Katakis is a horizontally scrolling shooter developed for the Commodore 64 by Rainbow Arts in 1987, and converted to the Amiga by Factor 5 in 1988.

The colonists' remaining plan is to use a series of DS-H75 Eagle Fighter space gliders to attack the machines and retake the planet.

This creates an unusual play strategy of the attacker and the defender, since the main ship is vulnerable to enemy fire and hazards.

bonus (unique in the whole Turrican II game map) that, if picked up, makes a helicopter walker robot appear, towing a banner with "KATAKIS LIVES!!!"

Turrican II also shares numerous graphical assets with Katakis, such as the H. R. Giger inspired backgrounds in both game's final levels.
