Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board!, the upcoming Switch game inspired by the hit anime series, is nearing its launch. And creators have another surprise for fans and interested players.
Publisher SEGA dropped the latest trailer for Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board! With a run time of at least two minutes, the video provided a nearly comprehensive preview of the game. It gave a closer look into its core gameplay, mechanics, and even the minigames.
The trailer began with character selection, with the gameplay preview confirming that it is a multiplayer game that can support up to four players. Some of the Demon Slayer cast spotted in the video included the protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, Inosuke Hashibira, and Zenitsu Agatsuma.
Other playable characters seen in the teaser were Shinobu Kocho, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Shinobu Kocho, to name a few.
Audiences also got a glimpse of the characters' combat styles and scenes. The game contained a feature called “Demon Slayer Dice”. With this, each Demon-Slayer swordsman has their own set of dice that has unique special effects according to that character, publishers described.
"Once used, a cooldown timer of 3 turns begins, so they will need to use this feature effectively. Finally, if a different character joins your group, you will be able to use their Demon Slayer Dice," they added.
The newest trailer for Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board! also showed iconic locations from the anime series such as Tsuzumi Mansion, Mt. Natagumo, and the Mugen Train.
It was confirmed that the game will feature dynamic boards that shift between day and night. This means players can participate in events and minigames to hone their skills and collect rank points in the day. However, as night falls, they need to prepare themselves against fearsome demons.
Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board! will hit Nintendo Switch devices in the Americas and Europe this April 26. Meanwhile, pre-orders for the physical edition of the game are available at select retailers. / ###
