Daikatana
Description
In 2455 A.D. , Kage Hishima used the magical powers of the Daikatana, the most powerful sword ever forged, to alter time and establish himself as supreme ruler. You are Hiro Miyamoto, one of the few people on Earth who remembers what really happened. The burden of saving the world, your version of it, has fallen unto your shoulders. You’re not alone as your friends, Superfly Johnson and Mikiko Ebihara, travel by your side. You must gather weapons, overcome all obstacles, discover deviously concealed secrets, and battle a bewildering array of foes. Use your resources wisely as you’ll need all the help you can get. Are You Ready?!
From the rock star designer, John Romero, comes the legendary, in more ways than one, Daikatana (“long sword” in Japanese). Run ‘n’ gun is the norm here as you blast your enemies to oblivion with over 24 glorious, bad ass weapons. On top of the sweet, sweet guns, you are armed with the Daikatana--a weapon that grows in power the more you use it. Go on a wild time-tripping ride and make your enemies “Suck It Down!”
We share the earnest reasons that make a classic game so dear to us!
Recommended by Kilg0re, Stream Team: Daikatana is an underrated game in my opinion, that has an undeserved reputation for being a "bad" game. Though it certainly has it's janky issues, and there were many issues on release, there is a lot of fun to be had here. IMO, once you get past the drab, grindy opening episode (which is the one most people played in the shareware demo), the game really opens up in terms of graphics and level design. The John Romero approved community patch makes it much more playable on modern PCs, and I think even if it's not a bona fide masterpiece, when all is said and done, it's an ambitious fun experience.

- Wreak temporal havoc in 4 distinct time periods: ancient Greece, medieval Norway, near-future San Francisco, and high-tech Japan in 2455.
- Incredible sidekicks as they provide cover fire, watch your back, and provide helpful feedback to assist you in your mission.
- Pulse-pounding multiplayer action with two equally exciting modes of play: classic Deathmatch and Jewel Quest, a variant of capture the flag.

Lives up to its reputation
Aware of its legacy, I bought this mostly out of curiosity. It did not disappoint. Only further fuels my unpopular opinion that John Romero is nothing without Tom Hall.

Waste of time
It truly deserves its infamy of being one of the very worst FPS games ever released. Hit-scanners, horrible AI, ridiculous save-mechanics, laughable storyline... and god, the jank. The jank is real with this one. I can bare Blood2, but not this, this is too much. Do NOT buy, do NOT play, it is an utter waste of time.

Fun to play.
Nice oldschool FPS, nice Weapons (shotgun is my favorite), nice environments, blood and gibs... Not so fun: i got stuck in some levels because i could not find the way and had to look it up. Oh and the sidekick KI isnt the best ;) But, like the Title.... fun to play, if you like FPS games!

Old game...not good.
Don't bother, there's a reason why this game is famous, and it's because it's really bad. It wasn't worth its price back in the day, and it still isn't. Of course, it isn't as bad as some other games, but does that mean you should buy it ? No. Not at 5,99$. Maybe if you found it around 1 or 2$, i would rate it higher, but keep in mind you won't have fun with the game. I'd rather recommend playing good old quake II instead, or really any other good FPS.
