**SOUND 6/10**  
  
Okay, right off the bat, I would admit my distaste for the audio. It's not bad, but knowing how many times I smashed the replay button to some songs of the anime itself, I often just ended up muting the audio all together or hurriedly trying to jump into battle so I don't hear the idle music that plays while in the menu. Also, I wish that the music in battle would lift the fighting spirit more than solely hearing blades clash or body parts getting hit.  
  
**VISUALS 10/10**  
  
The character design, special move effects, and stages stay true to the show. I have no gripes in this area.  
  
**INTERFACE 8/10**  
  
At first glance, it can look slightly disorienting (given that the design needs to blend in the Demon Slayer theme), but nothing too distracting so you can easily jump into slashing at demons or your fellow corp member - depending who you are up against.  
  
**GAMEPLAY 7/10**  
  
It plays how you'd expect most anime fighting games would play. If you have played Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm, it is quite similar. However, I didn't feel the want to play for longer hours. If the game would add a palette cleanser (or improve the story mode) from the repetitive fights than it would be much help to keep playing on and on.  
  
**CONCLUSION 7.75/10**  
  
To me, Demon Slayer is an excellent anime to follow/watch, despite the unfair advantage of some characters and the unsatisfying exploration in its story mode. Playing the game is definitely another way to experience the Demon Slayer universe. As a fan, I'm looking forward to the DLCs to follow and hopefully it will fulfill the satisfying umph the game can offer like the anime it was copied from.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles

I played this game on **steam deck** and it's smooth. The story is just like in the anime and manga. If you haven't seen the series, just play this game and you can catch up with the weebs.

Manga Anime Game

Would recommend the game to someone who has either watched the anime, read the manga or has awareness of the content. Although the storyline is immersive with tons of cut scenes (that you can skip) it is fast pace and some parts are skimmed over. There are 8 Chapters total which covers the anime story arc up to Mugen Train each battle/chapter has a grading system that gives you rewards that can be replay-able to get a better grade. The playtime from start to finish was roughly 8 hrs but if you are a completionist probably 14/22hrs. DLC is alavable in the form of character packs that are only playable in VS mode and **DOES not add any new story elements**. Overall 8/10 but definitely worth picking up! Just be warned the price tag on this has dropped so would recommend picking this up at around $25/$30 if possible.

From the title itself, this game offers a lot of potential and yet a bit short and disappointing. I hate the fact that you need to purchase the DLC's in order to use the other characters available in the game. Hinokami Chronicles actually built from the same engine as Naruto that's why I'm expecting more. The main campaign is really short, the adventure element is not on point. The combat is almost the same with Naruto. But still missing some elements. Overall, the game is okay but lacking in many ways.
