It brings the events contained in the plot to a fairly satisfying conclusion, but leaves plenty of unanswered questions and hooks in place as sequel bait. The story does a nice job in giving players motivation for hunting down the Oni and providing background for the world and cast, although it never comes close to being a tour de force on the narrative front. Eight years before the game commences, an event called the Awakening occurred and resulted in many Oni suddenly flowing in through a portal from the Otherworld to wipe out most of the human race. The customisable player character is a Slayer that has newly arrived in Utakata Village, whose task is to defeat the various monstrous Oni that threaten the vestiges of humanity. Toukiden appears to take place on a fantasy world with a heavy medieval Japanese influence. On the scale of Monster Hunter-esque games released in the West, Toukiden arguably fits closest to Gods Eater Burst in terms of a focus on story, albeit in a completely different setting. It may not bring anything new or have enough to quite reach the upper echelons of the genre, but Toukiden is an enjoyable experience that should go a long way to scratching Vita owners' itch for defeating giant opponents with a selection of overly large weaponry.
Now it's time for another contender, as Toukiden: The Age of Demons marks Tecmo Koei and Omega Force's entry into the world of large creature vanquishers.
The continued absence of Monster Hunter on Sony's latest handheld never goes unnoticed, but that hasn't stopped others from offering their own take on the idea to try and garner the attention of those foolhardy adventurers that enjoy taking on mighty opponents that dwarf the player in size. + Story, setting, and gameplay blend well
Historical Asian Figures? Yup, That's Omega Force
