Diakatana was originally released back in early 2000 for PC and with the maketing stating that "John Romero was to make you his bitch", gamers cryed afowl and stated it was "the worst game ever". In the industry that we (the cusomers) have been acustom to for the last 20 years, the term "Worst Game EVER" is a complete joke, even in the eyes of bigtime/indie developers & publishers. Is it the woest game ever or even THAT BAD as most people say? No, Diakatana while having a great concept & ideas on paper, is a game that is enjoyable yet a higly flawed shooter due to the development timeline the game had. The story while poinless & all over the place, has a certain B-level charm that it's keep the game moving forward and overall a fun experiance. The soundtrack is a underrated one and bring to mind soundtracks from shooters like Quake 2. In the end. Diakatana is not the worst nor even a horrible game like most gamers/YouTube content creators state. This title shows while it is a highly flawed shooter, it also shows why John Romero was not only a crutal part to id Software, as co-creator of Wolfenstien 3d, Doom, Doom II & Quake but a crutal part to the behemoth that is the (first-person) Shooter genre.
