Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Gameplay
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a 3D anime fighting game that builds upon the mechanics of its predecessor. Players can choose from over 40 characters from the Demon Slayer universe. Battles are fought in 3D arenas, where players control a main fighter and can swap with a support character to perform assists and extend combos. Since both characters share a single health bar, strategic switching is crucial to maintaining momentum.
The game’s combat revolves around light and heavy attacks, with dashes and parries allowing for aggressive or defensive play. Players can guard against enemy attacks or sidestep to evade damage, making positioning an important aspect of battle.
Each character has three unique special moves tied to their breathing techniques or Blood Demon Arts, which consume a regenerating special meter. Landing enough hits fills the Ultimate Gauge, allowing players to unleash powerful cinematic Ultimate Art attacks.
Additionally, combatants can activate Boost Mode to temporarily enhance their attack power and speed, while Surge Mode provides an even stronger boost, enabling nearly limitless combo potential.
The game features two main modes: Story Mode and VS Mode.
Story Mode
Story Mode continues from the first game, allowing players to control Tanjiro and his allies as they experience key events from the Entertainment District Arc, Swordsmith Village Arc, and Hashira Training Arc. This mode also introduces mini-games, such as a shamisen rhythm game, and explorable locations, including the Entertainment District.
VS Mode
VS Mode offers a roster of over 40 playable characters, including the nine Hashira, alongside fighters from the original game, free post-launch updates, and the Entertainment District DLC packs. New gameplay elements such as Dual Ultimates and Gear have also been added. Players can take on challenges in both online and offline battles.
