In many ways, Toukiden feels like a friendlier MH with some of the fiddlier bits (Good and bad) stripped out to ease the learning curve a little. Hopefully they have something Gunlance-ish for the sequel because explosions are my favorite weapon. It's very MH-esque while still being its own thing. Sharpness is not a thing, so that's one less thing to keep track of. There's no weapon holstered/weapon drawn stance and AFAIK, you don't use stamina faster when running away from a monster, so players have a lot more mobility options than in MH where there's various drawbacks to consider. No item usage/management is a nice change even though I'm very used to MH management. Although I very much love some of MH's fiddlier bits, it's still a great MH-esque game without them. I really like how different the weapons are. I'm sure it'll probably get more weapons if Toukiden becomes a big franchise but right now, they've got everything covered. I also love the upwards mobility options because it means big monsters are much less a pain where you're nipping at their legs and prioritizing attacks with a ton of reach, so there probably won't be anything as annoying as cutting off Diablos' tail.

Awesome! posted:Tried out the longsword a little more tonight and learned that you can combo from a 7-hit chain into the x+square side swipe thing and directly into another 7-hit chain indefinitely. The O+X slash is pretty important because you can combo almost anything into it and just start another combo afterwards. This saves on having to dodge attacks or otherwise stop attacking.

Combine that and might+carnage and the manhunter didn't know what hit it. Also I learned that some weapons (and maybe armor?) do seem to have a MH-like upgrade path in addition to fortify which is nice. I thought it was just fortify at first.
