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.

Yeeeeeeeah
Popular opinion has dubbed this game one of the worst ever made. Sometimes an opinion is popular because it's right.

The Plan 9 from Otuher Space of pc games
You NEED to play this game! It`s the worst pc game in history. Only for that you must play it. Ir`s like the Ed Wood movies, you see it to understand how NOT to make a movie (And for a big laught). The same thing here: Bad Levels, Bad weapons, bad enemies (The Freaking forst level it`s a swamp full of deadly little toads and robotic mosquitos!!), bad AI, bad (OH MY GOD.... BAAAAADDDD) sidekicks, bad RPG elements... You need to play it, is so bad it`s good. And, of course, read all the whole story behind it, after that its even more funny play Daikatana. It` the best worst PC game!!!
