The bosses are large creatures that have to be dismantled, one limb at a time, before you finish them off. There are a good choice of weapon types for you to experiment with and I recommend playing with most of them before you make your choice.Īlong with AI, or human, help (although these are seperate campaigns) you take to the battlefield fulfilling various mission tasks such as finding objects, taking out various numbers of smaller enemies or facing off against a boss oni. Or you can use the gun (rather you than me) or the bow (my weapon of choice and part of the reason why I love this game). To do this you generally hit them with something sharp, or something blunt. The story is that you are a Slayer and you are tasked with protecting your part of Japan (the Midlands) from the oni a seemingly unstoppable force of shadowy demons. Everything here is a little more considered. There’s no randomly bashing square and triangle and watching your on-screen avatar whirl around in a ballet of death. Essentially, it is a hack and slasher but it is far from a button-masher. You play as a chap who runs around small levels, clearing out enemies and finding loot. For me, I describe the game as Dynasty Warriors but without the crowds. But I’m informed that that’s the genre Toukiden sits in.

The game itself is apparently a Monster Hunter clone.

You get the original billion or so hours and then a bunch more missions (and weapons) but now it is on the PS4 as well as the Vita (with cross-over multiplayer for both formats).

Toukiden: Kiwami is essentially an extended version of Toukiden: Age of Demons, which was a Vita game. I’m still not that into the plot or characters, the game lacks variation and the controls are generally a bit too clunky but that stuff ultimately doesn’t seem to matter when you are hopelessly addicted to it. At this point, some twenty hours in, I’m sort of obsessed with it. I still wasn’t sure about the game but I had now gotten to grips with it a bit more and was enjoying it. My next three hours were a little different. At this point I was fighting the urge to quit the game, annoyed as I was by the clunky melee combat and the low quality presentation. Toukiden is guilty of much of that and for the first three hours I was questioning both why this was made and why on Earth the publisher would let us have a review copy of it. They are often clunky and inelegant, they usually have UI issues, text-heavy plots that would be inpenetrable no matter how they are delivered and then you have the Japanese staples of ‘cute’ squeaky creatures, the kind of difficulty curves that look like a Richter scale reading in 1945 Dresden. I’m not always a big fan of Eastern-developed action games. You feed it with the food sold by the shopkeeper.Apin PS4 tagged demons / hack and slash / monster hunter / toukiden by Richieīefore I look at the various merits and flaws of Toukiden: Kiwami it is worth noting that, on paper at least, I shouldn’t like this game. When it does this a lot, it'll get hungry over time.

I say healing because you have to hit your allies to heal them (when equipped with the right mitama, of course) Overall, stick with the weapon you want to go with and master it.Īs you progress the game, you'll get your own Tenko which you can send out to hunt additional materials. I've noticed that ranged weapons are good when you're healing and planning for your group. It's hard to master, but if you keep practicing you'll do fine. Spear has a learning curve, especially its square + x defensive stance. Swords and dual knives are beginner-friendly, Naginata is the Kiwami version if beginner-friendly, IMO. Sell what you can to add stock for the shopkeeper (learned this now thanks to /u/StephenFossa) There are some items that only the storekeeper sells, so you'll rank up with him eventually. Some quests require 99 of an item, so it's fine to keep some for now. But since no one else replied to you yet, here goes: I'm still at chapter 3 myself, so anything I say may be moot later.
