Dialogue and character interaction are simply filler between missions, featuring a cut-out cast replete with naive fledglings, ill-tempered veterans, and remote silent types. Though the presence of any story at all is one step above the Monster Hunter series, Toukiden’s narrative doesn’t exactly hail from the same school as, say, The Last of Us or BioShock. Players will soon discover they are destined for greatness and, through hours of gameplay, must hone their skills to face the encroaching darkness. Instead of leaving it at that, Toukiden actually develops on this original premise by introducing a narrative and characters. After creating your own custom-made character you are immediately dropped into this fictional medieval universe as an initiate of the slayer order. It’s rather uncanny and although the game has its flaws there’s a good chance Toukiden will garner a following in Monster Hunter’s absence.Įmbedded within Japanese mythology, Toukiden charts the ongoing war between the demonic hordes of Oni and slayers – humans charged with protected the last remaining bastions. Without a trace of irony, Omega Force have torn away Monster Hunter’s trinkets and baubles, before adorning its bare bones with a few of their own fresh ideas. To summarise, Toukiden is currently the closest you can get to playing Capcom’s cash cow on the Sony device without trawling the compatible PSP archive.
