From the legendary co-creator of the Doom
series, Heretic, Hexen, and Quake comes Daikatana.
Believe the hype. 64
enemies, 32 weapons and 40 levels that span four periods.
The noble samurai looked down from Mt. Fujiyama and chanted his final prayers
to Amaterasu, goddess of the Sun. In his trembling hands, he grasped the
Daikatana, his labor of love. His quest to imbue the sword with the magic
of time travel had led him to this cliff, to this ultimate sacrifice. The
Daikatana lacked only his soul to become a talisman for all eternity. With
the fierce eye of a warrior, the samurai thrust the sword deeply into his
flesh as drops of fresh blood rained down from the holy mountain.
Dr. Toshiro Ebihara leads an archaeological dig in the year 2455. He happens
upon the Daikatana, a legendary samurai sword. The legend states the sword
has many mystical powers, one of which is time travel. Toshiro's work is
being financed by his wealthy grandfather, Dr. Tetsuo Ebihara. Tetsuo discovered
the cure for AIDS in the year 2030.
Toshiro's evil assistant steals the sword, beheads Toshiro and runs off
by himself. He intends to use the Daikatana to travel back to 2030, kill
Toshiro's grandfather, and steal the credit for the AIDS cure.
This is where you come in. You're Hiro Miyamoto, Toshiro's loyal student.
You set out to get the Daikatana back and make sure history is not altered.
You start in the year 2455, but must travel back to 2030 AD to save the
future. However, there's a problem. You end up in 2030 BC instead! You
regroup, but are only able to travel as far ahead as 560 AD. Eventually,
through masterful management of your power, you make it to 2030 AD, where
you'll make sure things are made right!
You will travel through four episodes, The Dark Ages, Ancient Greece, Japan,
and San Francisco. Each episode bears distinct weapons, monsters, music,
and scenery. You'll seek out 35 weapons and battle over 60 monsters in
your search for the evil assistant and the magical sword known as Daikatana.
