The new game, developed by Ludic Studios, is a "time-attack action roguelike" that is inspired by the Netflix film Kate, which stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and is about an assassin who has 24 hours to find an antidote to a poison that is killing her.

When you consider that players are taking control of the central character on her quest, the time-attack approach of the game is easy to comprehend given the plot of the movie. According to the game's Steam description, players can increase the length of each run by killing enemies to slow down the constantly depleting timer and earning stimulant syringes, which can be used to completely reset the timer.


The plot of the film is also brought into play by your hostage-turned-companion Ani, as well as the film's grimy neon-lit environment. Akane, Kate: Collateral Damage takes a more third-person perspective than an earlier Ludic Studios game, but a comparison of their trailers demonstrates why the Brazilian developer was a good match for the content.


Kate: Collateral Damage has the following system requirements, which are listed below:.

Minimum -
OS: Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT or equivalent
DirectX: Version 9.0
Storage: 400 MB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 9 Compatible Audio

Recommended -
OS: Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10
Processor: 3.3 GHz Intel Core i5 or equivalent
Memory: 4 MB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti or equivalent
DirectX: Version 9.0
Storage: 400 MB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 9 Compatible Audio


Kate: Collateral Damage is scheduled for release on October 22nd through the Steam platform. There is no mention of pricing, but it does not appear that this game is tied to your Netflix subscription in the same way that the Netflix games being tested on Android are. Instead, similar to the Eden Unearthed App Lab that recently appeared on Oculus VR, this appears to be a marketing tie-in that could help Kate stand out among the slew of John Wick-style action films with female leads that have appeared recently. Perhaps more information will be revealed during the streamer's Tudum fan event this weekend.
