Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba The Hinokami Chronicles PS5 Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Fighting games and story modes can be like oil and water. They’re a tricky thing to mix properly, probably because it’s hard to tell a story well when your main method of conversation is two characters punching each other in the face. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is no exception to this problem, with a single-player mode that never quite nails the balance between telling its excellent story and making that story fun to actually play. But fortunately, its arena-based combat is fast, satisfying, and strikes a nice balance between approachability and depth, especially in multiplayer. The Hinokami Chronicles follows the same plot as the manga and anime it’s adapted from, starting from the beginning and then working its way up through the end of the Mugen Train arc. If you’re unfamiliar with Demon Slayer, it follows Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado after demons murder their family and transform Nezuko into a demon herself, chronicling the pair’s quest for revenge and search for a way to make Nezuko human again.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Much of this story is retold through immaculately rendered in-game cutscenes, all of which are fully voiced in both English and Japanese by the anime series’ cast. You don’t need to be familiar with Demon Slayer to become invested in the characters, their arcs, and the overall plot either. A lot of that speaks to the quality of the script, which alternates between silly, heartfelt, and serious with natural ease, but equal praise must be lavished on the voice cast – particularly Zach Aguilar and Aleks Le, who play Tanjiro and his cowardly friend, Zenitsu, respectively, and stand out even in a cast that delivers outstanding performances all around. The cutscenes can run a little long between fights, but it’s a small price to pay when the original story is being retold as well as it is here. But when The Hinokami Chronicles makes you walk around and explore the Demon Slayer world between these familiar scenes, it becomes kind of a drag. That’s a shame, for two reasons: first, because Demon Slayer’s story is entertaining enough without these extra sections; and second.

Because playing the roughly nine to 12-hour story mode is pretty much the only reasonable way to unlock every playable character for the Versus mode, which is probably where you’ll want to spend most of your time anyway. You can also unlock them by grinding out Versus mode fights, but doing so would take so long that it wouldn’t be worth it, which isn’t great if you’re just here for the multiplayer. The Hinokami Chronicles is divided into eight chapters. After an introductory series of cutscenes, each chapter will have you guide Tanjiro and friends across a mostly linear series of maps as you complete quests by talking to other characters, search out clues that will lead you to where demons might be hiding, and solve small puzzles. As you explore, you’ll also be able to collect Memory Fragments, which are short movies that combine voiceovers and stills from the anime series, and Kimetsu Points, which can be used to unlock rewards like characters, alternate costumes, quotes, art, and songs from the soundtrack.

Demon Slayer has gone on to become one of the most successful media franchises in existence—even passing up the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog and Minecraft in raw sales. Despite this, Demon Slayer has had shockingly little presence in video games; aside from a Japan-only mobile game that still has yet to release, the only other game is Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles. This release came to other platforms just this past fall, and now the Switch version has come with all the post-launch DLC from those releases. Though it has some flaws, we found Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles to be thoroughly enjoyable and we think you should consider giving it a shot. The story of Demon Slayer follows Tanjiro, a young man with an axe to grind with demonkind. Prior to the events of the game, a demon attacked and killed his family while he was away—one sister survived, but she didn’t get much of a better deal given that she was turned into a ferocious demon. We take on the role of Tanjiro just as he’s about to complete the final step of his training to become a proper Demon Slayer.

Once he’s done so, his goal is then to avenge his family’s death by killing the demon who murdered them and hopefully to find a cure for his sister somewhere along the way. Starting out is a bit rough for those who don’t have any background with the anime or manga, but once you get past the first couple of hours, it’s an engaging tale all the way through. Tanjiro is a likeable protagonist with just the right mixture of dorkiness, bravery, and kindness to offset his anger and there’s a strong supporting cast that’s expanded on with each chapter of the story. Though there’s a bigger overarching story, each chapter is about 30 minutes long and presents its own self-contained narrative as Tanjiro travels around to new locales on demon hunting duty. Those of you who are big fans of shonen will find plenty to love here, and even if that’s not usually your thing, we think this is still a well-told narrative that’s worth experiencing. Chapters play out across medium-sized levels that are relatively linear, but offer up some limited means of exploration via little side paths here or there. SUNDAY GOLD

You can optionally talk to some NPCs or examine certain elements of the environment to complete side quests and little wisps of light will indicate areas where Tanjiro can flex his parkouring skills and hop over or around obstacles. This portion of the gameplay can at times feel a bit much like a ‘walking simulator’ due to the relative lack of interactivity, though the environments are well-built and you usually aren’t going very long before you run into another important plot element or cutscene. Your progress and performance in each chapter are tracked across an achievements list that’s reminiscent of the kind featured in the last few Super Smash Bros. games. Completing various requirements—like beating a chapter with a certain rank or defeating a boss in a certain time limit—will unlock portions of a reward board that both reveal another part of the larger picture underneath while also giving you another goodie like a new piece of concept art. If any of the achievements feel a bit too hard, you can manually unlock them using Kimetsu Points, which are found as collectibles in chapters or for fulfilling repeatable mini achievements like playing as a certain character enough times.

Dynamic Combat Style.

We enjoyed the setup of this system, as it sometimes encourages you to play the game a little differently than you may normally, even if the rewards for doing so often feel pointless. First things first. The demons in Demon Slayer are vampires, not demons. Muzan Kibutsuji is anime Dracula, not anime Satan, and you can’t change my mind. Living for human blood, special blood powers, and transference of power through the blood of a sire? Vampire, and that’s that. Now, for the game with the longest name in history, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles. It’s an arena fighter based on the biggest breakout anime of the last few years. Massively popular anime, a legitimate blockbuster movie, this game needed to be more than a generic anime game, and CyberConnect2 delivered. The arena fighter combat is as slick and smooth as the show’s animation, but it’s the addition of a proper single-player Adventure Mode that makes this game unique. The thing about most anime games is that they’re made for established audiences.

Which makes sense, bird in the hand and all that, but it often leads to underwhelming gaming experiences for everyone else. Even more ambitious games like Fairy Tail are still much better if you’re already a fan. It’s rare to find an anime game based on an established franchise that takes newcomers into consideration. And that’s something that sets Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles apart. As a matter of fact, I’d say it’s a perfectly acceptable place to start your Demon Slayer journey. It’s quite honestly the only anime game I’ve ever played that I would say that about. The reason for this is Adventure Mode. It’s no standard story mode, which is usually just a chain of arena fights bridged with scenes from the anime. It’s a proper full blown campaign with open areas, beautiful in-engine cutscenes (with re-recorded voice-acting), and proper, honest to god boss fights. Fights against unique Adventure Mode-exclusive enemies, even. Now, it’s not perfect, to be clear, and is quite simple in a few ways. Areas are fairly linear, with secrets and collectibles being really easy to find. It’s also on the shorter side and has little original content, choosing to stay true to the anime.

Overall though, it’s satisfying, fun, and does a great job immersing you in the world of Demon Slayer. The narrative starts where the anime starts and concludes with the hugely popular Mugen Train arc. You get to explore the mountain where Tanjiro’s Final Selection was held. Fight alongside the Hashira against Lower Five Rui and his adopted family. And you get to stand tall as Rengoku against the unstoppable Akaza. Everything is here, and it’s just as epic as it needed to be. Something to keep in mind as well is that if you want to really get involved in Versus (either online or locally), you really do have to finish Adventure Mode. It’s the only way to unlock characters, which is pretty important for any fighter. Not a huge issue for me, but I imagine it could be for some people. Especially since, as is the case for any arena fighter, Versus is a very important part of the game. Even with the rather beefy Adventure Mode (at least considering the competition), for some it’s where the game’s at. Thankfully for them, it’s really fun. The combat system is just so fluid and responsive, with an impressive level of depth. It’s great during Adventure Mode, but really comes into its own in Versus. Dungreed
