Is this on Switch? Just experiment with the controls a bit and you'll get it - I think the buttons are shown next to the gauges on screen. Deflect bullets just by hitting them back like on the first screen in the intro.

I'm pretty sure it's in the tutorial on Switch, but it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention ;)

I completed this earlier in the week (except _that_ bit which I didn't know about) and thought it was pretty great. Once you learn how to use the mechanics effectively you can pull off some crazy-looking stuff on the spur of the moment.

I'm stuck trying to get out of the club without killing anyone. I didn't think that was a spoiler but will do if so. 

 

Am I just being shit? It's the bit outside, the timing doesn't seem to work. 

 

Do you mean the prison? I think that you have to kill people in the club otherwise you'd have the "GO!" arrow showing up immediately... For the prison, as long as the stealth indicator is green you're good, so just take it slowly... :) 

 

@ZOK - bullet deflecting is shown in the first minute of gameplay; see 0:23 in the below video. Also time-slowing is shown at 2:50 - note how it's the same button prompt shown in the top-left, and the gauge depletes as you hold the button. It doesn't spell out the associations you need to make between prompts and actions, but hopefully by making the associations it's straightforward enough.

Just finished this excluding any secret boss as hinted earlier. Lovely game which lasted long enough without overstaying it's welcome. 

 

I presume there are a few different ways through this and different plot choices to make. But I think I've had my enjoyment out of it. 

 

There is always room for games like this - sometimes I just can't be arsed with a big massive epic game.

According to the blog, the developer is working on some free story DLC - there's no release date yet but it's going to add quite a lot to the game...

The free Katana ZERO DLC will be 6x the original planned size. That’s a bit over half the size of the main game. This means more levels, mechanics, enemies, bosses, and intertwined story elements. It’s less like a DLC and more like Katana 1.5.
