10 Awesome Multiplayer Video Games Nobody Played

Much like Avatar, Daikatana is not a game you'll want to bother playing for its single-player campaign, because John Romero's long-delayed FPS is ultimately one of the most disappointing releases of its genre ever to hit stores.

The sheer fact that it was a commercial failure means that most people never got around to touching Daikatana's surprisingly robust multiplayer component.

In addition to including a modified co-op version of the execrable campaign, players could also partake in the usual multiplayer FPS modes such as Capture the Flag and Deathmatch, with a loyal team of modders helping flesh out the core experience considerably. The Rocket Arena map is especially fun.

Daikatana enjoyed a mild resurgence in 2016 when the game's unofficial 1.3 patch was released, substantially improving both the campaign and multiplayer portions of the game, in the latter case updating multiplayer support after previous online provider GameSpy shut down in 2013.

Though Daikatana's wider fate was sealed by its infamously terrible campaign - which, even with the patch-fixes is still far from a good game - the multiplayer was significantly better than it ever got credit for, and lives on today through the small-but-dedicated "Daikatana Multiplayer Association."
