## Description
Hiro Miyamoto, the leader of the Miyamoto clan of martial artists, meets one
day a stranger who brings bad news. Kage Mishima, the archenemy of the clan,
has stolen the magical sword Daikatana, which allows the one who wields it to
bend the fabric of time and change reality. In addition, Mishima’s minions
kidnap Hiro’s friend Mikiko. He must rescue her, travel to different time
periods, and put an end to Mishima’s ambition.
This version of _Daikatana_ is quite different from its PC and console
counterpart, being a top-down action game with puzzle-solving, somewhat
similar to Zelda games, though with less character customization and more
focus on dungeon-crawling. Two companions eventually join Hiro; some of the
puzzles can only be solved with their aid. The dungeons, which represent
locations of different cultures and time periods, usually conclude with boss
fights.
