Toukiden Kiwami


Toukiden Kiwami (討鬼伝 極, Tōkiden Kiwami; roughly translated as "Legend of the Demon Slayers Extreme") is the direct sequel to Toukiden: The Age of Demons. Its development has been implied since the first game has been sold to the Japanese public.

Kenichi Ogasawara is the general producer and Takashi Morinaka is the producer. Kazutoshi Sekiguchi is the director. Kenji Tanigaki did the opening movie direction. Ogasawara and Morinaka implied that this title has been tweaked with fan feedback and will add more content for hunting game fans to enjoy.

Preordering the first print rewards Souma and Reki parts. The Treasure Box edition includes a Tenko doll, a picture book containing 3D renders, Hidari illustrations for the entire cast and side comics, a complete original soundtrack CD with bonus tracks, and downloadable parts of the first cast of Slayers. Various Japanese outlets are offering specific reservation bonuses. Consumers who purchase from Gamecity Shopping receive a Tenko pin badge. The Gamecity Set adds a comprehensive illustration book for the characters and demons and a Imihayahi washcloth.


Plot: 

The protagonist's home and its habitants have been protected and remains peaceful from the last conflict. Three months pass, and a new threat emerges in Nakatsu Kuni. Forces from the north have fallen against the demons and now seek refuge at Utakata Village. The protagonist must work together with these different factions to fight against the giant demon swarm.

Gameplay: 

Players who haven't played the first game can still experience the story scenarios in this entry; Kiwami's new scenarios begin in chapter 8. The general gameplay returns with the following known changes.

Slayers can use a team attack called "Onichigiri Kiwami" (鬼千切・極) to destroy multiple demon parts in one hit. It can be used once the new group "Unity Gauge" (共闘ゲージ) has been filled by either:

  • attacking the same target/body part with multiple party members.
  • purifying fallen demons/broken body parts with multiple comrades.
  • casting a group buff. Taunt adds to the gauge.
  • reviving fallen allies.
At least two Slayers must be adjacent to one another for the combination attack (Tri + Circle when conditions are met). The Unity Gauge is designed to build at a slower rate than individual Weapon Gauges to avoid overlapping the techniques.

Players in single player mode can order their NPC allies.

  • Attack (攻): orders ally to use everything they have to be offensive. Will not heal themselves.
  • Charge (任): default AI. Character has balanced attack and defensive movements.
  • Assist (援): uses individual's skill set to focus on healing and support abilities. 
  • Gather (集): selected comrade rushes towards the protagonist's side, making it easier to launch Onichigiri Kiwami. 
AI has been polished for both Mononofu (slayers) and Oni (demons). AI Slayers now vocally inform the player when the Unity Gauge is filled and when a giant demon has been completely stripped of parts. The number of Oni have doubled. Returning hunting grounds have a distinct area added to them and a third difficulty level (Kiwami).

New weapons so far include the spiked club, naginata, and rifle. Over 1,000 weapon models have been added. Over 100 new armor sets have been added. Over 100 new Mitama (souls) are available.

Tenko can equip a Mitama before leaving base and may randomly use its abilities to assist the player's team if they are in the same area. The player has to locate and contact it on the map for it to follow the party. When attacked by demons it teleports away for a few seconds. A new mood parameter affects its likelihood of retrieving rare goods. Players may choose to equip it with decorations to increase its findings or improve their pet's mood with food. Give it a meal for a high morale boost, dumplings to alter fur color, and candies to change the tone of its voice. Tenko related goods can be found at the Shop.

Utakata Village has aesthetically changed to reflect the autumn season. Slight adjustments have been made to its facilities:

  • Yuu may randomly offer one-time emergency missions. Mission details will be unknown and the demons will be tougher, but the loot is often better than normal missions. Any giant demon, including multiplayer exclusives, can be challenged.
  • Visit Shuusui to fight in randomly generated infinite or special missions. Infinite missions feature rounds of only giant demons which start off very weak but slowly boost their strength as more are defeated. These missions dramatically increases Mitama drop rate. Demon specific materials can only be collected from player avatar finishing blows; NPC Slayer kills nets common materials from any broken body part/demon corpse. Shuusui rewards victorious teams with haku and strengthening steel based on their progress. Any giant demon killed during these sessions count for town requests.
  • Shuusui's encyclopedia keeps all changes to character biographies and includes elemental and weapon weaknesses for giant demons.
  • A reserve Slayer can be sent away on a separate material gathering mission. Each character has their item rarity preferences.
  • The prayer box near the standard village exit for missions has been simplified to 100 haku (possible failure of acquiring a skill) and 500 haku (always successful) payments; later upgrades changes payments to 300 haku and 1,000 haku respectively. Players can select a specific category (attack, defense, etc.) for their skill before praying, and multiple prayers can upgrade it to include more categories. Multiplayer skills have been added.
  • Mitama can be equipped before entering the cleansing area. Players can select who they wish to see bathing in advance once the protagonist has reached a high friendship rating with a character. Both characters reward the player with one-mission-skills after the bathing.
  • Blacksmith uses Soul Steel to upgrade weapons and armor. These metals can instantly upgrade any phase of a weapon's development without interfering with an equipment's branching upgrades.
  • The Sacred Tree has additional development phases.
  • Bulletin board now keeps a history log of Tenko and mission data.
  • The outskirts of Utakata Village is a new hunting ground.
