The protagonist and main characters reside at Utakata Village, one of the final lines of defense against the demons. Eight years prior to the commencement of the story, a great demon emerged from the underworld and brought an era of calamity to the land of Nakatsu Kuni, which was traditionally protected by the mononofu since ancient times. Warriors known as mononofu ( モノノフ, localised as "slayer" in the western release) specialise in fighting oni, and form teams to hunt them. The game is set in a fantasy world with medieval Japanese themes, particularly regarding Shinto. Additional missions are available in the form of downloadable content. Players can engage in missions co-operatively via an ad-hoc WiFi connection, or over the internet.

Monsters fall into the categories of small and large oni, with large oni being the boss-type enemies within the game. Upon slaying a monster, the players or NPCs can "purify" the monster, which collects items useful in upgrading weapons and armor. Different mitama have abilities with various characteristics, and can be categorised into various groups such as offensive, defensive, or recovery mitama.

These mitama can level up by gaining experience from battles, or by paying a certain sum of haku. Special abilities can be obtained through the usage of souls, or mitama, which can be collected during the progress of the game. Each player can customize their choice of weapons, armor and skills. Toukiden is a third-person monster hunting game which employs groups of players or NPCs fighting together against various monsters during quests. In-game screenshot showing the combat interface
