The PS4 version is very serviceable and really makes me wish we saw other games in the genre actually hit consoles. Until then, 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.

But the true value of Toukiden, and now Kiwami, is the sheer respect and love for Japanese heritage that drips through its atmosphere. From the Torii structures, through to the dual-tailed Tenko foxes, Toukiden is every bit the artefact of history and culture that Omega Force’s other games, such as Dynasty Warriors and Bladestorm, have traditionally excelled at. Toukiden is an artful, intelligent Monster Hunter ‘clone,’ and Koei Tecmo is on to a winner with this franchise.
