Kiwami’s new story starts three months after the conclusion of the original Toukiden with a deeper introduction into the intricate hierarchy of the Slayer organisation. Players are introduced to an elite slayer unit, ‘the Hundred Demon Corps.’ and their heroic Captain, Soma. Soma has made a name for himself during the wars of the Awakening and is now leading the Third Company to the Utakata Village to re-enforce their resistance against Oni coming from the north. His weapon of choice is an enormous spiked club and he wields it with such bravery and conviction that it has earned him the unwavering loyalty of his men.
With him travels Reki, a young slayer with an uncanny proficiency in the naginata. Reki was send from the Village of Shiranui to join the ‘Hundred Demon Corps’ and has quickly proven herself composed, focused and cool in a fight.
The last of the new Slayer characters that join the roster in Toukiden: Kiwami is the sweet yet mysterious Horo; a girl with little memory of her past who suddenly appeared in Utakata and took up the fight against the Oni. Horo brings with her an exciting new weapon addition to the Toukiden armory: an oversized rifle. Despite its size, the rifle is a weapon of great strength and accuracy and it provides a great long-ranged alternative to bows as it fires both rounds and grenades.
Apart from the new weapons and character additions, Toukiden: Kiwami also includes an increased number of Mitama (300 in total, up from 200 in the previous title). Mitama are the freed souls of fallen heroes who remain to assist the slayers in their fight. The souls can be equipped by the player and their powers can be upgraded up to 12 levels (two more than in ‘the Age of Demons’). Fully levelling up a Mitama gives access to extra boosts and powers that will help the player survive through the challenges of the treacherous hunts.

Carrying over save data to the full version
Save data can be carried over to the full version from both the demo version of "Toukiden: Kiwami," and from the full version of "Toukiden: The Age of Demons." Select one of the three save data slots in the full version of "Toukiden: Kiwami" to which you wish to carry over each item of save data.
(Example)
"Toukiden: The Age of Demons" slot 1 save data Carry over to "Toukiden: Kiwami" slot 1
"Toukiden: Kiwami - Demo" save data Carry over to "Toukiden: Kiwami" slot 2
"Toukiden: The Age of Demons" slot 2 save dataCarry over to ""Toukiden: Kiwami" slot 3"
Note that special features obtained by completing "special missions" in the "Toukiden: Kiwami - Demo" will be usable in all save slots, so it is to your advantage to play these missions as often as possible.
"Special missions" difficulty level
"The "special missions" have been designed to provide a challenge for those players who have already completed "Toukiden: The Age of Demons." It is for this reason that the difficulty levels of these missions have been set fairly high, and equipment and Mitama usage has been restricted.
For those players who have never before played a game in the "Toukiden" series, these missions may be too difficult at first. However, the full version increases the difficulty of missions in a much more gradual manner, and even more difficult stages can be cleared after powering up your equipment and Mitama.
Please note also that the special features available from clearing the "special missions" can be claimed even after progressing through the full version of the game. For players who would like to obtain these features, but feel the special missions are just too difficult, it would be a good idea to play the full version for a while to develop your skills, and try the special missions again later.
