❤ Weapon Types and Playstyles

Players can choose from 11 distinct weapon types, each with its own unique moveset and combat style. The selection includes swords, dual knives, spears, gauntlets, bows, and more. Beyond the base weapon, players can further customize their abilities by equipping "mitama" - special spirits that provide various combat bonuses and skills. This allows for a high degree of playstyle personalization.

❤ Dynamic, Targeted Combat

The fast-paced, action-oriented combat encourages players to strategically target and destroy the limbs and body parts of massive "Oni" monsters. Severing these vulnerable areas both weakens the creature and yields important crafting materials. Players can chain together various attacks, combos, and special abilities to take down their foes. The "Demon Hand" grappling hook mechanic enables more dynamic movement, allowing players to reposition rapidly or execute aerial strikes.

❤ Useful AI Companions

Players can bring AI-controlled companion characters into battle to assist them. Each companion specializes in a particular weapon type and has their own Mitama loadout, letting players assemble a team that complements their own playstyle. The companions are generally praised for being competent and contributing meaningfully to combat encounters.

❤ Deep Progression and Customization

As players defeat Oni and gather resources, they can craft and upgrade increasingly powerful weapons and armor. The in-depth Mitama system provides a great deal of flexibility, with players able to experiment with different Mitama combinations to fine-tune their character's abilities. This, combined with the variety of weapon types, allows for a high degree of customization to suit individual preferences.

❤ Challenging and Rewarding Hunts

While the combat is described as faster-paced than the Monster Hunter series, it still provides a challenging and satisfying experience. Larger Oni can be formidable opponents, requiring players to carefully manage their resources and coordinate their attacks. Overcoming these powerful foes offers a strong sense of accomplishment, making the combat loop rewarding for players.
