Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2

“A must-play for Demon Slayer and shonen anime fans, though newcomers will also find plenty to enjoy despite minor flaws.”

“Demon Slayer – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 gives you a strong fighting game that draws you into the story just like the original manga/anime. Prioritising teamwork and combos makes you utilise every moveset for maximum effectiveness. It's not an easy game to master, and the story can be finished in a few hours. Fans will love what this game has to offer, but you may not enjoy the game if you've never heard of the Demon Slayer series.”

“Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a good continuation adaptation of the anime.”

“Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a well-crafted game and a major step up from the prior entry, but it isn't the kind of groundbreaking or unique experience that will get casual fans or non-fans invested in the series.”

“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: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is very much a sequel, so anyone curious about the story should play the original game first. If you’re just in it for the combat, then the sequel is a no-brainer best choice.”

“By building on the original and adapting some of the best arcs from the manga, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is pretty much a must for fans. As far as arena brawler goes, this is one of the better ones, although we still think combat can be a bit flat and woolly at times. But, with a wealth of single player content and so many characters to choose from, this is a worthy sequel to an already solid game.”

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is largely more of the same, but that isn't much of a issue when the first game was already so enjoyable. Story mode here picks up where the last left off and covers three new dramatic arcs, and the gameplay has been refreshed a little with new elements such as Gear. It's the whopping number of characters now available in Versus mode that's the real draw, though.”

“Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a better sequel in just about every way. While the actual fighting mechanics remain unchanged due to the absence of new additions, more characters from the start and expansions to a few modes give the game some real legs, whether you're playing solo or with friends and rivals. While this still doesn't reach the heights of the developer's previous Naruto titles, this is easily the best of the Demon Slayer titles so far, and it's an easy purchase for fans of the series and anime fighting games in general.”

“Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a bigger, better version of its predecessor, even if it’s not exactly out here discovering new forms of demon slaying.”

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a beautiful example of adaptation and a clear evolution compared to the first game in the series. The sequel greatly expands the cast, refines the exploration, narrative, and combat systems, and offers the best visuals the subgenre can currently achieve.”

“Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, but CyberConnect2 has once again proved that it doesn't need to.”

“By having a healthier roster, slightly tweaked combat, and two of the best arcs in the whole series, The Hinokami Chronicles 2 still stands as a worthy sequel, and one that I hope is surpassed even more by the inevitable third game that has a hell of a lot of heavy lifting to do by finishing off the whole series.”

“Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a competent game, especially for fans of the series. There are some cool additions, like dual ultimates which will let you create some dream teams and perform beuatiful cinematic finishing moves. The story mode is also pretty solid, allowing you to navigate through the latest story arcs from the anime, but also including interesting features that turn this into a slightly more ambitious project than your run-of-the-mill anime videogame. Definitely give it a try.”
