Toukiden 2 can get repetitive at times with battles that go on way too long but it's still a fun monster hunting game that fans of that genre should be able to enjoy.

Giant demons, fast paced battles, and RPG elements, all taking place in Feudal Japan? What more could a gamer ask for in Toukiden 2? This JRPG had a lot to live up to in my mind. After seeing an innumerable amount of trailers showcasing a diverse range of gameplay aspects. After playing Toukiden 2, it felt as though the game was coasting on the popularity of another well-known Japanese gaming series – Monster Hunter. Of course not a complete carbon copy, Toukiden 2 does its best to stand ou...

Toukiden 2 is a great leap towards a much-needed evolution, and it dares to add new things and challenge tradition. Hunting games usually get an enhanced edition that adds all kinds of stuff and I eagerly await what Omega Force will bring on next time around. In the mean time, I’m gonna play more of this game for a few dozen more hours.

Toukiden 2 elevates the series with new gameplay features and an open-world setting that makes the game feel more cohesive and different to other titles in the genre. It manages to keep intact the best traits of its predecessors like an interesting lore, well-defined characters and a complex battle system, while also adding elements that improve the overall result. However, the lackluster graphics will reduce its mainstream appeal.

Toukiden 2 is a great example of “it it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. The core of the game comes from Toukiden: Kiwami and receives a good dose of polish, and Koei Tecmo added just enough new material. It’s another solid entry in the series and probably your best bet for a demon-hunting experience on current gen consoles. Though at times it can be monotonous and tedious, it allows the player to truly variate the gameplay. It doesn’t hold your hand or spoon feed you, and that’s always nice. With Toukiden 2, it’s good to be a Slayer again.

Toukiden 2 is packed with so much content that you can enjoy by yourself or with four other friends. The crafting is simple enough for anyone to get into and taking down a giant Oni can be incredibly satisfying. It’s just a shame that for everything good Toukiden 2 does, there is always something holding it back.

Toukiden 2 will likely be swept away in the hubbub of larger AAA releases. But if you’re a fan of this style of Action RPG, do yourself a favor and check it out. There’s even a decent online co-op for up to four people where you can rove the world and hunt Oni together. It’s a fun and solid Action RPG, and the best Monster Hunter clone we’ve seen yet.

Toukiden 2 takes a core from Kiwami and makes some subtle changes that develop the whole thing from Monster Hunter clone to something unique in the genre. The new, faster combat is a ton of fun and while cramped controls and limited presentation are there and a bother, they aren’t the end of the world and don’t frequently get in the way of the fun.

Toukiden 2 ends up offering something that’s lacking in all departments.There’s too much fluff between the good stuff, but it still offers a somewhat exhilarating experience in short bursts. If you’re looking for a combat-heavy co-op experience on PC, it’s not a bad choice at all - but if you’re coming from similar games, you’ll likely be left feeling generally underwhelmed.

Toukiden: The Age of Demons was a welcome surprise when it launched a few years ago. Trying to ride the tide of the Monster Hunter series' success, Koei Tecmo and Omega Force released a title that, while inspired by the popular Capcom series, managed to stand on its own thanks to its unique setting and streamlined gameplay features which made it easier to get into than Monster Hunter games, known for requiring a lot of time and patience to finally get going. Toukiden Kiwami, released a few years later, expanded some of its predecessors' features, and Toukiden 2 brings everything...

Back in 2014, I had the opportunity to review Toukiden on my dusty PS Vita that seemingly brought it back to life for a good while. It was enjoyable, but there were aspects missing that made the excitement slowly disappear due to the constraint in freedom and variety. About a year later, its remaster/expansion/half-sequel, Toukiden: Kiwami, was released that expanded the previously handheld-exclusive-game onto the PS4 and PC with the addition of new story elements as well as other features. We are now here with Toukiden 2 in 2017 that boasts a new story, additional battle mechanics, more customization features...

Toukiden 2 shows that an already impressive series can be made even better by taking chances on new systems. The story stays in scope of the premise throughout the game even after accepting multiple side-quests, there's always clear knowledge of what to do next. Although the open world map may be intimidating to some, the game offers easy quick traveling options to seamlessly get players from one place to another. After playing the game for well over 30 hours, I feel like I can continue playing for another 100 and with that I happily say, "Bring it on!"

It's the console monster hunting game you've been wanting, but with a far bigger emphasis on story and exploration.

In short, Toukiden 2 is everything a sequel should be. Instead of lazily expanding on the original game, which would have been so easy to do, Omega Force actually went back to the drawing board, completely reinventing those parts that needed work. By streamlining much of the dull admin and encasing the game in a larger open world, Toukiden 2 manages to break free from the pack. As a result, it’s easily one of the subgenre’s best entries to date and one that, in some ways, is preferable to Monster Hunter.
