![]() Another notable addition to the combat system is the Demon Hand, which allows players to grapple on enemies and objects to move around quickly and unleash powerful aerial attacks. All returning weapons also come with new moves and mechanics, so those who mastered a specific weapon type in the previous games will still find something new to learn and use in battle. Back from Toukiden Kiwami are 10 weapons, with 2 very interesting additions, the Sword and Shield, and Chain Whip. Toukiden 2 also expands on the series' combat system in some interesting ways, making it feel familiar and fresh at the same time. The open world segment of the game is locked to single player only, which may not sit well with some, but by playing the game it's pretty clear how this was the only way to go. Missions accepted in the village can only be completed with the help of AI companions, with multiplayer missions being only available from Portal Stones. In the main village, players can accept a variety of missions that will transport players automatically to the mission area. And wandering around does have its perks, as players can find plenty of materials, optional content that elaborates on the story, and confront different Oni depending on the time of day.Īt the same time, Toukiden 2 doesn't completely do away with some of the previous entries' systems. With these mechanics, players do have a set goal when reaching new areas, which makes exploration more focused and overall more interesting, as wandering around becomes an option only after the Miasma level has been brought down. To prevent this from happening, players can reduce the Miasma levels by killing the powerful Oni that produce it. ![]() If the Miasma gauge is filled while exploring this part of the world, the player dies. Unlike other open world games, where it's easy to get overwhelmed, Toukiden 2 handles this type of experience in a very interesting way with the introduction of the Otherworld, filled with the Miasma produced by Oni. Unlike the previous games, where accepting missions transported players in the mission area, in Toukiden 2 players will have the chance to explore a big open world filled with small, medium and big creatures, secrets to find, quests to accept and complete and more. One of the biggest changes introduced in Toukiden 2 is the way players explore the world. In a game like this, the story is definitely not one of the main reasons to play, but it provides a good backdrop for all the Oni hunting action players will be doing. Toukiden 2's story, while far from being original, is actually engaging, thanks to the charming cast of characters that will accompany the player during the 30 or so hours required to complete the main campaign. As the story moves on, the Slayer and his companions will discover the true meaning of the Awakening as well as the secret behind the ruins scattered around the village. With the help of the Professor, the Automaton Tokistugu, and the local Slayers Benizuki and Homura, the stray Slayer starts to fit in the village, forging bonds that will help keep him in the current era. During the battle at Yokohama, the fully customizable main character is mysteriously transported ten years into the future by a powerful Oni, finding himself in the village of Mahoroba. Toukiden 2 is set two years after the events of Toukiden Kiwami, and ten years after the Awakening, when Oni began flooding the world, forcing the Slayers to come out in the light to fight them. ![]() Toukiden Kiwami, released a few years later, expanded some of its predecessors' features, and Toukiden 2 brings everything to a whole new level, introducing some new features that revolutionize the formula and make the game quite enjoyable. Trying to ride the tide of the Monster Hunter series' success, Koei Tecmo and Omega Force released a title that, while inspired by the popular Capcom series, managed to stand on its own thanks to its unique setting and streamlined gameplay features which made it easier to get into than Monster Hunter games, known for requiring a lot of time and patience to finally get going. Toukiden: The Age of Demons was a welcome surprise when it launched a few years ago.
