    This game was my first glimpse of Dimon slayer franchise and to be honest, that story in game intrigued me so much that I've already bought demon slayer manga. I found that story really engaging and interesting, seriously great storytelling! But game unfortunately is nothing special. It's just ripped off naruto ultimate ninja games but with different story and characters. I just can't giveThis game was my first glimpse of Dimon slayer franchise and to be honest, that story in game intrigued me so much that I've already bought demon slayer manga. I found that story really engaging and interesting, seriously great storytelling! But game unfortunately is nothing special. It's just ripped off naruto ultimate ninja games but with different story and characters. I just can't give more than 6 to anime game that was made without passion and love. If you've never heard of demon slayer before, I think that this game could show you is that franchise is for you. But if you want to play a far superior anime games I could recommend naruto rise of ninja / the broken bond or much newer DBZ kakarot. Those games were made with stunning passion and love for anime games. I could only wish that someday there would be a demon slayer game in open world.… Expand

    Animaciones geniales, entretenido combate, la exploración es horrible y hay pocos modos de juego, no destaca nada en especial.

    With six hours of gameplay to hand, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is occasionally a very engaging game. With an incredibly story-telling nature and a Rolodex of enemies to face, if you’re new to Demon Slayer then this may be a foot in the door. However, if you are familiar and consider yourself a fan of the franchise then I think there are just a few too many holes in the mechanics and story to sell this game to you. But, if you’re willing, then I would recommend it for a fun hands-on approach to a much-loved title. It won’t be that detrimental to your love for the franchise, but be prepared to question certain elements.

    Overall, my experience with Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- the Hinokami Chronicles was a pleasant one. I greatly enjoyed the story and I am looking forward to its continuation, though hopefully with more actual gameplay in place of cinematics. Hopefully the battle system will also get some more attention to spice it up a little. Aside from the boss fights, the combat itself was pretty easy compared to other fighters I’ve played.

    Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is as good as it ever was. The Switch version doesn’t add anything for people who have the game on other systems. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm fans, who might be excited for another similar game, should dial their content expectations way back. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba fans don’t need their teeny narrative summarized, the way Naruto fans might’ve wanted theirs. Merging these two franchises wasn’t the right decision. It would’ve been the definition of “a renter” in the 90s.
