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

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.

It's a fun area fighter. It plays similar to the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games. The story mode is the standout feature of this game. It's really is faithful to the anime and worth buy just for this. The only downsides is that there was a lack of playable characters at launch (mostly fixed by 6 free downloadable characters) and an overpriced season pass for more characters that really should have had a story expansion add on as well. Overall if your an anime fighter fan give it a go and it's an absolute must play for Demon Slayer fans,

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.

A fine game if you are fan of the series or just want to jump in and experience what this anime is all about. If you enjoy the Naruto Storm games, this combat system will feel very familiar. If you are expecting something more then just reliving the story of Demon Slayer again, you will have to look elsewhere.

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.

The overall of the story was good. The animation was outstanding with immaculate effects and unique artstyle. The action scence were astounding with action sequences. The story paing in the first part is kind of slow. But in the final part it was so exciting that I can not sit still. The final part was so sentimental and I cried a **** soundtrack was so good and it adds a lot to the movie.

I really liked the game, especialy the story mode, it made me get the platinum for this game, but after getting the platinum I didn't really played it that much anymore, the versus mode is kinda dead, it takes me so much time to find an opponent and he dissconects and I don't even get points, for story I give this game 10/10 for the versus mode 6/10

This game leaves a lot to be desired. Single player has some interesting content but pretty much just hits the same story beats as the anime. Boss fights toward the end are very poorly done and will definitely frustrate the player. Demons throughout the story mode rely to an almost absurd degree on huge uninterruptible attacks, and enormous health pools making the fights hugely unfair and tiresome. This also makes story mode unlike any fight you will have in versus despite looking the same. More than half of the roster must be unlocked through story mode with certain requirements for each. 11 of the 31 characters are alternates, meaning there are only 20 unique playable characters WITH the DLC. Online play is just bad. Most matches have significant hitching/skipping and they will often crash leaving you with a disconnected count. The bones of a decent anime fighter are here but the significant balancing issues, online problems, and just plain greedy monetization make this a pass for all but the most dedicated fans of the anime.

The game is fun, the combat is deep enough for the roster of characters it has and the visuals are really good, CyberConnect2 knows how to do an anime character rendered in 3D look 2D. That being said the game really lacks in world exploration and navigation, it felt like a chore to go around every level and collect every memory fragment, kimetsu points and other events. The roaster of characters is a mixed bag to me: on one hand each character plays very differently from the others, but on the other I feel that it needs to get bigger fast. Maybe a DLC with yet to animate characters from the next arc in the manga (like Muichiro and Mitsuri) could help with this problem. So the quality of the characters move sets are good (better than in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4), but the quantity could be better. Something else this game lacks besides characters is game modes, like a tournament mode or a mode in which one has to manage themselves against multiple demons (or demon slayers) at an arena at the same time, or something akin to bloody palace from Devil May Cry. Something else could´ve been done, but it wasn´t done and that disappoints me. Overall it is a good game, it just lacks content to keep playing it after finishing the story and S ranking it (not that it doesn´t have any, it just lacks more)

Graphics: A+ Gameplay: A+ Story: S (from anime only) Execution: A+ Score: A+ Great game. Loved the additional fight with a fan favourite character which wasn’t in the anime to close off the game. If it wasn’t for that I would’ve given a .5 less stars. Nothing new if you already watched the anime, but it is interesting to put yourself in the shoes of the anime by playing the game for sure! Don’t expect too much and you’ll be satisfied with this game! As a die-hard fan of the anime, I’m satisfied! Hinokami Kagura!!

This game is very much like its predecessors from the creator Cyber Connect 2, the Naruto Ultimate Storm franchise. I would appreciate it more if it was more like Dragon Ball Kakarot.

"Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles" has become a good game. The storyline is told well and is pleasantly loosened up and adapted by the various elements. The battles are easy to handle and always challenging. In addition, new updates keep coming and bring new elements into the game. So fans and genre fans should take a look at "Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles" - it's worth it.

I played many of CC2 games one of my favourite CC2 games is jojo all stars battle and naruto ultimate ninja storm 4 i think Demon slayer kimetsu no yaiba is a true successor to naruto ultimate ninja storm 4 the combat is and mechcanics are vastly improved from just mashing circle and pressing the L left stick up or down to change the combo you can mix up specials you have push block which is a fantastic new mechanics the parry mechancis is better than in storm 4 the animations are fantastly well done the game is cinematic as ever CC2 again delivered a fantastic story mode the cutscenes where just like in the anime the boss fights where great the only thing we are missing is a big roster and more arenas which could be fixed by releasing more characters and arenas and 60 frames per second mode for PS5 is what really need its a fighting game so 60fps is a must for better input latency in fact the game needs improvement in input latency the PS4 version of this game is a mess.I enjoyed the mini games with the gourd and tea they where hard and challenging i just platinumed the game on PS5 and i think its one of the best arena fighting games i have played

Lo mejor: adaptación muy fiel al anime, incluye la primera temporada (6 capítulos) y la película del tren infinito (2 capítulos) . Combate divertido y vistoso, gran recreación de las batallas contra los jefes demonio. Lo peor: sus mecánicas simples pueden no satisfacer a todo el mundo, uso nulo de la vibración o dual sense en ps5, se echa en falta más variedad de actividades (mini juegos escasos), poca exploración. Conclusión: buen juego que cumple con los objetivos que se propone, pero con falta de ambición, lo que hace que sea recomendable fundamentalmente para los fans del manga-anime.

Good, but lacking in content and innovation. best storymode from CC2 so far. The anime cutscenes are a drag to watch but u don't have to. cons the training mode is boring and repetitive. small roster, no playable evil demons on launch / missing characters. No added innovations like tag battles or co op for example. Missing features like towers, tournaments, spectator etc. pros best fighting combat from CC2, the online fights can be a real joy. Boss fights are real fun and epic. Great quality cutscenes / animations and visuals. worth picking up for 40 euro, unless you are a big fighter/demons slayer fan its worth 60. ( when all 6 free demons are added this might be a 9/10 game for me)

Demon Slayer on PS5 is almost a carbon copy of Naruto Ninja Storm. It plays almost identical. If you are a fan of the Ninja Storm Series then this game is for you. You follow the first season of Demon Slayer almost perfectly lining with the anime. This continues on to Mugen Train. It was nice to recreate these moments and play through them however I didn't feel any sense of excitement. It was things I had already seen so I wasn't blown away at any point. The game doesn't have side quests either so you are on a linear path with no real exploration minus walking a few steps outside your path to get a memory shard. the game is beautiful and the fighting is smooth and well polished. My biggest gripe of the game is the amount of playable characters. There is about 10 characters with multiple duplicate characters. there is a lot to be looking forward to in future games but as it stands demon slayer is a good starting point for those wanting to get introduced to the series or a fun game to revisit the series.

I can’t believe there’s someone out there not liking this game. We are getting 6 new free characters as the time goes so you can’t get bored. The story mode is so beautiful and in my opinion the most competitive arena fighter. Its a 10/10 for me 100% but not for everyone.

1. Get rights for making a game after a popular anime 2. Make a mediocre arena fighter game. 3. ??? 4. PROFIT Just looking at the roster and the move list kinda tells the whole story. I love Demon Slayer, I love seeing the characters in action and the voice acting but the game itself is just as generic as it can get. I'm sick and tired of making a **** arena fighting games for anime. I give it 2 for the voice acting

The fights are decent, but most of the game is just running around in a ps2 game style minus the great rewards and interesting side stories and the long dialogues, which could have been done better. Some times there is a dialogue I want to skip but I know that something interesting would happen if I wanted the boring talk. I could not even continue to finishe the third chapter

Great game, fun combat and good story. Only downside is the limited characters but that is getting fixed with post-content dlc.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is a fighting game that balances depth and accessibility quite well. The Visuals are really, like, really good and it‘s better when played with friends. The story mode feels outdated, but it doesn‘t feel like it‘s the main focus of the game. Overall I would recommend the game to fans of the franchise!

Pros: Beautiful graphics, Fan-pleasing content, Better combat than Ninja Storm games Cons: Shallow gameplay sections, Incoming microtransactions, Butchered cast, Graphical effects can be blinding at times It is a fun game but suffers from a lack of content and looming microtransactions that make the full price tag feel too much. The graphical style is great but the game is an arena fighter with some tacked-on 'walk in a straight line' missions. There is a part where you walk in a straight line while some dialogue plays and you can pick up 2 items directly in front of you. Megaselling Ghibli Slayer or not - this is bad 'gameplay'. Cutscenes transformed into walking sessions for the player are only there to give the illusion of content and they need to go. There is some beautiful gaming here but unfortunately it is right next to some of the laziest and worst examples of modern gaming. If they copypasted this graphical style onto a Sekiro engine it would print money (assuming they added a Games Journalist Easy Mode for non hardcore gamer fans).

Man While most Anime arena Fighters are Very meh, there is a few that are The exception. This is one of those games alongside the Naruto Storm series as being one of the absolute best Anime to Game adaptations possible and actually making the Arena Fighter Situation Work very well. Demon Slayer is a Fantastic Anime game with honestly The best Story mode CC2 has done Since Storm 2 imho. The Gameplay while similar to Storm on the surface is much more different In the nitty gritty Mechanical level. This game is just much much more in depth then Storm gameplay wise and has the potential for great Competitive play, Also Bonus points for Actually having The Animes Music play in the game which most anime games fail to Have due to licensing issues im sure, seriously the Music from the Actual anime makes the Games Boss fights and story moments that much more impactful, and MAN the boss fights while Easy aside from last few, are all an absolute spectecal and blast to play against. Were also getting 6 Free playable Demons via free updates which is nice. Honestly this is Quite litterally One of if not The best Anime To Game adaptation ive ever seen its Masterful, CC2 knocked it out of the Park, my only criticism is the small roster size but Ill give it credit that every character aside from acadamy versions feels totally unique and Different from eachother even characters with the same attacks Those attacks have different combo and Attack properties, the 6 free demons should of been in at launch but at least were getting them for free. If this game had a roster of like 30 it would be flat out perfect. Highly recommend to ANY Anime fan especially Demon Slayer Fans!

I was worried that this game would turn out to be another soulless copy & paste licensed anime game that is just smashed together to get easy money from the fans, like for example My Hero One’s Justice. Since I was a big fan of the anime & manga, I still had to get it and I’m gladly fairly surprised. My biggest complaint is the story. If you don’t know the source material, don’t even bother. You won’t really enjoy the story. And for the fans, well it’s the story you already know. And that’s a shame, they really missed the chance to tell a new and original story, some sort of side-story or something. But still they have done a good job adapting the story into an actual game. Instead of having just the fights and cutscenes in-between, like in a lot of these games, you actually have sections where you can explore surprisingly big areas, collect stuff, and do tiny side missions. That’s what surprised me the most. The fights themselves are what you expect them to be. They are not groundbreaking, new or innovative, but they are a lot of fun and look amazing. And I think the most fun comes from trying out all these characters you know and love, find out how they play and just finally control them for yourself. The graphics are phenomenal. I would even go so far and say that this is easily one of the best-looking anime games ever made. While the anime already looked incredibly good, they have done a perfect job translating this into a 3D game. Sadly as amazing as the graphics look, so stiff and odd are the animations. They look just not really polished and are a bit of a contrast to the overall great graphics. But in the end, this is a surprisingly good adaption. If they would have made an original story and not just retold the already known story, this could have been easily a 10/10 for me.
