find special ammunition placed around the battlefield.

Shotgun rounds that dominate at close range, missiles specialized in destroying machines, flamethrowers that burn wide areas—

use different types of ammo to gain the upper hand in combat.

■ Enemies are not limited to humans.

Massive demolition machines that smash through buildings, fighter jets that rule the skies, and crop harvesters modified for unknown purposes.

These colossal, living weapons appear as bosses, completely changing the scale of battle.
