Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles Reviews
A glossy if ultimately another shallow rendition of an anime; one that adds nothing to its source material nor the genre it's tackling. Kill la Kill -IF- remains the unbeaten standard

Guardians of the Night: Kimetsu No Yaiba – The Hinokomi Chronicles is the best way to relive the adventure of Tanjirō Kamado, with a fun playable system and a spectacular visual finish, which will be a real must for anime fans.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles covers the contents of the anime to the end of the Mugen Train arc, but this representation doesn't even work well for fans of the series.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles offers a great experience for anime fans in terms of narrating events and their fighting system, distinctive drawings and great music but with a limited number of characters and options that were not successful in the development of the story.

If you've played other fighting games from CyberConnect2, you shouldn't be surprised by anything that will appear in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles. The game perfectly fulfills its assumptions and can provide several hours of carefree combat in a universe breaking records of popularity.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles is far from being one of the most inventive games of the genre and brings several problems, such as the absence of game modes and content, laughable exploration and a gameplay model that doesn't appeal to everyone. Still, it's fluid, beautiful, responsive and a true aesthetic and narrative delight for fans of the franchise.

The Hinokami Chronicles is a fighter arena with a poor character roster at the time of its release, and an unorganic story mode. You will be forced to finish it only to see the cutscenes and unlock the characters, instead of exploring battle systems. But not everything is disappointing, as the art direction is incredible, with special attacks taken directly from the anime, and the inclusion of the original music is greatly appreciated.

While Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles isn't the game to get me into the genre, I can't deny that it runs well and is mostly fun to play. Fans of the Demon Slayer anime - or fighting games in general - will be happy with this pickup.
The developers succeed at making the game look and feel like Demon Slayer, but unfortunately that isn’t quite enough to make the game good enough for a universal recommendation. Hardcore fans will likely get a kick out of it, but for the more casual fans, this may be one to pick up on sale down the line.
There's respect there, and an understanding that Demon Slayer is more than a mindless series of fights, even if the gameplay system creaks with age and having been used for far too many other anime tie-ins. Mind you, if nothing else, being able to tear demons a new one with Nezuko has been something I've been looking forward to from day one with this anime, and if nothing else, CyberConnect2 delivered that.
Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is basically a game for the fans. Do you want to pick your favorite character and beat up your other characters? Or do you want to see scenes from the original story re-created in beautiful 3D? However, that is about all it offers. It's beautiful, plays well, accurately captures the source material, and that is the beginning and end. If you're curious about the uber-popular franchise, it's probably best to watch the anime or read the manga before diving in.
Great game for Demon Slayer fans, decent game for arena fighters fans.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles is a pretty great first video game entry for the Demon Slayer series. While it’s exploration and roster is a little thin, it’s presentation of the story and it’s flashy, engaging combat had me addicted to both it’s main adventure and online modes. I’m interested to see how the game expands and is balanced over time with new fighters continuing to be added in post release updates, but most of all I’m interested to see what features and tweaks can be implemented in a sequel.
Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is a faithful representation of the popular anime but it sticks to that path so strictly that it fails to expand beyond that framework into something more meaningful. Even with the game’s extra characters that add a little spice to the online lobbies or weekend fight nights, The Hinokami Chronicles needs more substance.
Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Chronicles of Hinokami is overly perfectionist for better and for worse. We will find an adaptation that borders on the cloned and that, for this reason, will miss the fluidity, the touch and the visual rigor that is capable of offering both the medium itself and the greatest virtues of the title

The main story beats are all here, just at a slower pace than I feel a fighting game should offer. Alternatively, if you already love Demon Slayer and can look past a few hours of sluggish not-fighting to get to some really fun and flashy combat with your favorite characters, then this is definitely the game for you.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is that rare anime game that has something for everyone. Established fans of the franchise get to play through a fantastic adaptation of the anime. Newcomers get a fantastic introduction to the anime franchise that took the world by storm. And people who don’t care about that at all and just want a fun flashy arena fighter to play around with get that in spades.
Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles manages to transform the stylish anime action into a good fighting game. In addition to the stunning visuals, the game has accessible systems capable of pleasing different audiences. Besides that, the story mode captivates by offering great recreations of important plot facts, even though the exploration snippets are a little boring. Like other anime adaptations, The Hinokami Chronicles suffers from superficial mechanics and limited diversity content - possibly a sequel will improve these aspects. In the end, Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is recommended for those looking for an uncompromising fighting title and for fans of the anime and manga.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles offers solid combat and is incredibly faithful to the source material but be prepared for poor online play and lackluster exploration.
The Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba game provided a very beautiful experience in telling the events of the story with a variety of adventures and mini-games in the story phase that gave great fun, the game's lack of content and characters and the lack of what can be done after the end of the game was frustrating.
