Our take on Daikatana
The store page emphasizes the premise, weapon and enemy counts, level total, and multiplayer, but gives little information about how combat, companions, or the four time periods function during play.
What is Daikatana?
Play as Hiro Miyamoto, one of the few people who knows how Kage Mishima altered history and established a dictatorship in 2455 AD.
Hiro travels through time with Superfly Johnson and Mikiko Ebihara to confront the consequences and restore the world. The game includes 24 levels set across four time periods. Combat features more than 50 enemies and 25 weapons to collect and use. Two sidekicks accompany Hiro during the campaign. Network multiplayer is also included, with the store page presenting it as free network play.
