Just finished Katana Zero after purchasing it on sale for around $10. I enjoyed every minute of it's very short runtime. If you like Hotline Miami, this is a must-play. You will receive the same amount of explanation on the ending however, which is to say, none. The gameplay is tight and brutal, with music that fits the theme well, though it never reaches the height of Hotline's soundtrack. The story is the one aspect in which I would say it surpasses it's inspiration, providing more fleshed-out characters and dialogue options. Recommend.
