Toukiden: Kiwami Reviews
If you've been missing your Monster Hunter fix in the recent Sony platforms, Toukiden Kiwami is the best substitute you'll find around.
So long as you've got the patience to fight the same spider mutant over and over again, and provided you really… really… love Monster Hunter, you'll have a fun little time with Toukiden Kiwama, and it'll last you quite a while.
But, other than being annoyingly repetitive, Toukiden: Kiwami is a fun game. Thanks to a large amount of weapons and armor to choose from, and characters that not only exist as chattable civilians but also as bloodthirsty warriors, you can spend a lot of enjoyable hours on Toukiden. If you're a fan of either Monster Hunter of the Dynasty Warrior titles, you might want to give it a try.
Toukiden Kiwami is a fun game on the PlayStation 4 with some great gameplay that really sets itself apart for what is available on the console at the moment with games like this. Sure it does have parallels to Monster Hunter but I feel that Toukiden Kiwami is a much more narrative focus game.
A decent stab at the Monster Hunter template, and a decent entry point for anyone considering the genre.
Toukiden: Kiwami makes for a good update to Age of Demons, providing the players with not just new items and equipment but all-new story portions and missions. It's not perfect, but the satisfying combat and impressive landmarks are enough to guarantee at least a look into its wonderful world.
Toukiden is an artful, intelligent Monster Hunter 'clone,' and Koei Tecmo is on to a winner with this franchise.
Toukiden Kiwami may not be totally perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. Monster Hunter will always rule the roost in these areas.
If you missed out the first time around, Toukiden: Kiwami shouldn't be avoided. The expanded storyline provides a great backdrop for the property's addictive gameplay loop, and a wealth of new content, coupled with some thoughtful tweaks and additional features, gives returning players more than enough reason to renew their slaying license. Koei Tecmo's creation is starting to truly blossom with this enhanced re-release, and we can't wait to see where it goes next.
