![]() Sometimes you'll even come across other slayers in battle, and by helping them, they'll temporary join you in your fight against the Oni. These areas are an absolute joy to explore - you never know quite what you'll find. There are seven different open areas to explore, and each one is beautiful, boasting its own unique style. To begin with you can't explore too far, but by defeating the resident Oni you slowly begin to purify the land. The Otherworld is filled with a poisonous miasma that slowly kills any who venture into it for too long. Of course, once you do find your preferred playstyle it's time to explore the Otherworld and kick some Oni ass. We definitely recommend that you take full advantage of the training tutorials and spend an hour or two trying various different weapons to find the playstyle that suits you best. Fortunately, you're not tied down to any of the choices that you make, and you're free to change whenever you want. It's great to have so much choice in how to play through the game, but when you're just trying to steady yourself in a brand new adventure, it's a bit much. With 11 different weapon types to choose from and numerous different battle styles, skills, and boosts, trying to work out what everything does and what the best set-up is can feel overwhelming. There's an awful lot to get to grips with at the beginning of the game. The characters are well written and likeable, and we found ourselves pushing forward with story quests to find out what happens next, and to see the main characters interact with each other. That said, it does have really good pacing throughout, and it never feels like there's pointless padding. The story set-up is interesting, but it plays out in a mostly predictable fashion. It doesn't take long for you to make friends and gain allies in the fight against the Oni. You'll also get to work alongside her number one assistant Tokitsugu, who looks like a steampunk version of Final Fantasy IX's Vivi. The Professor is researching an ancient technology known as Machina, and agrees to share some of her knowledge with you if you help. Tensions have been increasing in the village as the time to select a new chief grows near, especially as both the leader of the Guards and the leader of the Samurai are up for consideration of the role.Īmidst the backdrop of all this tension you arrive in the village and start working for a woman known as the Professor as her assistant. The last village chief died during a battle a couple of years ago and since then, there's been no successor. The Insiders, led by the Guards, are people who were a part of the village before the Oni came, while The Outsiders, led by the Samurai, are people who came to reside there after the great 'Awakening' of the Oni. There are two main factions in the village. The village has managed to survive so far because it's protected by a barrier created by a Shrine Maiden, which prevents any Oni from getting through.Ĭonsidering there's imminent death and destruction waiting just outside, humans are doing what they do best and fighting amongst themselves. Mahoraba village is one of these few remaining places it's surrounded by the Otherworld, which is land where the Oni live and time has been warped beyond recognition. Most of humanity has been wiped out, but there are a few places left that act as the last bastions of mankind. It turns out that you're not in Yokohama anymore: you've actually woken up in a place far away, and as if that wasn't bad enough, ten years have passed and you've lost your memory of everything that happened before the battle. You're then found lying unconscious in the woods and taken to a nearby village. During a battle against a giant, fearsome Oni, you get sucked up into a big storm and sent through an Oni gate. You are one of these Demon Slayers and, after a simple bit of character creation, you get to join the fight. However, things aren't looking good as the Oni are on the rampage and the city burns. ![]() There is a plan to stop their advance in Yokohama by leading a force of Demon Slayers against them. Monsters known as Oni have wreaked havoc across the world of man and are advancing down from the North. Toukiden 2 begins with a huge battle in Yokohama.
