History VideoGame / ToukenRanbu

''Touken Ranbu'' (刀剣乱舞, literally "Wild Swords Dance") is a free-to-play browser CollectibleCardGame developed by Creator/{{Nitroplus}}, featuring an RNG-controlled turn-based game revolving around the AnthropomorphicPersonification of historical Japanese objects. Wait, this is sounding [[VideoGame/KantaiCollection suspiciously familiar]]...

Players assume the role of a sage, referred to as ''Saniwa'', who travels back to the past to destroy an evil that wants to change the course of history. Being a sage, you have the ability to bring [[AnimateInanimateObject inanimate objects to life]]--in this case, historically famous Japanese swords, all of which take on the forms of [[{{Bishonen}} handsome]] [[{{Hunk}} young]] [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys men]] called ''Touken Danshi'' (刀剣男士, lit "sword warriors"). The object of the game is to bring the swords to life, create an army of them, and defeat the enemies. Battles are largely automated and manual actions by the player include smithing, repairing and creating troops.

The game officially launched on January 14, 2015 and is hosted on DMM (the same home of said above-mentioned [[VideoGame/KantaiCollection suspiciously similar game]]). While being nearly identical to its predecessor save for a few key mechanics (something both fanbases quickly embraced, to the point where this game is considered [=KanColle=]'s SpearCounterpart), the playerbase exploded to the point where a full-on doujinshi event opened for it only ''two months'' after the game's initial opening. It has a [[Characters/ToukenRanbu character page]] that needs more love.

* MagikarpPower: '''Iwatooshi'''. He's the (as of this writing) only naginata-type sword with the ability to hit the ''entire opponent'' party at once...at the price of an aggravatingly slow damage to level-up ratio curve (to the point where even after his rank-up at level 25, he'll still regularly be doing only one point of damage per opponent).

* DistaffCounterpart: The game is essentially this to ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'', which is hosted on the same website.

* SlipknotPonytail: This can result for swords with longer hair if they take enough damage.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Despite being extremely similar to ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'', players of both games are suspect to get thrown off by the minor differences, the most significant probably being that while in [=KanColle=] ships can only be LostForever if they're sent forward in critical damage, in this game - to the horror of some unsuspecting saniwa - swords can be destroyed at theoretically ''any degree of damage'' provided certain factors.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Since the game takes place in a country and time period where long hair on men was normal, plenty of the characters are this.

* {{Hunk}}: If the sword isn't a {{Bishonen}}, then they'll be this.
