Toukiden (討鬼伝) is a 2013 video game developed by Omega Force for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita.[2] It was released on June 27, 2013 in Japan.[3] Tecmo Koei showcased the PlayStation Vita version of the game at E3 2013.
Development
Toukiden was revealed during Sony's TGS 2012 keynote.[4] The game is developed as a collaboration between Koei and Sony Computer Entertainment Japan; Team Ninja is also involved in the development of the project. Character designs and illustrations were created by Hidari, and the music is composed by Hideki Sakamoto.
Setting
The game is set in a fantasy world with medieval Japanese themes. Warriors known as mononofu (モノノフ) specialise in fighting oni form teams and hunt them. Eight years prior to the commencement of the story, a great demon emerged from the underworld and brought an era of calamity to the land of Nakatsu Kuni, which was traditionally protected by the mononofu since ancient times. The protagonist and main characters reside at Utakata Village, one of the final lines of defense against the demons.
Gameplay
Toukiden is a third-person monster hunting game which employs groups of players or NPCs fighting together against various monsters during quests. Each player can customize their choice of weapons, armor and skills. Special abilities can be obtained through the usage of souls, or mitama, which can be collected during the progress of the game. These mitama can level up by gaining experience from battles, or by paying a certain sum of haku. Different mitama have abilities with various characteristics, and can be categorised into various groups such as offensive, defensive, or recovery mitama. Upon slaying a monster, the players or NPCs can "purify" the monster, which collects items useful in upgrading weapons and armor. Monsters fall into the categories of small and large oni, with large oni being the boss-type enemies within the game.
Players can engage in missions co-operatively via an ad-hoc WiFi connection, or over the internet. Additional missions will be available in the future, in the form of downloadable content.[5]
Media
Manga
Toukiden Woniuchi, a manga prequel of Toukiden, began serialization as an e-book on Sony's Reader Store starting on June 26, 2013. Urasuke Ayano is writing and drawing the story that takes place several years before Tarō Diffendorfer's scenario. Five chapters are currently planned, and they will be released monthly. The seventh volume of Kadokawa Shoten's Samurai Ace magazine, which shipped on Wednesday, will contain a preview of the first chapter and a chapter 0. The issue also contained a code for a mask that can be used in the game.[6]
Other Media
A 4.23 Minute animated promotional trailer was made for the game by Studio 4°C.[7]
Reception
The PlayStation Vita version of Toukiden sold 122,794 units within the first week of release, taking second place for all videogame sales in Japan, behind Gundam Breaker on the PlayStation 3 which debuted within the same week and sold 200,564 units. The same week also saw a spike in PlayStation Vita system sales, with 31,271 consoles sold, a significant increase over the 13,422 consoles sold during the previous week. The PlayStation Portable version of Toukiden sold 66,016 units within the same week.[8][9] Total game sales were 300,000 units for the month of June 2013.[10]
