Toukiden: Age of Demons Launches Today

Toukiden: Age of Demons, the monster hunting game developed and published by Tecmo for the PSP and PS Vita in Japan, is finally hitting western shores today exclusively on the Vita.

Telling a story steeped in Japanese history and mythos, about an invasion by a demonic horde that must be held at bay, Toukiden tests the player’s skill to the max in frenetic, and yet deliberate action that can be enjoyed either alone or with friends (locally and online). Unlike most other games in its genre, Toukiden places emphasis on storytelling, providing some context to the beasts that you slay.

Toukiden: Age of Demons is a long game, with hours upon hours of content, and might actually go down as one of the best purchases available on the platform yet- look forward to our official review for the game in the coming days to find out exactly how well it holds up, especially against genre behemoth Monster Hunter on the 3DS.
