Toukiden: Kiwami is a demon-slaying action RPG that blends Monster Hunter-style combat with deep Japanese mythology and an emphasis on narrative. Originally released as an expanded version of Toukiden: The Age of Demons, Kiwami doubles down on content—new demons, new weapon types, new story arcs, and nearly double the game length. If you're into hunting giant beasts, customizing your gear, and slicing through grotesque oni with a katana the size of your character, this is your kind of game. At its core, Toukiden is a monster-hunting game with a faster, more anime-influenced flavor than Monster Hunter. You play as a Slayer—part of a dwindling resistance against the rampaging Oni that threaten to devour history itself. Your job? Destroy them before they erase the past. Combat is flashy and fluid. You can choose from a variety of weapons—swords, spears, bows, gauntlets, scythes—and each has its own move set, combo rhythm, and strategic depth. One standout mechanic is Targeted Purification: once you've damaged an Oni’s limbs enough, you can sever them and purify the remains, preventing the monster from regenerating. It’s a great blend of action and strategy that keeps fights dynamic and encourages precision. Rather than traditional skills or classes, Toukiden uses Mitama—the souls of historical Japanese heroes that you equip to your gear. Each Mitama provides stat boosts, passive bonuses, and active abilities based on its class (e.g., healing, defense, speed). There are hundreds to collect, each with its own lore and synergy potential. It’s a smart system that adds customization without overwhelming the player, and it doubles as a neat way to learn about Japanese history. Unlike many hunting games, Toukiden: Kiwami puts a surprising amount of effort into its story and characters. Your base of operations—Utakata Village—is filled with named NPCs, subplots, and evolving relationships. While the story doesn’t redefine the genre, it’s heartfelt and helps keep you invested between hunts. The setting leans hard into traditional Japanese aesthetics—expect torii gates, ghostly cherry blossoms, and demons inspired by Shinto folklore. It gives the game a unique identity in a genre often dominated by Western or fantasy styles. Visually, Kiwami shows its roots as a PS Vita title—it’s not stunning by modern standards, but it has charm. The art direction is strong enough to carry the dated textures, especially in Oni designs, which range from grotesque beasts to elegant nightmares. The soundtrack is stirring and dramatic, with traditional Japanese instruments layered into sweeping orchestral tracks. It does a great job of selling the scale of the battles. Highlights: -Fluid, satisfying combat with real weight -Deep and flexible Mitama system -Strong narrative and worldbuilding for a hunting game -Massive content upgrade from the original Toukiden -Great enemy design rooted in Japanese folklore Drawbacks: -Repetitive missions in long sessions -Visuals are dated, especially on larger screens -AI partners are serviceable but unremarkable -Multiplayer community is largely inactive (as of 2025) -The grind can wear thin if you're not into loot loops Toukiden: Kiwami is a compelling alternative to Monster Hunter, with a faster pace, more accessible systems, and a distinctly Japanese mythological twist. It’s a perfect choice for action-RPG fans who want intense boss fights and character progression without having to study a wiki for hours. Though it's showing its age, Kiwami still holds up as a meaty, stylish, and satisfying demon-slaying adventure. Recommended for fans of Monster Hunter, God Eater, Japanese folklore, and action RPGs with a focus on customization and co-op potential. Rating: 7/10

This is a decaffeinated Monster Hunter. It's not bad. The story is quite good. But, if you can get it on discount, is always better. I would really recommend it :D

Toukiden: Kiwami - A Monster Hunting Gem ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're a fan of action-packed combat, mythological themes, and teamwork, Toukiden: Kiwami is a must-play. This game offers an engaging alternative to the monster-hunting genre, bringing its own unique style and personality to the table. What I Loved: Rich Mythological World: Set in a beautifully crafted world inspired by Japanese folklore, the game pits you against Oni (demons) in epic battles. The story, while straightforward, pulls you in with its charm and the rich lore surrounding the characters and the Mitama spirits. Fast-Paced Combat: The combat system is fluid and satisfying. With a variety of weapons to choose from (each with its own playstyle), you'll never get bored. The addition of Mitama abilities adds another layer of strategy, letting you customize your build to suit your style. Content Galore: Kiwami expands on the original Toukiden with more story missions, new Oni to hunt, additional weapons, and an extended endgame. It's packed with hours of gameplay, whether you're diving into single-player or teaming up with friends. Beautiful Visuals and Soundtrack: The art style is stunning, with vibrant environments and intricately designed Oni. The soundtrack complements the action perfectly, enhancing both the intensity of battles and the serenity of quieter moments. Smooth Multiplayer Experience: Hunting Oni with friends is a blast! The cooperative multiplayer is well-implemented, with quick matchmaking and a sense of camaraderie as you work together to bring down massive foes. Room for Improvement: The camera can occasionally be a bit finicky in tight spaces, and the pacing of the early game might feel slow to some players. But these are minor issues in an otherwise fantastic game. Final Thoughts: Toukiden: Kiwami is an underrated gem that deserves more attention. Whether you're a veteran of the monster-hunting genre or a newcomer looking for something fresh, this game has plenty to offer. It's a perfect blend of thrilling combat, rich lore, and addictive gameplay. Highly recommended! 🔥

It's alright, a tidbit repetitive but that's the case for all these type of game from that era. The gameplay loop is fun, the weapons are interesting, I enjoyed the story and characters's development, haven't tried the online yet but it's probably mostly dead judging by the steamcharts stats.

• Game controller is RECOMMENDED, Keyboard only no mouse support • Ingame Vsync is broken, force vsync in GPU driver to avoid Fullscreen 25FPS • Game is locked to 30FPS, because it's a console port for me it's fine but I don't know about you. • the game is more on God Eater than Monster hunter you have NPC companions. • overall it's an enjoyable game.
