Demo for Toukiden: Kiwami Arriving on PlayStation Network Later this Month

Koei Tecmo has announced a new demo for their upcoming game Toukiden: Kiwami is coming soon to PlayStation Network for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. The demo will release on March 25, 2015 and will offer players two distinct game modes including the first two introductory chapters of the game and more special missions designed for those that have played other games in the series including the most recent release of Toukiden: The Age of Demons. The latter will offer extremely challenging objectives that may be too much for new players to complete. The full release of Toukiden: Kiwami is scheduled to arrive on March 31, 2015. Read on and check out a new weapons trailer for the game below to see the upcoming title in action.

In the deeply rich world of Toukiden: Kiwami, Demons (Oni) have hid in the shadows aiming to torment mankind. Through history, a secret caste of warriors, the Slayers, have been trained to dispose of the demonic threat before it could consume the world. However, an event called the ‘Awakening’ caused rifts to appear in space and time, causing places that had long disappeared from the world to resurface, unleashing hordes of demons that relentlessly drive hunted humans.

These demons would consume the souls of those they killed and imprison the ones of brave heroes. Using their souls, Oni can regenerate at a rapid rate and only Slayers are trained in the proper way to battle them.

As the extinction of humanity was not far from reality, the Slayers opened their villages as sanctuaries, to protect those who escaped, and provided a last line of defense against the horror.

The player’s role is to complete various missions, strengthen his relationships with the other warriors in the village and eventually start battling the largest of the Oni to banish them back to their dimension and free the souls of the heroes they’ve trapped. In turn, when these souls are free, they stay with the player and provide him with a variety of equipable abilities for his weapons.
