Not a bad game at all
Daikatana really isn't a bad game trust me I have played rogue warrior if you want bad. It has some cool ideas like the rpg mechanics,the style, and the weapons but the ai and level design kinda kills it. the ai is pretty bad and the level design is poorly designed. besides people the pc version is the best version of this game

Welp, they tried...
The infamous FPS-RPG Daikatana, even after the "unofficial" patch 1.3 (which simply makes the game playable), actually showed potential in some part of its gameplay and some really interesting idea in its design that helped me through the game, hoping that after a while the game would finally get good. And, for some part, it does. Problem is, even with some really interesting idea behind it, Daikatana remains one of the poorest game ever created, for its flaws are... everywhere: enemy design, map layout, story (more for the way it is told, overall the preset of the story could have been interesting), weapon ( good the idea to differentiate for the time periods, but found almost all of them no fun to play at all), corpses with a gigantic hitbox, the whole RPG system, etc.. On top of that, this is a review for Daikatana WITH an unofficial patch, not for the original game. So, is it that bad? well... actually there is some middle ground: some sections of the game are, as said before, interesting and, as all in john Romero's works, some ideas were truly good, revolutionary, in fact, but their execution was terrible. Unfortunately, I couldn't recommend it, even patched, unless you re a true fan of ion storm work and this kind of game... or just want to experience one of the most famous games of all time, both ironically and rightfully so.

With a patch it's really good
The original release of Daikatana isn't.. great. Marred by many problems, bugs and things to solve. I always liked this game, even with the malarkey. Now, with the 1.3 patch, I find it an even better time with it's robust deathmatch, and one of the best single player campaigns of the 2000s.

Multiplayer is the best!
I really feel that the best part of Daikatana is the no hold barred multiplayer. It is ridiculously fast and furious, and the four different time zones make it unique. I used to host DK servers a few years back and it was some of the best DM I have ever played! Shout out to John Romero, DI MeisterM and TheEO!

Put it simple..
You want a nice thrill ? go hard and chop ur way past the no ammo.. Yes..plenty of save/loads...but hey..if it was easy why play a FPS ?.. I had this game and yes, it's a long battle..but that's what FPS is for right ? Works decently..has ok graphics.. When on sale specially..get it play it, and enjoy the moments where you did the impossible by trying 100 times in a row...(that would be where you save with next to zero health and have to millimeter ur way through to the health pack..guuuudd..) FPS..it's no fun when it easeh.. (and there's value in ur money..cheap game+sale = hours of :P D: :D :DDD :P :D
