Very underrated old-school FPS

After hearing so many horrible things about Daikatana, I figured I'd give it out for a spin myself to see what it's like. I was very pleasantly surprised by it. One major thing to note for this game is that it takes a while for the player to get good at the game's mechanics, and that it's not unlikely that you won't have a great time at first. Most people shove the game aside and never try to learn how, for instance, the AI actually works or how to progress through areas properly. The game is not easy, and you can expect it to kick your ass in a bunch of places, but once you get better at it you'll start appreciating that a lot more. A lot of the weird and quirky design elements end up being good fun. That's not to say that the game is flawless: Some of the puzzles can be far fetched; the Quake 2 engine makes movement very weird; AI companions can be pretty slow sometimes. If you learn how to work around those issues, you'll have a really cool game that simply suffered from being overhyped back when it was released. Definitely worth trying out!

Deserving of its reputation

I wanted to give it a chance but it really is as bad as people say it is, if not even worse. Even with the unofficial patch that's supposed to make the game 'better" it's difficult to tolerate even the first two levels. The graphics are hideous and dated, even for the year 2000. It's truly one of the ugliest video games of all time. To make matters worse, it has annoying flying enemies and tiny pest enemies and all you are given to defend yourself is a garbage energy pistol with projectiles that bounce back and can hurt you. This game is true suffering. Don't buy this game.

Way ahead of the time, Unfair Ratings!

I have a lot of things I would like to say about this game but I’ll try my best to simplify it so I don’t get bored. The Game is far ahead of its time. The Concept, the Game Design, the Storytelling, almost everything in Daikatana would be a reference to the industry if the game had not been so badly received due to the poor AI of the sidekicks. Playing with Patch 1.3, you can either remove sidekicks completely or make them immortal, so you can see that the game is actually quite fun and fluid. Aside from the sidekicks, the only thing I considered bad about this game was the small, irritating enemies with good mobility. Can you imagine a DOOM game full of variants of Lost Souls? Yes, VERY IRRITATING! But apart from these 2 things, the game has very diverse scenarios, weaponry that changes as we go through the episodes, storytelling with cutscenes that was an embryonic thing with regard to FPS at the time. And there is the great point of this game that very few understood. The role of the sidekicks in this game is exactly to delay the player, in the logic of the great heroes, the hero, is always a character sacrificed by his teammates, and the game puts you exactly in that position, I admit that I don't think this is fun but from a conceptual point of view, even today in 2021 this concept is still ahead of time. This is too damn challenging even if you play it on lower dificulties.

Enjoyable after some tweaking.

After I managed to turn on the god mode on the sidekicks (so I can ignore them), the game started to show it's goodness. Apart from some awful levels, the game feels good, and sometimes I can find some folks playing multiplayer. What else I can say? Buy it and try it, but don't expect it to lick your boots (as the most today's games are trying to do).

Many different things

The game is not bad, as people says. It is not a classical game, like Doom or Quake, but it is a good game. A... questionable saving system makes it much harder then it can be. The good part is that it has four different sets of weapon (one for each episode), so it is anything but boring, and the graphics is surprisingly beautiful for so old title. AI companions are stupid, but keep their health full and they will help you to clean rooms with many weak/small targets. Most of the game you are alone, though. Anyway, it is not a meat shooter like Serious Sam, but it does not require that constant runs for items like Hexen II either.
