Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles Reviews
Demon Slayer: The Hikonami Chronicles is a bit lacking where it had everything to succeed: with a faithful representation of the characters of the anime, it does not go further, with an empty environment, dated textures and a technique that smells old, even on next-gen consoles, not to mention a cruel and glaring lack of variety in the action.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is a perfect 3D anime fighting, based on the great tech build of previous games and doing the same things, but on a smaller scale

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles is one for the fans, yet still accessible for beginners. Aside from a few functionality problems in gameplay, it is a great load of fun being able to fight against familiar faces and take the leading role in the story of Demon Slayer. The developers of the game may have missed a prime opportunity to expand on the exploration experience, but at the end of the day, this is a game focused on the thrill of battling against Demons and looking cool while doing so.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is a great anime-based fighting game that’s only going to get better. Its story mode is a lot of fun to play through, thanks to the quality of the source material and CyberConnects2’s refined battle system that’s easy to pick up yet rewarding to master. Factor in the beautiful visuals and a decent amount of side content to engage in, and you have one of the best videogame adaptations of an anime we’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. If you’re a fan of the franchise, consider this a must-have. And even if you’re not, you might want to give it a go.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is a very fun game, but with a short duration. It's a must-have for anime lovers, but it's not for everyone.

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.
In the pantheon of anime games, Cyberconnect2 has definitely done more right by the anime than by the gameplay. Its ability to capture the anime experience remains strong, but far too little concern is there for the game and its community. Time will tell if Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles fosters a bright future for humanity or if it will leave them to the mercy of the demons.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles acts as a great, fun reference database for the popular anime series but doesn’t present a lot of unique traits to be memorable on its own.
Demon Slayer could be without a doubt one of the best anime-inspired games in recent times. You can count on a story 100% faithful to the anime. The title considers very detailed, beautiful graphics, a captivating soundtrack and a simple, yet exciting and challenging combat system. However it loses a lot of arguments when it comes to the insipid aspect of exploration, the uninteresting online mode and especially in regards tonthe small diversity of characters. The improvement opportunities are significant, but if you are fans of anime and in particular Demon Slayer, you can count on an experience that lives up to the name.

Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is an absolutely unmissable game for anime fans, who will relive exciting moments of the saga. I believe it also has the potential to please those who have never followed the animation, due to its very consistent campaign mode. The fighting system is extremely satisfying, simple in its mechanics, friendly to novices, and fun to veterans. It is a fighting game more casual than competitive, very well done and focused on the player experience.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles appears to be an attempt to satisfy series enthusiasts. To some extent, it is approachable and entertaining, but the story is mainly a rehash with no fresh content, and the versus mode, although enjoyable, could benefit from a broader character roster.
Overall, our time with Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles was enjoyable but at times felt like a chore. Additionally, if you like to stream games but do not use a capture card, certain scenes will be blocked from streaming. The controls are simple to use, the graphics show the beautiful world the characters live in, and the voice acting truly conveys how the characters are feeling. The game’s storyline does detract from the overall experience though and never allows the player to experience the story as if they were watching the anime. Finally, when it comes to the game’s replay value, it falls short. Most of the replay value comes by perfecting fights or VS mode.
Demon Slayer - The Hinokami Chronicles is not a bad game, just a useless game. An admittedly acerbic statement that can nevertheless be justified by the proposed content. The ultra dirigiste story mode is indeed largely dispensable. As for the fighting, there is no denying it: it entertains, but what about in the long run?

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: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles may not be perfection, but still delivers a one-of-a-kind experience for those looking to be interactive and immersed within its lore. Despite some shortcomings, its exemplary gameplay loop will have fans elated, along with set pieces that have made the franchise a staple within the medium.
Demon Slayer is true to its source material, closely following the initial story arc and Mugen Train. The single-player story is short and never really taxes the player. The areas in between fights aren't inviting to explore as movement is slow and tasks obligatory. The roster of characters for online fights is small and partly locked behind the single-player storyline. In multiplayer, the fighting system blossoms, but it would have been great if the range of abilities was better used throughout the game.

For fans of the source material or just arena fighters in general, Demon Slayer’s incredible combat and substantial story mode make this a must-play. Sure, the exploration sections may disrupt the pacing somewhat, and the online functionality could use some patching, but these issues don’t detract too much from the stellar foundation which CyberConnect2 has put in place.
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.
