From the review, "Toukiden begins with players learning their character is a supernaturally strong man or woman with abilities that will make him or her a valuable Slayer. (No, this isn’t Sunnyville and there’s no Buffy.) Monstrous and fiendish Oni are attacking innocent people and taking over more and more land, and it’s up to these warriors known as Slayers to drive them back."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "A recent piece of news doing the rounds revealed the PlayStation Vita’s top 10 selling games in the United States of America, and it makes for some grim reading. While Uncharted: Golden Abyss rightfully tops the list, it only managed to shift a little more than 400k copies in the States, which is low by the series’ standards and paints a dire picture overall given that it's above all other AAA titles on the list, including Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, and Ki llzone Mercenary (although it’s worth noting that this top 10 doesn’t include any bundled software, otherwise Borderlands 2 would be at the top and Call of Duty at #2)."
I would think Uncharted Abyss and Killzone Mercenaries should be included in the list.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "the handheld was unable to attract certain types of software – western AAA development quickly evaporated, as did Sony’s own support, because there weren’t enough consoles out there for such titles to be profitable. But that doesn’t mean that every publisher failed to find success. Indeed, there are a number of franchises out there that have been able to appeal to the Vita’s niche and which have seen positive sales numbers and critical reception, leading to them becoming mainstays on the handheld.
It’s these series that I intend to examine in more depth this article – what they are, what entries we’ve seen, what success they’ve had, and what it’s meant for the console’s future. I’ll be using known sales figures where possible to back things up, hopefully demonstrating that the Vita has been a solid home for a number of great series despite its otherwise weak commercial performance on the market."
In this exclusive interview with Toukiden Kiwami producer Takashi Morinaka, he explains what's new about this updated version of Toukiden: The Age Of Demons
one of my most anticipated game this year
"Currently, we are considering a variety of Toukiden Kiwami series."
YES!
Same view here. I couldn't get into MH or others but this one is a keeper.
Perhaps that is my problem, I'm a long term MH player and I found this game overly simplified and grew bored during the demo. I've ordered the full game anyway and it's on it's way, I'm hoping the action heats up further in.
Sounds good to me. my problem with monster hunter was just the ludicrous amount of time required for grinding. Want new armor? That will be 3 hours, and it will become obsolete as soon as you use it to beat a boss.
