An Interesting History in Video Games
The Demon Slayer series has an interesting history in video games. It has previously launched an unexpected party game based on the anime, despite how serious the show can get with its fight scenes. It’s called Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! and has fun mini-games like the Super Mario Party series. “While Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! might not captivate all players, especially those playing solo, it holds aspecial appeal for fans of the series and those looking for a party game with a twist,” saidour review. “If you can overlook its technical flaws and gather a few friends for local play, it can provide hours of entertainment and lively competition.”
The last Hinokami Chronicles game did okay with critics when it launched in 2021. It has a 70OpenCriticTop Critic score with 47% of critics recommending it. “The combat is fun, fast-paced, and lets the player wield the explosive moves of the Demon Slayer Corps in a visually exciting way, but the story mode that makes up the bulk of the single-player content is stretched too thin,” said our sister siteScreenRant. “Fans of the anime should enjoyThe Hinokami Chronicles, but it won’t have much appeal to those who aren’t already familiar with the series.” The game sold over four million copies, marking the game as a success for Sega. Thus, it’s no surprise a sequel is getting released in 2025.
