redline.gif (43 bytes)

The Daikatana Mplayer deathmatch demo can only be played on Mplayer, unless you install the Internet patch (see below). Game fans will be able to log on to Mplayer to challenge other opponents from across the Internet in intense multiplayer battles featuring up to eight players. The demo was released in preparation for the Daikatana Deathmatch Tournament that will begin in a week and last for four weeks.

The Daikatana multiplayer demo includes two deathmatch maps, one from Kyoto, Japan 2455 C.E. and the other from San Francisco 2030 C.E. Players will have the opportunity to test their skills using five weapons: the Disruptor Glove, Sidewinder, Shotcycler-6, ION blaster, and C4 Vizatergo.

The demo requires a 3D accelerator card that supports Open GL, the final will support DirectX and Software. Technical support is limited, and feedback/comments should be directed to dkfeedback@edios.com. For more information on the game please check out the online readme file.

There is a LAN/Internet patch available for this demo to allow you to play the game on the internet and not just Mplayer. (see below)

set dm_teamplay "1" // this enables the TDM mode
set dm_friendly_fire "1" // if it's 1 you can't hurt your team members
