    I will start by saying it is not a bad game but i have many cons about it. The artwork is beautiful, the control are also simple (which can be a good or a bad thing).

    This game feels like a prison - you can't "explore" without triggering a quest at all. You go at counter, pick a quest, do the thing, rinse and repeat. The menus are really ugly - like something taken from the NES era.    I will start by saying it is not a bad game but i have many cons about it.

The menus are really ugly - like something taken from the NES era. While you can customize a bit your hero when making it, you can't for armors and weapons - colors or forms are the same for everyone.

    Okay, i will be as honest as i can: this game looks and feel totally like a mobile title. It is almost an identical clone of Ragnarok on the vita in many aspect, just a re-skin. Loads screens between each single room gets annoying, its like they don't use the ps4 hardware?

    I give it a 6 because i like the genre. If you are like me, wait; this is no MH. But a few incoming title this year are promising for the action rpg scene on the ps4. Imho, Ragnarok or Soul Sacrifice on the vita are better than this... graphically and in game-play.    … Expand

    Basically Monster Hunter Lite. Perfectly mediocre. The thrill of hunting a monster across different zones and collecting tools/materials to survive is replaced with fighting easy demons in an arena. For this being Omega Force, the combos feel janky and nothing like their Warrior games quality.

    A lot of content was added, but I'd be lying if I said any of it was meaningful or challenging. Just spammed side-missions and different looking demons with the same attack patterns.    … Expand

    What can i say? Average Monster Hunter spinoff. Too much button masher in my opinion but has plenty of weapon and setup variations. Nice to play with friends, rather boring "solo".

    In essence, it offers a bit more of everything compared to the PS Vita game from last year, but still very little to the overall Monster Hunter formula.

    It's still no Monster Hunter, but it's good enough to attract and retain a few new slayers. [June 2015, p79]

    Yes, it is bigger than the original Toukiden. And it doesn’t look to shabby on the PS4. But one major problem remains: The core is nothing but an uninspired Monster Hunter clone.
