    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 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.

    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: the Hinokami Chronicles 2 is the video game equivalent of a popcorn flick. We won’t see this fighter on the competitive scene, but for an anime-based game it can be pretty great. It’s clearly designed to be welcoming to newcomers who love the series and want to play through major moments, but people looking for a bit of a challenge might find it in isolated bouts, Hashira Training Paths, or fights with other players. It honestly makes me hope we might eventually see a third installment too.
