Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles Review

Demon Slayer: Kimestsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is a wonderful retelling of the already excellent Demon Slayer anime and an impressive arena fighter, but its held back by a small roster and inconsistent story mode.

Imagine if they made an rpg style game where you create your own demon slayer and chose your own breathing style etc. They could make it really interesting by making it that you have to rise up from all the demon slayer ranks to become a hashira!

Basically, it’s Storm 1. Great promise, just smaller in a lot of areas. If they keep going with it, it’ll become easily as popular and fantastic as the storm series

Guess we'll wait a bit longer when it goes down to a more reasonable pricing, game looks too small to justify the pricing but it does look nice.

It bothers that anime games have so much potential... but they all end up just being generic fighting games.

[wolfbrigade]

People constantly out here saying that it's just Naruto Storm with a Demon Slayer skin. And how exactly is that a bad thing? The storm series is by far the best arena fighter when it's about anime games.

Hopefully CC2 will one day make a game like this for Bleach

That academy zenitsu ultimate looks great lol

He forgets to mention that the campaign is heavily censored, every single one of the bloodier scenes is either censored or removed completely, such as the guy being flung out of the window of Kyogai’s house, Nezuko’s hand nearly being cut off, Rui’s sister being beheaded and others. So that’s pretty annoying that a lot of iconic scenes are removed, and also the entire final Rengoku fight scene is blocked if u try to stream on PS5. And all of the collectible cut scenes are blocked and unstreamable too.

this is how the combat gameplay should’ve been like for MHA ones justice 2

For those who loved Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, I think you’ll like this game too.

[akky]

dont forget as the anime progresses, more characters and story mode will be added

[okihida]

Wow even the font is naruto ultimate ninja storm assets.

This was helpful, great review .. not in a rush to get the game, but definitely visually appealing! at least there's Season 2 of the anime to watch for now

[kevinmichael]

This game actually looks pretty amazing!

[deshaunfortune]

Sounds like this is an anime arena fighter with some actual depth to its combat. We come ever closer to perfection.

[carmelshizzle]

How amazing would a AAA demon slayer game be?…. Like a final fantasy 7 remake style rpg? So much potential.

[metophos]

the only reason it isn’t as big as it should be is because the anime hasn’t gotten very far yet. as someone who’s read the manga, i’m very excited for hinokami chronicles 2

[kingjokercristiangonzalez]

Its pretty much tha storm series, how they started🤷🏽‍♂️ this game has room to grow jus like they did so this game is most likely gonna be great to play

[rickytran]

18 characters is a small roster??? Does IGN expect all the spoilers when season 2 just released a few weeks ago?

[LARSTAKA-]

The devs made so many storm games and they never bother balancing characters to not be op. If you are going to buy this game for the pvp, keep that in mind. If you are buying it for story, you should wait for a discounr.
