About Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles
Demon Slayer – Kimtsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles lets players experience key anime moments, from Tanjiro’s entry into the Demon Slayer Corps through the Mugen Train arc, using full‑3D battle techniques. The title presents these scenes in a single‑player format that follows the series’ narrative order.
A roster of 24 fighters—including protagonists, demons and Academy variants—can be selected for Versus battles. The game supports online PvP, split‑screen play, full controller input, Steam achievements, cloud saves and other Steam‑linked features.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story Mode
Story Mode follows Tanjiro Kamado from his recruitment into the Demon Slayer Corps through the events of the Mugen Train movie, recreating each arc with 3‑D visuals that match the anime’s iconic techniques. The mode is presented as a single‑player experience and does not require additional content to progress.
Each segment mirrors a specific episode or movie scene, allowing players to watch familiar moments while controlling the protagonist. The mode’s structure is linear, moving from one scripted set piece to the next as described in the product description.
- Observe the on‑screen visual cues that signal upcoming enemy attacks.
- Take note of the timing of each technique to align your inputs with the animation.

Versus Mode lets any of the 24 fighters clash, including heroes like Tanjiro and demons such as Rui and Akaza. Character Unlocks grant immediate access to these fighters for head‑to‑head battles, and the roster can be expanded via edition bonuses.
The mode supports online PvP, split‑screen play and full controller support, enabling friends to compete locally or over the internet without needing extra purchases.
