    A sequel that continues the story but effectively corrects the mistakes of the first installment. Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is, at last, the adaptation of the series that fans deserved. One of the best arena fighters in recent times.

    Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a sequel that improves on almost every aspect of the original game. The combat feels smoother, there’s more content to enjoy, and the visuals look great. Although the story mode can feel slow at times and lacks action in some parts, its faithfulness to the anime and the large roster of playable characters make it a highly recommended experience for fans of the series.

    Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a stylish and solid arena fighter that offers more content and a faithful anime experience. Not everything hits the mark, but fans get a convincing evolution rather than a revolution.

    Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a good game that covers recent arcs of the Demon Slayer anime with action-packed elements that CyberConnect2 is known for. Although the combat is repetitive, there's a lot of replay value thanks to the included story modes and Training Paths mode. The Hinokami Chronicles 2 isn't a departure from anything CyberConnect2 has developed in the anime gaming space, but the game's beautiful visuals and great voice acting should keep a lot of fans happy.

    If you’re coming in from the first game, and you liked that one, we have great news: Demon Slayer - The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is basically the same kind of experience, with some small but meaningful improvements. Plus, Training Paths is an excellent new mode that gives you something to do if you aren’t interested in multiplayer. The story mode still has a lot of padding that isn’t fun or interesting to engage with though, albeit operating at a brisker pace. Newcomers can expect an exciting adaptation of the anime relative to other games of its kind, and a shallow, but thrilling combat system that’s more interested in spectacle than challenge or raw skill. CyberConnect2 knows how to make an anime look rad and play well, and at the end of the day, that’s the assignment.

    Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a fun fighting game for fans of the Kimetsu no Yaiba fanbase, unfortunately in a very lazy fashion, cross play doesn't seem to exist and certain parts of the story mode are very odd, like lack of certain animations at parts can take you out of the story.
