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!”
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.
Throwback Thursday Recommendation
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.

Well, it looks like created of the coolest pieces of that time pop-culture, just done in a most unappropriate way possible. I hardly made it through even with godmode and noclips.
I'm sorry, John, it's a teenager crap.
Only total reboot can save this IP.
This game is so wonky I found it unplayable...will make you want to throw your computer out of the nearest window...I'm not kidding!
I remember reading all of the hype about what this game was going to be when it was released, and anxiously waiting for a chance to experience the thrills...RIGHT...then I got the game and to tell you the truth...to this day I consider this game to be one of my absolute biggest disappointments ever in gaming! Even if GOG was giving this game away free it would be abusive to it's subscribers...why they are even offering something like this is beyond me...seriously...it makes them look like they don't care what kind of crap they offer us as long as we'll suck for it...sorry but it's true!
Uninstalled after one hour of trash gameplay. Seriously, the gameplay is trash, the ai is trash, the storytelling is trash, and the level design is trash. Everything about this game is bad. I mean, really bad. The game starts telling a boring story for the next twenty minutes. It's like Half-Life's train intro but worse. Then, you must fight against small enemies with your useless weapon. Oh, and also the level design is incredibly bad. Look, this is a fast-paced shooter game, right? Why the levels are so tight. You can't even move properly. I hate this game, I hate it with every ounce of my being. I don't want to talk about this mess. Just buy it if you want to see how John Romero screwed up. Have fun if you can.
Everytime you die or travle to a new area there is this annoying clicking in the loading screen. Other than that its a old fps that dosen't hold up well.
