Toukiden: Kiwami Reviews
This excellent game is far more than a simple port.
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.
Toukiden: Kiwami adds on to an already good game with more content, more gameplay variety, and some proper multiplayer that really rounds out this package.
If you're a hardcore Monster Hunter fan, you'll probably find Toukiden wanting. But for everyone else - and especially people like me, who've struggled to get into the hunting genre but like the idea of it - this is a perfect place to jump in.
A worthy upgrade if you plan on playing the PS4 version. Not only do you get the entirety of the base game, which is great for newcomers, but you also get nearly double the content.
Toukiden is a fine game that monster hunting game fans will enjoy even without the depth they may be used to. This is also a great introduction to the genre for players not familiar with Monster Hunter. I say give this a shot, it's pretty great especially with some friends.
Toukiden is an artful, intelligent Monster Hunter 'clone,' and Koei Tecmo is on to a winner with this franchise.
If you've been missing your Monster Hunter fix in the recent Sony platforms, Toukiden Kiwami is the best substitute you'll find around.
