![]() ![]() I also found that the majority of my time with the game wasn’t spent grinding, as after beating a major enemy type I always found that I had enough parts to make most of that armor set or upgrade to a new weapon. ![]() Luckily there is an option to turn off seeing the helmet, without a decrease in stats of course. I had a tendency to choose whatever had the best base defense stat, while also keeping in mind how the armor looked. Each set has their own bonuses and defenses, just like Monster Hunter. They’re also prone to purifying limbs and picking up items, saving the player the trouble.Īside from weapons, slayers must also equip appropriate armor. Once again the AI is pretty solid, as they initiate tons of damage on their own. This ended up being my preferred way to play through the majority of the single-player missions and scenarios. ![]() After a while though, I switched to the rifle, preferring to do my damage from a safe distance using various ammo types. Personally, I started out with the gauntlets, two powerful fists that deal fast and furious attacks up close. To battle these powerful demons, the Slayer needs a weapon and there are plenty of different types to choose from in Toukiden 2, ranging from typical katanas to huge hammers to sickles with chains. Luckily, Toukiden 2‘s companion characters are pretty handy with their Demon Hands, as they constantly interrupt Oni attacks and make sure they’re right in the middle of the action. This powerful blow usually severs the limbs off of Oni in a single stroke, making them that much easier to take down. Latching onto cliffs can provide a boost to higher areas or cross gaps that aren’t possible to jump across.Īfter doing tons of damage and working well with teammates, the Demon Hand can even unleash a powerful Unity Attack. This is also handy for closing the distance, as well as tripping up the monsters to provide an excellent chance to keep the monster at bay. Since the monsters they face are generally much larger, slayers can latch onto various parts of the Oni to get an aerial boost, where they can string together attacks. Much like a grappling hook of sorts, the Demon Hand serves quite a few purposes to the player. Led by the genius of a woman who goes by the Professor, the Slayer must use a new tool to get an edge on the Oni. From here, the player will go through various missions, steadily revealing secrets of the Oni, the new technology called Machina, and trying to connect that time lost to some sort of memory. It’s not long before the player finds themselves battling Oni alongside a group of slayers to defend this new village. He awakens several years later, with no memory of who he is (or she depending on player preference) or where this new area could be. At the climax of the battle, a much larger monster splits the sky and tosses our hero into a dark rift. The story begins with a great battle, where tons of slayers find themselves desperately trying to keep an army of Oni at bay. While the moveset is limited, it feels like there are a lot of ways to attack, with tons of options to set up one’s character. Combat is also quicker, usually resulting in the player releasing long strings of combo moves and special attacks. Even the simple act of collecting items feels just a bit faster in Toukiden 2. However, while the core gameplay is incredibly similar, there’s enough new features for players of Monster Hunter to find something unique. Players tackle huge, powerful Oni like a constant barrage of boss battles with three other characters and occasionally a guest character. One can easily compare Toukiden 2 to the Monster Hunter series. Taking on missions and clearing the fairly large open world of evil miasma and monsters drives this fast paced action title that seeks to become more than its inspiration. All of this frantic combat is held together by a fairly interesting story of a misplaced warrior in time and the technological advancements of machina. ![]() Similar in setup to Capcom’s Monster Hunter, Toukiden 2 puts the player against powerful Oni inspired by Japanese mythology, using crazy weapons and the powers of the Mitama spirits. Riding off of what made the original so interesting, Toukiden 2 takes the formula into something more unique with some great features for this genre. ![]()
