Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! Reviews
If you're a die-hard Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba fan, you and your friends might find enough enjoyment in Demon Slayer – Sweep the Board to get you through a game or two. However, the underwhelming and forgettable minigames, glacial pace of the gameplay, and connection issues that made online play unusable for us greatly overshadowed this party game's positive points.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! is for a very specific target audience, but others may find it all a bit too baffling.
Online multiplayer is supported and you can play the minigames standalone if you like. Additionally, a raffle mechanic allows you to unlock profile customisation items. But ultimately your enjoyment will come down to how much you want a Mario Party game on your PS5, because right now, this is your only option.
I would only recommend it to people who are fans of party video games, but at once they should keep in mind that it is not even going to reach the levels of fun that a Mario one can provide us. Honestly, I would think twice before buying it, especially because a much better product will arrive in October for Switch.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! offers a unique take on party board games and anime-based games in general. It's an easy recommendation for fans of the series, but those simply seeking a truly fresh spin on a somewhat perfunctory formula should enjoy it regardless of their mastered breathing style.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep The Board! appeals to a very specific type of player: someone who's already a big fan of the series and also loves digital board games. The concept is fine, and the day/night cycle and demon fights make this an intriguing party game. That said, between the mediocre collection of minigames, small board selection, unfair CPU characters, and poor online performance, there's not much to keep players interested for very long. It's not a terrible party game, but you'll only be tempted to grab it if you really, really need to play a party game.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board! It may even seem like a product dedicated to fans of the celebrated Oni hunter franchise, but it ends up being a poorly balanced copy of other games in the genre, without much to offer other than lukewarm fun for lazy family afternoons.

I am the target audience for Demon Slayer: Sweep The Board in that I’m both a Demon Slayer fan and the three Mario Party titles on the N64 Virtual Console on Switch are (by a significant margin) my most played titles on it. I got everything that I expected out of this game and had a lot of fun with it right throughout. In fact, with Mario Party itself in a weird kind of limbo of diminishing returns of late, perhaps we do need a new property to pick up the baton.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board!" is an interesting proposal for manga and anime fans who enjoy party games. The title features boards inspired by important locations from Demon Slayer and the saga's characteristic humor. Sadly, the minigames catalog is poor, and its battles against demons, while intense and enjoyable, cannot save the lack of variety that condemns it to a repetitive experience.

The core of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! may be very familiar yet it does so many clever things with the classic party game formula that it's a very worthwhile experience for a couchful of chums, especially if you're a fan of the franchise. 👹
Despite some flaws likely due to a low budget, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board has all the elements to become a fan favorite. With simple and fun gameplay mechanics, functional and varied mini-games, it hits the mark by creating an entertaining title. The option to choose the number of turns allows you to manage your time, whether for a short, medium, or long game, keeping you engaged for over an hour. It's a must for fans and lovers of peaceful yet dynamic party games, despite its graphical shortcomings that could have made it truly essential.

Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board adds some twists to the party board game formula, though its main mechanics could've been made more engaging by making them more competitive. Its mini-games could also be better as they're fairly easy. Still, the game should offer a good time for Demon Slayer fans, especially for in-person get-togethers.
Sweep the Board is a fun party game that’ll hold you and your family slash friends’ attention for the night. If you don’t have any of that, you could always go online and make new ones that way. But I think you’ll get most of your mileage out of this game by being a fan of Demon Slayer.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board brings a creative and lighter approach to the anime, ideal for those who want to explore the Demon Slayer universe in games with friends. Playing alone might make things a little more drawn out, but it's still a great option for anyone who is a fan of the saga and enjoys board games.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board successfully bridges the gap between the captivating world of the anime and the interactive realm of gaming. While it may draw comparisons to other board game adaptations like Mario Party, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board distinguishes itself with its meticulous attention to detail, engrossing narrative, and strategic depth, and set’s it apart.
Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board! is a fun interactive board game that fans of the series can enjoy. However, an underwhelming amount of mini games and restrictive issues online prevent it from competing at the top of the genre. Even so, this game is worth a roll.
Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board! is a straightforward but pleasant Mario Party-esque title that Demon Slayer fans will obviously get the most out of. The minigames and boards are full of neat ideas, and the unlockables give further incentive to replay boards alone or with friends. If you’re looking for a breezy board game with Demon Slayer theming, Sweep the Board! will get the job done.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board is a different enough party game that stands on its own. Sadly, it doesn't do enough to recommend playing it over its contemporaries. The world of Demon Slayer does a lot to carry the game forward and fill it with charm, but the minigames don't have as much going for them and lack variety. It is fun enough to recommend playing once with friends but not enough to play more than that.
All in all, if you like Demon Slayer and you like Mario Party, there’s a really good chance you’ll have fun with this game, as niche as this condition can be. At least for a little bit. Much like Mario Party though, it may just be saved for parties when you have people around to play with because it’s not exactly the most thrilling thing to play alone, and as mentioned already, you won’t be able to find people online to play with unless you’re really, really lucky.
Demon Slayer Sweep the Board is a pleasant surprise as demon slaying and party gaming go together better than one might have guessed.
