Series fans will find something to enjoy, yet those simply looking a fighting experience with friends will find this to be frustrating. Considering the studio's history, and the nature of the source material, this could be a natural win, but this is something that is fundamentally flawed. The Story Mode balancing results in far too little actual gameplay, and too much time on slow plodding wanderings through uninspired areas. When it comes to the actual playing, the combat is just as flawed as the rest of it all. Slow, easy to abuse, and repetitive. The only saving graces are the retelling of the source material itself along with the combination of the signature CyberConnect cinematic battles. It's such a shame, but it seems CyberConnect has gone backwards with this adaptation, losing every step of progress they moved on with each subsequent iteration of the Ninja Storm series. Thankfully, the huge popularity of the series almost guarantees there'll be more to come with this series, and CyberConnect may have the chance to revisit the world of Demon Slayer.
If you really want to try out Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles, just wait for the next sale. At this state the feels more like a prototype. CyberConnect2 can certainly do better.
When the quality over quantity recipe goes too far, you get The Hinokami Chronicles. A visually stunning game based on a renowned anime, that painfully yearns for more content. It is full of forced activities that are there only to prolong the experience. Yet, the sides of it that shine are absolutely stunning. Not to mention that if you are a fan of the series, it will probably blow your mind.

I think it's a good anime game. I don't like anime games but this one is really good. It currently has 69 points. I don't understand why it got 69 points

Reservé Kimetsu no Yaiba con meses de antelación, porque soy un gran fan del anime y la verdad, visualmente el juego es impresionante. La historia sigue de cerca lo que ves en la serie, lo que me hizo revivir momentos épicos de la serie. Pero, aunque la parte visual y narrativa están muy bien, me dejó algo decepcionado en cuanto a la experiencia de **** principio el combate es simple y divertido, pero después de un rato me di cuenta de que no tiene la misma emoción ni profundidad que otros juegos de lucha. El sistema se vuelve algo repetitivo, y el modo versus, que debería ser la parte más entretenida, no logra engancharme por la falta de personajes y el balance entre ellos, la escasez de actualizaciones y la cantidad limitada de opciones. Además, los servidores no son nada estables, lo que hace que la experiencia online sea más frustrante que otra **** eres fan del anime y solo te interesa revivir la historia de Tanjiro, el juego puede valer la pena, pero solo si lo consigues en oferta. El modo historia es corto y está bien adaptado, pero no ofrece mucho más allá de lo que ya conoces. En resumen, es un juego dirigido principalmente a los seguidores de la serie, pero no tanto para aquellos que buscan una experiencia de lucha más pulida o desafiante. A pesar de todo, ya se confirmó que habrá una segunda entrega y realmente espero que en esta ocasión mejoren los puntos débiles, como la cantidad de personajes, su balance y la estabilidad de los servidores

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles is an experience that never overstays its welcome. While the map may be simplistic and outdated, the combat, visuals, voice acting, and story more than make up for anything the game lacks. New and old fans will find something to enjoy here, while the versus mode will keep players engaged long after the credits roll.

But Why Tho?
Overall, The Hinokami Chronicles is an enjoyable arena fighter with a really intriguing story. There are moments where the game feels a bit too slow or uninteresting during the exploration moments, but the combat makes up for it. Fans of Demon Slayer will love plaything through The Hinokami Chronicles, and even newcomers to the series will enjoy this well-done fighting game.

This game is really a pearl for every demon slayer fans. The gameplay is extremly solid and the graphics are extremly beatiful.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is a loving recreation of the first leg of Tanjiro and Nezuko's journey. It might not push the envelope in any meaningful way, but I can guarantee that this will satiate Demon Slayer fans and maybe even provide some entertainment for newcomers. It delivers on exactly what's promised, and I think that is what most people will want out of The Hinokami Chronicles.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is a fan service game, and it doesn't hide it. If you are a fan of the first hour then you will have no problem to dive into this adventure which mixes combat and narrative phases, all in the enchanting universe of the anime. For the others, the experience will lose a lot of flavor. The story mode is not always well-paced and the Versus mode is clearly not enough on its own. In the end, the game is mainly for fans of Koyoharu Gotōge's work.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is a fighter that balances depth and accessibility well, but it’s hamstrung by an inconsistent story mode and a slim roster.

In short, this game feels very much like a stepping stone on the way to a better Demon Slayer game in the future — one with a wider variety of playable characters, more new combat features, and a longer storyline that can afford to cut out filler moments that pad the experience.

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 smacks of old, even on next-gen consoles, not to mention a cruel and glaring lack of variety in the action. But he has for him a model more than faithful to the anime and a combat system as simple as it is effective, which will appeal to the greatest number, despite a weak roster and great confusion in the action when several people are fighting at the same time. A game of average quality after all, for fans and for those who want to easily take their eyes off between combos.

I really enjoy playing Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles. The combat is thrilling, and the graphics are stunning, capturing the essence of the anime perfectly. However, if the game were open-world, allowing players to explore freely, it would be even more enjoyable. The linear progression is fine, but having the freedom to roam and discover the world of Demon Slayer would take the game to the next level.

J'aime beaucoup le jeu car j'aime beaucoup le manga. Mais si je devais être objectif là note serait probablement plus 6. Pas assez de personnages, prix excessif et sorties des DLC trop espacées. Aucun suivi du jeu online par le studio. Pour toutes ces raisons j'aurai mis 5,5/10 mais parce que le gameplay, le style graphique, les cinematiques et les doublages sont excelents je lui met 7/10.

Way too much recaping and ending with what felt like filler/setup episodes of the new season. Either 1. Make a great side story with movies or 2. plan out out so it fits a movie like the mugen train movie did.

One of the worst games I've ever played, it's too generic and very boring, not recommended unless you have nothing to do
