Make meat with Toukiden 2's chain whip weapon

New information bleeds out of Tecmo on the latest fun we can have soon with Toukiden 2.

It offers a multitude of diverse weapons to suit any combat style, including swords, spears, knives, gauntlets, chain-sickles (kusarigama), bows, clubs, polearms, and rifles.

Two new weapons for the series include the good old Sword & Shield, a combination offering a solid blend of offence and defence, and the Chain Whip, which allows for fast-paced manoeuvers that can quickly tear apart Oni flesh. Each armament can be used for light and heavy attacks alike, and each offers special abilities that can be combined with the versatile Demon Hand to balance the scales of power when battling Oni.



Weapons can be personalised and enhanced with the assistance of the freed souls of fallen heroes, known as Mitama. Defeating larger foes will free Mitama from their Oni captors, and can then be used to empower the player’s weapon, armor, or the Demon Hand with boosts in Attack, Defence, Speed, Healing, and Control.

New to the Toukiden series, the element of Control specialises in summoning Oni to fight for the player! Once summoned, subservient Oni will attack incoming foes as well as act as a decoy to help escape an enemy’s grasp.
