And that return is in full swing with a number of game releases, including the cosmic horror roguelike Katanaut. The company recently confirmed that the game is now compatible with Steam Deck, opening up its massive audience potential. So, with that, it’s decided to do a giveaway – just in time for Halloween!

For good measure, Katanaut is also on sale, going for the low price of $14.39 on Steam through November 7th. We’ll be checking the game out shortly and be back with a full review.
What the Heck Is Katanaut?
Never heard of Katanaut? You’re in luck, because here’s the game’s official description!
Katanaut is a fast-paced, Metroidvania-inspired action roguelite blending fluid combat and cosmic horror. Slash, dodge, and wield powerful abilities as you battle through a station sprawling with twisted, once-human horrors. Adapt, survive, and descend into the shadows to uncover dark secrets.
It comes to us from the developers at Voidmaw, a one-person indie studio born with a deep passion for roguelites and a strong drive to create games that challenge and inspire players. Drawing inspiration from many classic games, Voidmaw’s mission is to bring a fresh collaboration of ideas to life, where every element is meant to reflect the Voidmaw’s commitment to quality.
Check out the trailer below and don’t forget to enter the giveaway. Who doesn’t like a free Steam Deck?!
Katanaut is available on Steam. No word yet on console releases, but fingers crossed!
