Much like other titles of the genre, quests and, for the most part, dished out at a desk ranging from killing copious amounts of smaller beasts like imps, hot-headed flaming skulls and small spiders to the far more interesting monstrosities that require a little more direct attention.
Once you’ve settled on a style - it’s time to settle the score. Upgrades are handled through a tree-like system by offering the various remains of slain beasts alongside materials found out in the field to turn a weapon into something new or to augment its currently available parameters. Though you pick a starting weapon during the character creation screen, you’ll free to swap to another whenever you’re at a storage box back in town.įists, swords, twin knives, naginata and a whole host of somewhat authentic old Asia weaponry are available to beat your foes to a bloody pulp with bows bigger than your entire body and a classic Enfield rifle also making the cut for those gun enthusiasts.

With around 10 weapons to choose from right off the bat, you’re not left waiting for your preferred playstyle to become available to trial before deeming it not right for you. 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. Despite its best efforts, it’s still more or less a game about putting 4 somewhat human individuals against hulking beasts ready and waiting to cave in their skulls. Well, for the most part, it’s a half-decent attempt - but things can get a little lost in translation along the way. Tecmo Koei want to take another stab at it with Toukiden 2 - but how does it handle with those already familiar with the genre?
There’s alternatives, sure but it’s difficult to scratch the itch.

While Capcom catapulted the genre to fame with the Monster Hunter series, it’s difficult for a Western PC gamer to get in on the hype with the franchises’ PC outings being IP locked to various parts of Asia with patchy English support. Fans of the big monster slaying genre have been getting restless as of late.
