Toukiden / Toukiden Extreme

Next, they show the powerful new co-op attack, the Extreme Destroyer, that is pretty much a stronger version of the Destroyer, but it lets you gather you allies together to power up the character for way more damage.

Toukiden Extreme also introduces two new Mitama styles with “Devotion” which specializes in providing support to the allies, and “Destruction,” as the name implies, excels at breaking parts off the giant Oni.

At 2:20, we get to see some new allies, enemies and familiar faces who’ll all be part of the new story. According to earlier reports, will have a volume that is said to be just as long as the main story from the first game, making it twice as long as before.

The trailer ends with a look at the adorable fox Tenko, who’ll also have the ability to equip and level up Mitama, among other new tricks.

The first new character is named Soma, a Kanabo-wielder who is the captain of the third “Hundred Oni Corps”. Next up is Holo the gun-wielder, a mysterious young girl who seems to have lost her memories.

Unlike the spear, the Naginata will excel in pulling off combo attacks. It will also have a feature that allows wielders to ward off enemy hits.

The Kanabo, a spiked or knobbed club, won’t have much speed, but it’ll more than make up for it with its superior range and power. Hitting enemies with the tip of the Kanabo increases the damage output, and continuously doing so will make it go even higher for a certain amount of time. The Kanabo will also have a feature that lets you repel enemy attacks.

Finally, the gun has a neat feature that lets you get into stance to see the target’s weak spots, and shooting at them will increase its power. Gun-wielders will have access to several types of bullets, and will also be able to throw bombs. Shooting said bombs can have different effects depending on the type of bullet you use.

Finally, the Destroyer feature in Toukiden, that unleashed a powerful attack to defeat smaller enemies in a single blow or sever the body parts of larger ones, will be getting an upgrade, called “Extreme Destroyer,” which will let you destroy multiple body parts of the oni.

The first weapon they show is the Long Sword, which will get its mystical “Katanakizu” energy ability enhanced with more power. However, this will cost more stamina, and can be performed by holding down the circle button.

Long Swords will also get a new action that allows you to stand still to draw the blade, then hit with a vertical slash, while staying in place. Meanwhile, the Twin Blades will get more varieties to their aerial attacks, along with newer ways to approach and jump onto large enemies.

Spears can now be used to parry or stop enemy attacks after charging up one full stage. The Gauntlets also gets an extra boost in Toukiden Extreme, as they now let your character bust out in a reddish state, followed by an explosive extra damage from the fists.

The chain-and-sickle Kusarigama weapon also gets an aerial upgrade like the Twin Blades, except for this one, the development team has made adjustments so players won’t be as vulnerable in mid-air.

Finally, an interesting new ability for the Bow will have your stamina drain down with decreased mobility, in exchange for extra power. You can also check out some more of the game’s new weapons, starting at the 3:38 mark of the video.

Toukiden Extreme will bring two new Mitama styles, with “Destruction” and “Devotion”. More details on the new Mitama battle styles will be available once this week’s Famitsu magazine gets published.

Possible to switch mitama skills freely.

According to the update, the “Newborn Tenko” system allows you to equip her with a Mitama. The equipped Mitama will gain experience, as well.

If a player goes to the same area where Tenko was dispatched, she’ll also appear to show some support for her master.

Additionally, you can give Tenko treats to change her “mood,” body color, and her cry. Depending on her mood, the amount of materials she can bring back will vary. There are also special effects that go with the type of attire that is being worn.

I'm going to put a ridiculous amount of time into this game so it deserves a topic.

I enjoyed the demo.  I think i'm going to try the dual blades in general and the bow when we're cooping depending on what we're fighting because that weapon seems like it will be more awkward to use than most coop, although I might just have a poor idea of how much damage weapons do or how to use them properly.
