The fast-paced assassin thriller, in which Woody Harrelson is also involved, is now being converted into a roguelike game by Netflix: In a classic isometric perspective, gamers can steer Kate on her bloody vengeance campaign through a pixelated but stylish Tokyo. There is of course a time limit in the game until the poison kills the protagonist. Indeed Players can slow down the countdown by defeating opponents. Who dies, has to start a new run according to the laws of the genre, but can unlock helpful items. (Source: Steam)
Streaming giant continues to work on gaming offensive
Netflix announced months ago that the company would like to break into the gaming market – for that the streaming provider uses games based on in-house productions. So far, Netflix has focused on two Stranger Things games that are playable for subscribers on mobile devices in a test run in Poland. With Kate: Collateral Damage, the company is now expanding its gaming portfolio and improving its Steam presence at the same time.
