Produced by Ion Storm and running on a modified version of the Quake II engine, Daikatana is John Romero's infamous First-Person Shooter, released for the Nintendo 64 and PC in 2000. It is notable for being released several years later than planned; looking very outdated when it was released; several people publicly quitting the development team (some of which formed together and made games of their own); the ill-advised advertisement; and laughably poor AI on your required companions.In 2030 AD, a scientist named Tatsuo Ebihara discovered the cure to a global pandemic, saving countless lives and making the Ebihara family line rich enough to wallpaper multiple mansions with $50 bills. Four hundred years later, a descendant of Tatsuo, along with his aide Kage Mishima, discovered the Daikatana and, through careful study, eventually realized that it possessed the power to transport its wielder through time. Mishima promptly took the Daikatana and traveled back in time to claim the cure for the pandemic himself. In the now-changed 2455 AD, Mishima's corporation controls much of the world, using the cure as a proverbial carrot on a stick, and it is up to Hiro Miyamoto, with the aid of Mikiko Ebihara and Superfly Johnson, to follow him, take the Daikatana and Set Right What Once Went Wrong.A Game Boy Color version of the game was also released in Europe in 2000 and Japan in 2001, though for obvious reasons it is more of a Reformulated Game than a port or remake (featuring The Legend of Zelda-like isomeric gameplay and having heavier emphasis on roleplaying elements as a result). Said version doesn't share its bigger brother's rather infamous reputation, and is actually considered a classic on the system. The Japanese release was one of a number of games exclusive to the Nintendo Power flash cartridge service (no relation to the magazine of the same name).There's also a famous Let's Play from 2007 for this game; you can see it here. The game was released on Steam and GOG.com, if you have $6.99 ($5.99 at GOG.com). | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: A particularly stupid example: at one point in the medieval hub, Superfly will chide Hiro about being reluctant to enter a cemetery and call him "superstitious". Apparently he has some sort of memory loss and just forgot that in the previous hub (ancient Greece) you fought a whole army of animated skeletons, and thus it's perfectly reasonable to think other undead might exist in the game's universe (especially in a cemetery). | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: A rather annoying example: in the first hub (26th century Japan) level transitions are absolute. The second hub (ancient Greece) has a puzzle where you have to find the letters to spell out the word "aegis", and unless you have been very thorough in exploring the previous level, you probably don't have all the letters, meaning you will have to go back to find them. Considering there is literally no foreshadowing about this, it comes across as downright unfair. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: You start the game with only an unreliable melee attack and "upgrades" to several guns that you can accidentally kill yourself with, and the first episode is crawling with security guards who are hard to hit and do absurd amounts of damage with their hitscan weapons. Later episodes become much easier as your stats grow and you obtain weapons that are actually practical to fight more reasonably-designed enemies. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_18683fc2 | comment |
Power Up Letdown: An "upgrade" to the initial melee weapon increases the weapon's damage (to the point of killing robotic enemies in a single punch), by strapping some vaguely chainsaw-like device onto it. The problem is that this makes switching to and from this weapon far slower, as each time you slap the device on, pull the starter cord, then take it off when switching back. Thankfully the device runs out of fuel after about a minute of use and gets discarded. | |

Artistic License – Biology: Apparently the bubonic plague turns people into homicidal plague zombies. Somewhat justified in that magic is involved, but on the other hand the plague itself is never mentioned as being magical, just that magic was used to help spread it. | |

| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_26c4da00 | comment |
Ladder Physics: Trying to climb down a ladder without dropping off a ledge entirely is almost as difficult as trying not to kill yourself by self-inflicted friendly fire. Predictably, the worst of it is in the Early Game Hell. | |

I Meant to Do That | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_293f8cd8 | comment |
I Meant to Do That: John Romero claimed after the fact that the game was an "expert FPS" that was intentionally designed to super difficult, and while there is some evidence that bears this out,Example: the hardest difficulty places an auto-turret around one corner in the first level, which will shred you to pieces if you just try to run through, but bunnyhopping past usually nets enough speed to avoid damage entirely for the most part his explanation sounds more like this trope. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: Each time zone has a secret underwater area containing a(n admittedly very low-res) 3D rendition of the Dopefish. It's actually pretty deadly, but the secret areas also usually have a Mana Skull to make you invincible for a while, and killing the Dopefish nets a lot of experience to boost your RPG stats. | |

Character Select Forcing | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_2bcd6fc8 | comment |
Character Select Forcing: In the Game Boy Color version, the story sometimes requires the player to play as Superfly and Mikiko for no good reason (for example, there is a door that only Mikiko can open, but why play as her when she's in the party at all times?). The problem is that they can't use many of the available weapons. | |

Doable with the Shotcycler-6, the Awesome, but Impractical shotgun mentioned above. Of note is that because each shot adds its impulse to the jump... somehow... if you pull it off correctly (itself a minor miracle) it allows you to get much farther than usual for a Rocket Jump. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: This game has a host of these, including a glitch in the Lair of Medusa level where, when played in co-op, the player can get stuck to the floor when spawning, and get stuck in an infinite loop of respawns and telefrags by the other players. The only way to get out of it is to noclip past that spot. The second level of the first episode has a large door that is opened by a ghost in the cutscene that starts the level. Cutscenes are removed from co-op mode, resulting in the first episode being unbeatable in co-op without cheating. The AI allies frequently glitch up and begin running into walls and you'll be unable to snap them out of it. Considering your allies need to be by your side to finish a level (with one exception), this was game-breaking indeed. This isn't even getting into how your allies frequently kill themselves on every stage hazard they can find, resulting in an instant failed mission. The Nintendo 64 port of the game has a bizarre glitch. If you quit a level and go back to the main menu then try to continue your game, you will spawn with no weapons except the Disruptor Glove (the absolutely useless melee weapon you're given at the start of the game). You have to select "load game" again before continuing the game to circumvent the glitch. Your allies also occasionally disappear outright, without the game figuring it out. Cue being unable to progress without enabling the console and spawning the NPC anew. | |

Super Drowning Skills | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2 | comment |
Super Drowning Skills: The GBC version, where jumping into water causes sinking, but similar to The Legend Of Zelda only causes minor damage. In Greece, there's shallow water that safe to pass while deep water causes drowning. In the final stage, any water causes drowning even when some enemies are able to run right across it. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Every episode has at least one starting weapon you can vaguely rely on. If you can get a hang of the Ion Blaster's ricochet, it can actually come in handy for shooting around the tight corridors you'll find throughout Episode 1, despite being the most basic weapon in your arsenal. The Discus of Daedalus in Episode 2 also has limited homing properties and theoretically infinite ammo, making a good choice over the flashier weapons to can obtain. The Bolter in Episode 3 is a rapid-fire crossbow that does far more damage than you'd expect. Episode 4's Glock can keep enemies stunned and can take out most in three shots, though at least in this episode, you get several more surprisingly practical weapons, too. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: A level-design bug in one of the last levels prevented a door from opening to allow your sidekicks to regroup with you... in single player mode, no less. Fixed in a patch, but a pretty bad error to leave unnoticed. It's impossible to actually progress through the second level of the game in co-op without cheating, due to cutscenes not triggering in co-op. It's also possible to desync the traps in the first part of the SEAL Training Center's obstacle course by getting crushed in it in co-op, making it impossible to progress past it without noclip. | |

Temporal Paradox | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_501de366 | comment |
Temporal Paradox: Both Mishima and Mikiko warn Hiro that this will happen if his Daikatana comes in contact with Mishima's. During the final battle, Mishima will repeat this warning, stating that if he's to die he doesn't care if the entire rest of the universe has to go down with him - and then they clash swords with no ill effects (Hiro will usually be gibbed instantly if you try it in gameplay, but that's more an effect of Mishima being the most powerful enemy of the game than anything else). In the Game Boy Color version, however, Hiro can't use the Daikatana during the battle. If he had it equipped during the pre-boss cutscene, the game opens the menu so he can choose something else. | |

Artistic License – History: In real history the Medieval bubonic plague pandemic didn't reach the Nordic countries until the 14th century; there was a plague epidemic in Europe in the 6th century but it didn't spread beyond the Mediterranean. Also, Christianity wasn't so spread out in the Nordic countries until about half a millennium later. But since the date of the time period is only stated on the back cover and not in the game itself, this might also be an example of Covers Always Lie. | |

| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The story claims that if two Daikatanas touch, it could destroy all of existence. During the boss fight with Mishima, you can smack your sword against his with an audible clank, and nothing happens. Averted in the GBC version, which prevents the player from using the Daikatana during the final battle (although there's still a mid-game cutscene where the manifesting dragons collide). | |

Plot Hole: When Hiro finally meats Kage Mishima face to face he finds Mishima has his own Daikatana. When he asks how this is possible, Mishima claims he used time travel to steal it, which raises the obvious question: If he stole it, how would Hiro still have it? Or, for that matter, how did he time-travel using the Daikatana before he had the Daikatana? | |

Of note is that because each shot adds its impulse to the jump... somehow... if you pull it off correctly (itself a minor miracle) it allows you to get much farther than usual for a Rocket Jump. Each era has a weapon that is designed for rocket-jumping, and it (at least in theory) propels you enough that you don't get hurt by splash damage: the Sidewinder in Kyoto, Poseidon's Trident in Greece, the Ballista in Norway, and the Kineticore in San Francisco. As above, though, some other weapons also work for this purpose, like the aforementioned Shotcycler in Kyoto or the Slugger's secondary fire in San Francisco. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: After killing Mishima the various timelines created by his time meddling start collapsing and Hiro and co rush to recharge the Daikatana so they can make it back to their own time. Then suddenly Mikiko steals the sword, kills Superfly and reveals that the Ebiharas wanted to use the power of the sword for their own selfish ends just like the Mishimas did. After killing Mikiko, Hiro somehow uses the Daikatana to rewrite history so that Mikiko and Superfly (with no memory of Hiro) are alive again and for some reason living in 2030 AD working with Tatsuo (with no comment as to Mikiko being Tatsuo's great-great-etc descendant) as he searches for the Daikatana in vain, and Hiro becomes a hermit in the same time period keeping the Daikatana in hiding, as well as what looks like The Mona Lisa. | |

BFS | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_834420aa | comment |
BFS: The titular Daikatana takes up a third of the screen when you wield it and doesn't kill what you hit; a lethal blow reduces your target to 1 hit point, so you get to finish it off with an extra blow. Its name even literally translates to "big sword", sort of. In the N64 port, the sheath alone is almost as long as Hiro is tall. | |

The Daikatana gains experience as well, growing more powerful (and brighter) as you kill enemies with it, eventually becoming the melee weapon equivalent of a discotheque. Unfortunately, when you're using it, none of that experience goes to you. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_8f233b1b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness: Not only within the individual weapon sets, but even with the sets themselves: you start out with a weak melee attack by way of punching things and "upgrade" to ion blasters, auto-shotguns, and various explosive devices that are just as dangerous to you as they are to your enemies. After you get the Daikatana, you're sent to other time periods for the next three episodes, where you start getting weapons that are skewed much closer towards killing the target and not the user. | |

Artificial Stupidity: It's a good thing you can order your allies to sit around and let you clear out the level on your own, because you otherwise spend most of the game protecting them. And despite the above trope, the enemies tend to be a lot worse when faced with obstacles, and even bosses can get stuck - including the Big Bad himself. | |

Foreshadowing: Mikiko rather callously suggests to Hiro a few times in the story to just leave Superfly behind when he goes missing on the notion that he's slowing them down. Of course, that's only because it would make it easier for her to betray Hiro at the very end. | |

Foreign Language Title | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_b1b48ad1 | comment |
Foreign Language Title: Mind you, not correct foreign language. The developers are not alone in using the word, of course. The characters on the box are okay, and can be pronounced "dai" and "katana" individually, but when characters are combined together, they can have different pronunciations. In this case, the overall word would be pronounced "daitō". Besides, katana has no distinct large version; the term actually used to describe large swords in Japan is "Odachi" or "Nodachi" - as in, "great tachi", referring to the sword that was predecessor of the katana. | |

Real Is Brown: The Kyoto and Ancient Greece episodes both avert this, though in noticeably different ways - while Greece actually has a noticeable amount of color everywhere, Kyoto settles for something more like "Real is Eye-Searing Green". The Dark Ages and Present play this painfully straight, unfortunately, though the former is set during the winter so there's snow everywhere to add at least one other color. | |

| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_bfc659ba | comment |
Standard FPS Guns: Averted. Almost every single weapon is a gimmick weapon; particularly in the first episode, almost every single time, the gimmick is "it can hurt you", which often conspires with terrible collision detection to make it seem closer to "it's designed to hurt you" in practice. In fact, it's only in the last time zone that you get your very first pistol, at which point you start to truly appreciate this trope. | |

Falling Damage | |
| Daikatana (Video Game) / int_c9cab11 | comment |
Falling Damage: Fall damage is practically inevitable, given the low threshold of how far a player must fall before the game deems it unsafe. Many routes of the game have you dropping to lower levels multiple times, so being on your last few points of health in a room with enemies is usually safer than during transit. | |

Escort Mission: The game ends if either of your Too Dumb to Live AI partners dies, and you can't finish a level if they are trapped elsewhere in it - probably because of the cutscenes they are in later.

Ludicrous Gibs: Gratuitous grand-scale dismemberment all around, even when it shouldn't happen, like getting sandwiched by a free-swinging door.

Fake Difficulty | |

Fake Difficulty: The game was claimed to be an "expert FPS", more difficult than what shooter players were familiar with up to that point, but the simple fact is that a lot of the difficulty comes from unfair sources: the game is riddled with bugs and minor errors, the AI sidekicks are a chore even at the best of times, there are several points where you need to make use of speedrunning techniques to avoid damage from unfairly-placed enemies (and that's ignoring other points where you're simply forced to drop from high places and take damage to proceed), and even those who can get past any of that have to deal with the game front-loading invokedterrible guns with obnoxious mechanics that waste time and ammo (the automatic shotgun with a sticky trigger, the melee upgrade that takes several seconds to switch between while it's active) or damage you at least as much as your target (the ion blaster with shots that always seem to home in on you after two bounces, two different explosive weapons with huge blast radii and terrible hit detection to make them detonate in your face). | |
