![]() Split across eight chapters, Demon Slayer’s campaign plays out via a mixture of light exploration and arena combat. Thankfully, Demon Slayer’s story mode is a substantial effort and worth the price of admission alone. I’m a sucker for single-player content in my fighting games these days, given my reactions and time to dedicate to learning a game’s combat have both diminished greatly over time, leaving me wanting greatly when playing online. ![]() CyberConnect2’s work in bringing this narrative over to a video game format is, in fact so stellar, that you could honestly just play Demon Slayer and still be as ready for the incoming second season of the anime as someone who has watched the first season.Īs mentioned above, you’ll experience the narrative whilst playing through Demon Slayer’s substantial story mode. Whilst fans of the anime are always going to get more out of Demon Slayer due to their attachment to the characters and source material, total franchise newbies can absolutely expect a complete experience. You’ll recreate famous fight scenes from the show, and also encounter the majority, if not all, of the major plot beats, either through beautifully rendered in-game cutscenes or via the acquisition of optional memory fragments which replay famous moments from the show’s 26 episodes and subsequent movie. Secondly, if you haven’t had the pleasure of watching the anime, this video game adaptation of Demon Slayer is a pretty great jumping-on point for the franchise. Firstly, anyone who is coming to Demon Slayer, having already watched the anime, or read the manga, will already be very familiar with how Tanjiro’s story plays out, such is the faithfulness to the source material. I won’t delve much further into story details for a couple of reasons. This sets Tanjiro on a path that will change his life dramatically, as he joins the band of hunters known as the Demon Corp, whose job it is to protect humanity from the demon threat and their appetite for human flesh all whilst searching for the demon who turned his sister, in the hopes of being able to find a way to reverse her affliction. Only his sister, Nezuko Kamado, survives the attack as a result of having been turned into a demon herself. ![]() The narrative picks up with Tanjro Kamado, Demon Slayer’s main protagonist, returning home from work one day to find that his family has been slaughtered by a demon. Unsurprisingly given their previous body of work, Demon Slayer takes the form of a fast-paced arena fighter, using its substantial story mode to cover the “Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve” and “Mugen Train” story arcs, which fans of the anime will be familiar with. So with CyberConnect2 already having a pedigree in this space, let’s check out how they’ve faired with Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles (which I’ll totally just be referring to as Demon Slayer for the remainder of this review!). With CyberConnect2 already having considerable experience developing video game adaptations of popular anime, including Naruto, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Dragon Ball Z, it was perhaps inevitable that they would also be brought on board to handle the similarly combat-heavy universe of Demon Slayer.
