Toukiden screenshots and character art turn up

Toukiden monster

Toukiden, the Vita action title in the works from Omega Force, has a new batch of screenshots and character art – some of which were shown recently in a scan – available for full on drooling. The four-player brawler is a historical hunting game, where your character, a demon hunter, needs to target specific body parts in order to purify the forces of evil. Awesome. Still no idea if it is heading west or not, but head on over to AGB and look for as long as you like at the screenshot goodness. It’s out in Japan in June.
