Taking up arms against the monsters plaguing the outskirts of a small town, it’s up to these brave Slayers to put the beasts down despite them being demons that can not only regenerate limbs on a whim, but effectively respawn and carry on their eternal crusade.įrom the get-go, you are able to equip all manner of weaponry, ranging from swords, knives, spears, gauntlets, chain & sickle, bows, clubs, naginatas, sword and shield combo, chain whips, and even rifles, with no limitations locking you into specific weapons. While the story is intriguing, with a variety of somewhat memorable characters, it’s still more or less a game about putting four party members at a time against gigantic beasts ready and waiting to completely annihilate your group. With no clear way to get back and possibly being pulled out of existence due to being in an age with no connections or ties, it’s up to players to make their fellow Slayers part of a community and continue their fight against grotesque monsters and overwhelming odds. Except a gigantic Oni appears, sucks this warrior into an Oni Gate, and leaves him or her displaced outside Mahoroba Village ten years later. This particular Slayer is taking part in a battle at Yokohama, attempting to hold back the invading forces. Toukiden 2 introduces us to a man or woman who was there when the Awakening happened. The original Toukiden alluded to an event called the Awakening, in which the Oni (enemies) overwhelmed the world and caused the Otherworld areas to permeate into human civilizations.
The premise is simple, yet told effectively.
#TOUKIDEN 2 WEAPONS REDDIT SERIES#
This is the third game in the Toukiden series and luckily Toukiden 2 is an even more refined experience which offers more hunts, greater variety, and extra opportunities to interact with fellow NPC or online Slayer’s. From the same developer who gives us the “kill thousands of soldiers” Dynasty Warriors games, Toukiden 2 takes place in an alternate pre-20th century Japanese society, focused on demon hunting, crafting, item and gear collecting, and exploring. If you have been waiting for the next Monster Hunter like game, and if you only play on Sony’s platforms you have waited for a great while, Toukiden 2 is set to scratch that itch.
