Delving into Katana Dragon: A Ninja Action RPG, now compatible with Linux and Steam Deck for gamers on the go.
In a significant move for the gaming community, the indie developer Tsunoa Games has recently added native Linux and Steam Deck support to their game Katana Dragon. This action RPG, set in the land of Sogen, is now accessible to Linux users without the need for tools like Wine or Proton.
Katana Dragon takes players on an exciting journey as they control two protagonists, Shin and Nobi, through ancient temples, hidden dungeons, and populated with strange creatures. The game's narrative unfolds as Nobi delivers a gift to the Heshu family, the guardians of the Haen Forest.
One of the standout features of Katana Dragon is its combat system, which allows for a high degree of customization through unlockable skills. Players can tailor their combat style to their preferences, making each playthrough unique. To solve pressure plate puzzles, the game introduces the Shadow Clone ability, a mechanic reminiscent of Naruto's clones.
In addition to the engaging gameplay, Katana Dragon offers various other intriguing elements. For example, dragon gems can be collected and added to gear to boost stats, while cursed seals provide powerful buffs but come with risks. The map system is straightforward and helpful for navigation, and the Gokairium acts as an in-game wiki for learning about enemy types.
When not engaged in combat, Nobi has a tendency to fall asleep if left idle for a while. This quirky detail adds a touch of humour to the game, making it even more enjoyable for players.
The game is available for purchase on Steam for $9.99, and more content is on the way. This includes new dungeons, ninja skills, enemy types, skins, cursed seals, and accessories. With more developers now offering native Linux support for their games, Katana Dragon is a testament to the growing reliability of Linux as a platform for both mainstream users and gamers.
Play Katana Dragon today and immerse yourself in a world of ninja action, adventure, and strategic combat. Whether you're a seasoned Linux user or a newcomer to the platform, this game is sure to provide hours of entertainment.
