    It's basically monster hunter on the Vita and since the only actually monster hunter on Vita only came out in Japan This is still a great substitute. It offers all the same amazing battles against you can monster will still fight each other from time to time. It's a great buy.

    One of the best games on Vita right now. It's got everything you could ask for in a toukiden game what more could you even want.

    The sequel to the original toukiden is exactly what youd expect: Monster hunter style gameplay with japanese folklore influence. While it is not as good as i would have hoped, it is stilla fun time sink with a fun combat system

    Toukiden 2
    Like Reading a Book
    In Toukiden 2 you create your characters and play as a slayer You get zapped 10 years into the future and you lose all of your memories… This game has a decent cast of characters but I quickly lost interest because of how much reading there actually is here.. This is a port from japan... there are no English dubs here, so it’s going to be hard for anyone    Toukiden 2

    You get zapped 10 years into the future and you lose all of your memories…
    This game has a decent cast of characters but I quickly lost interest because of how much reading there actually is here..
    This is a port from japan... there are no English dubs here, so it’s going to be hard for anyone that doesn’t speak Japanese to really enjoy this game…
    The lack of English dubs is really prevalent during battles and tutorials…
    The game is trying to tell you how to play as you play…
    Very easy to die and take damage while you’re trying to read the paragraph of text... try to comprehend the system the game is trying to teach all while fighting enemies…
    This is an open world hack and slash game…
    You get materials around the world to craft better weapons and armor while you complete the various tasks from the village you’re living in…
    The game slowly introduces new mechanics…
    in addition to just being a straight up hack and slash game..
    you’re introduced to a demon hand/claw move that you use to pull yourself into enemies, pull off special tasks, and proceed though areas in this open world…
    You’ll also every once in a while get tasked with taking out an oni.. hunting it down in a shallow witcher 3 style of just following its tracks and take it out by cutting off different botty parts and weakening it…
    there is no health gage on enemies though so boss battles can definitely feel like a grind…
    Even with your party of 4 members that do great at holding their own…
    But you’re rewarded with new mitama each time, which are essentially stat boost cards that add new perks and abilities to your character but at a cost…
    such as your health gradually decreasing when a bonus is active…
    Unfortunately the rest of the game feels just as grindy as these boss battles…
    mostly because of the lack of English dubs…
    You basically go to a spot on the map, return, read a harry potter book, go to another spot on the map to hunt down a giant oni.. Return
    read another harry potter book
    rinse and repeat...
    There’s an unbearable amount of reading here…
    after 3 hours of reading I was completely over the story and just started skipping through to the gameplay…
    Which again... isn’t that great either…
    The world is beautiful at times and fun to explore, but there are very brief moments of battle sandwiched in between a book.
    Toukiden 2 is an okay game.
    If you like reading more than you like playing…
    I give Toukiden 2
    a 6/10    … Expand

    I know that a lot of people have already written off the Toukiden series as little more than a Monster Hunter clone. And I get it: you are, after all, hunting monsters. But Toukiden 2 shows that just because the formula may be similar, the execution is on a whole other level. It's a fantastic game, and if you want to hunt monsters in an open world, you don't need to wait around for Monster Hunter World — Toukiden 2 is already here.

    Toukiden 2 - like most games in the hunting genre - is filled to the brim with content. Featuring tons of equipment to craft, Mitama to collect, and quests to complete, it easily ranks among the top of the genre. Plus, it certainly doesn't hurt that while it's easy enough that newcomers can pick it up, it can also provide enough challenge to entertain genre veterans.

    Toukiden 2 is without question a fun game, but so is Dynasty Warriors. My ultimate takeaway is that Omega Force has touched on some pleasant RPG charm and exploration of world and character here, but perhaps hasn’t gone far enough; instead, the game flirts with such elements before falling back on familiarity.
