Speaking of open world, that is the biggest change made to the game. Outside of combat, The Demon hand can be used to scale up cliff sides or latch on to trees in the open world. This makes things very interesting as some Oni will change forms after losing their arms or legs. It can also permanently destroy parts of an Oni when fully charged up. This will allow you to lock onto the the larger Oni body parts so you can target an specific area. The other major addition to combat is The Demon Hand. The sword and shield, which was my personal favorite, is much more balanced between attack and defense than the other types. The chain whip reminds me of Ivy’s sword from Soul Calibur, it has quick attacks and can inflict some serious damage quickly. First off there are two new weapon types, a chain whip and sword and shield.

In terms of gameplay, combat remains mostly unchanged, but there have been some upgrades and new additions. This is either a huge oversight, or just kinda lazy on their part and I feel it does take away from the experience a bit. Though I have one major complaint in this department. Temco Koei didn’t subtitle the dialogue when the characters exchange banter in the open world. You can feel the emotions coming from the characters as the actors put passion into every line. The voice acting in the game is all in Japanese and is nicely done. From the somber laid back tunes of daily life in the village to the faster paced, drum filled battle themes, the music here is a total win. Each piece of music only immerses you that much more into this world. It has a very Eastern feel to it, with lots strings and flutes. I really fell in love with soundtrack in this game. This makes the intense combat feel slick and natural, which is a great. There are no framerate issues to report on this one, even running on a vanilla PlayStation 4. The character models are equally as impressive and I love that each weapon and armor in the game has its own unique design. The amazing environments range from snow covered fields to ancient battle fields, and everything is nicely detailed which really makes you feel like you are in an alternate history Japan. Toukiden 2‘s graphics may not push the PlayStation 4 to its limits, but they look really nice.

They kept me interested in pushing the story forward just to find out more about them. These are but a few examples of the interesting characters found throughout the story. She is one of the strongest warriors in the village, but demons from her past haunt her and hold her back.

Benizuki is as deadly as she is beautiful. He may look cute, but looks are deceiving as he is a bad ass with a rifle and a mentor to other slayers. Tokitsugu, a warrior who lost his physical body fighting Oni, now resides in a mecha body thanks to the professor. The professor’s quirky nature was great and the rest of the cast played off her very well. While the main plot of this story is pretty basic, I fell in love with several of the characters. Figuring out how this slayer arrived 10 years in the future could hold the key to defeating the Oni once and for all. Having no memory of their past and in a village on the brink of civil war, the slayer meets up with an odd professor who takes them under her wing. The slayer awakens 10 years later in village called Mahoroba. A giant Oni appears from a huge gate that swallows one of the slayers. A group of slayers are set to meet these Oni head on in the city of Yokohama, and things here do not go as planned. The Oni that have appeared in the far north are making their way south. History itself is changing as this terror unfolds. The Awakening is upon us and the Oni have begun attacking. Did this one live up the expectations I set for it? Let’s find out! When Koei Tecmo announced that Toukiden 2 would be coming West, I was overjoyed to have another Oni hunting adventure. It was fast paced and I loved learning about the lore of that world and the characters that lived there. When I played the first ToukidenI fell in love with it for those very reasons. Since then I’ve played many other similar titles and found that I seem to like the more story based ones with fast paced action.

I got into monster hunting style games when I first played Ragnarok Odyssey on the Vita.
