The PlayStation 4 may never get a real Monster Hunter game but this portable remaster is the next best thing, and a useful improvement on the PS Vita original.

The combat and computer-controlled allies are arguably better than Capcom's games; Decent graphics and surprisingly good AI; New content, weapons, and enemies are all to the good

Mission and enemy designs still suffer from a serious lack of variety; Throwaway story and a less intricately constructed world than Monster Hunter

Many titles have come out in attempts to capitalize on the success of Capcom's popular Monster Hunter franchise of games. Originally released last year on the Playstation Vita, Toukiden: The Age of Demons was Tecmo Koei's admirable attempt at replicating Capcom's effective game formula.

Platform reviewed: PS4 Toukiden Kiwami is a remake of the original PlayStation Vita classic, Toukiden, which itself started life as a PlayStation Portable/Vita title in Japan back in 2013. The game eventually made the transition to U.S.

When it comes to the ‘Monster Hunter' genre, I can't say I've ever been too bothered to invest much time in them. I didn't have any particular reason why because in all honesty, it sounds like it should be right up my alley.

Fancy a vacation? How about to the feudal eras of Japan? Well, you can get close enough in Toukiden: Kiwami , the sequel to Toukiden: Age Of Demons . Developed by Omega Force and published by KOEI TECMO, Toukiden: Kiwami places players in the role of a Slayer who goes to assist a village with their...

Doing so would also allow me to write more reviews, which was desirable since I've spent months barely covering anything at all. I was pleased with my new resolution.

At times this is really fun, but the other times, it can really drag and gets really same-y. There are quite a few bits to do in the town, but when you're off fighting monsters, a lot of the time you just kind of want it over asap.

All in all, Toukiden: Kiwami is an extremely fulfilling game to finish, and clocking in at least 80 hours for your playthrough is not at all skimpy. It's just that good too and really fun the whole way through.

In the war against the Oni, Japanese demons and devils, the human race is relegated to a region called the Midlands, struggling to keep themselves and their families safe. As a Slayer, the protector of humans and killer of the various forms of Oni, the player in Toukiden Kiwami must carry out quests...

Absolutely gorgeous presentation; Play can get mash-y; but always well controlled; Big "boss" monsters look badass

The AI is TOO good; making each mission too easy too often; Tags

Playing Toukiden: Kiwami, I found that I enjoyed it a lot more on my television than on my Vita. I think a lot of that has to do with how nice this game looks on the PS4. It's an attractive title that fills a Monster Hunter-esque niche quite well for console owners.
