Toukiden (Vita/PSP by Omega Force) site opens + screenshots!
- Thread starter gembel
- Start date
looks gorgeous.5 copies min.
It appears that some people already got the game, according to this player, there is 12 boss monsters + 12 palette/color swap, overall 24 boss monsters, not so bad for a new IP, though I personally wish there are more. 2 more days, and the game is officially out, can't wait for see more impression from Japanese player =P
That's a web anime. Seems it's getting a manga series though.

IMO I feel that they can add different color on the front of ps vita, to make it more special, on the other hand the back is beautiful.

Yup, think this is going to be day 1 for me too when it comes over to the US.

I got the game and am enjoying it. Looks nice on the VITA too.
Still cant decide what to go as with my main weapon. The katana is the easiest to use, all the others will take some time getting used to

Cool =), can you tell us more about your impression on the game mechanic and the depth of customization level? I would love to play the game, but since I can't read Japanese, I'm waiting for US release.
.
Since a few people here got the game (including me), maybe we should make an Import Impressions thread, like with Soul Sacrifice.
My screenshots so far.

Looks pretty good. I'll definitely pick this up when it comes out in the US.
The games looks great, but quite a few locales so far felt pretty bland. I hope it's get better later, since I'm only in chapter 2.
Japanese people seems to be really liking this game. Really good reviews on amazon

Ha ha, yeah. That's what made me buy the game - I was checking both Gundam Breaker and Toukiden's reviews on Thursday and the latter were surprisingly positive.
I've finished the second chapter yesterday. It's a good game, but still has all the off-putting elements of the hunting genre - having to kill the same stuff over and over and over again with the area being the only difference... And that's just story mode.
If you can stomach that and are a fan of games with the high level of polish, you should definitely grab this title.
Some of the later locales:

While I know you're just a drive-by poster, junior, let's humor you. There's a demo of Toukiden on PSN. Have you played it? Have you even played any of the PSP/Vita Monhan clones? Most of them feature gameplay elements that would be really sick if Capcpom implemented them into MH.

I'll gladly eat crow based on my earlier impressions from the first demo.
Having a lot of fun with the final game.

I've never played a Monster Hunter game, but I've really enjoyed the "Monster Hunter clones" I've played.

Id be all for an impressions thread. Most def
Btw does the game allow for over the internet play? Never tried that yet, but since you are in the same country figured might be one way to get a small online group going to runaround causing mayhem lol. I need to advance a bit more in the game as am still running around with the newbie armor set. Though got myself a flame katana currently.
There is online mp, but there were a lot of complaints that it's bugged.
I tried searching for a room yesterday around 2AM and 2 minutes ago (4PM), but the search showed maybe 6-7 rooms from which 2 didn't have passwords and I failed to join both of them.
Quick Search does nothing, lol.
I hope they'll patch it asap, if it's a software problem.

Damn thats too bad. D: Seriously do hope that it gets patched since the game is all about co-op after all! At least this has a SP story to go along with it unlike MH where its FOREVER ALONE if you arent co-oping it haha.
So who here is gonna start up the impressions thread?
Or we gonna take this one over as it?
Has there been any news on how this has been selling?
yep, that's a vita
I don't have the game either as I'm waiting for the US release, guess we will just have to wait =P.

From what I read this game seems to be selling well and has gotten good reviews. Can this fill the Monster Hunter void on the Vita?!

So, how good is it compared to Monahan? Bought a Vita at the weekend for Soul Sacrifice and Dragon's Crown. And I'm interested in this as well.
Will basic nihongo do?

Id do an impression thread, but am a bit too stuck with other titles in the backlog so am more behind in the game than the other guys here. Can tell they are much farther from the screenshots shown.
I've sold my copy on Sunday. The production values were high, but the repetition is what kills the whole hunting genre for me. After having to kill the same boss for the 5th or 6th time in the story, I quit.
The fact that the multiplayer still seems to be bugged didn't help it - I tried connecting to various people around 10 times, but couldn't enter any room.
It's a good game, just not for me.

I wrote up some impressions in here: http://www.japanator.com/go-west-week-fifty-one-the-floodgates-open-28987.phtml
I've really been digging it so far. About ten hours into it.
Still can't get over how pretty the character models are.

Haha. Get that nonsense out of here.
Thanks for the impression =), I have been following this game since the first demo, which is indeed bad, but strangely it's also the one that make me interested in this game. Having try all the demo myself and hearing all these impressions for the full game, I can't wait for this game to come to the west (in retail format please XD).

Though at least Soul Sacrifice as much as I hate that game is giving out a bunch of free DLC that added new monsters.
The hunting genre itself gameplay is repetitive due to having to harvest mats for upgrading equipment. So if its something fresh that you want, this really isnt something Id suggest buying.
While all the weapons are quite distinct, its still to the core hunting action, which means doing a lot of the same over and over while enjoying the gameplay. But at least there is a story to go along with it too just like Soul Sacrifice.
Just did a quick look at a Japanese wiki for the game and there seems to be 21 types of large monsters. Which are considered the boss class I suppose. Though within the 21 there are some doubled up types with the elemental resistances being different. So numbers of actual original ones are lower than 21. Not really surprising since most games of this genre usually start out low in count with unique boss types anyways. But the quality in this title is most def here and does not feel as half baked as Soul Sacrifice did to me. Which was one of the reasons why I wound up selling the game even as much as I really did like the story and boss monster designs.
