Glassing and fiery!

Continuing the quintessence from the previous part, the battle system of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Still the focus in the experience, the game company continues to be honed to be easy to grasp with new people, just enough tactical depth for those who like to “dig deep” combo, rhythmic and staging the eye -catching moments as a choreographer on the film.

At the core, the game still holds the familiar “2 -round 2” team, allowing players to flexibly switch between the two Demon Devils who use the same blood bar or release support skills with just one button. Meanwhile, the Demonist, in addition to the two brothers Daki – Gyutaro or Susamaru/Yahaba, the rest will fight alone but possess overwhelming power and ability to heal, make each battle between the two sides become dramatic and distinct in the approach.

Different from antagonistic titles “hardcore” like Street Fighter good Guilty gearwhich requires good memory and skillful reflexes to perform long combo attacks, Hinokami Chronicles 2 Streamlining the attack mechanism to only three main buttons: normal hitting, skills and ending (Ultimate). When coordinated smoothly, they create beautiful and smooth string string, with a combo process bar displayed to signal the time when the string will end before the opponent is in time.

With only two to three buttons, the writer was able to control Zenitsu soaring to the first consciousness: the most calendar thermos, Referring to the opponent into the air and then continuously slashing quickly before bouncing with the trick of thunder, the opponent was constantly being hovered, “eating” each slash that could not resist, bringing the feeling of mastering the pace of the game to say extremely “already”!

In another match, when it seemed to be about to lose to the opponent, the writer could catch the right “gap” for the two great and Shinobu to develop the end of the Ultimate team: the breath of water blended with insect breathing, sword dance interwoven into a soft and murderous performance, enough to rotate the flag in the moment.

And also thanks to anyone who has been refined, the experience becomes more balanced, at Normal level and below, the game is suitable for people who only want to track the plot in the Story Mode, while the most difficult level “very hard”, requires accuracy of the “Timing” rhythm and combined with defensive techniques such as counterparts (parry) or dodge (dodge), vital elements in stress phase.

The Heavy Attack mechanism is also refreshed: the character will brace and rush into the opponent as a remote approach, a part of the skill bar and no longer being immune to be destroyed as the previous part, forcing the player to calculate more carefully.

But the latest point in this section is the ability to equip Gear: From helping to heal itself when encountering critical damage, reducing skills consumption to increase the strength of each attack, causing the fight to have a little bit of role -playing (RPG), but you can still turn it off if you want to keep the original experience.

In addition, the number of characters in the second part also increases significantly, up to more than 40, and will certainly increase when DLC Infinite And maybe the last chapter with Muzan, will be released in the future

Most characters can also choose many variants or great techniques from tanjiro's breath of water or switch to the breath of solar, until Ha Tru Muichirou shows the sixth: Nguyet Ha Tieu or Saturday: Nguyet Lung.

Continuing the quintessence from the previous part, the battle system of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Still the focus in the experience

Experience of single player

Different from the first part, Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Opening a fiery with an unequal war between Tanjiro and Thuong Huyen Luc Daki. The fiery slashes of the Fire Spirit Dance ripped the silk strip of the blood of the magic, as if to swallow the whole roof of the tile tile of the town.

From that “offering” scene, the game rolled you on the journey to recreate the full three main stories: “Towning Institute”, “Forge Forge Village” and “Great training training” in Story Mode – now smoother thanks to the discovery of the map to be upgraded to the button … running fast, a small improvement but “worth money”, eliminating the feeling of lumbering when moving the previous part of the previous part.

On the way to scour this open -selling map, players will still hunt for small treasures hidden in every corner and collect Kimetsu Point to “unlock” emotional memories, or buy their favorite costumes and characters (before having to play the Story Mode)

The cutting segments integrated with the main battles are seamlessly staged, elaborate as if they are watching the anime movie from the 3D perspective. The familiar voice actor and a heavy character expression made every moment the climax became lively.

From the moment of Mitsuri's tendency to launch Hantengu's dragon's head dance, to the silence of choking when Gyutaro remembers Daki's childhood, or Tanjiro's lullaby to ease the demons that are invading Nezuko. All are integrated just enough, not too long to disconnect the game's action but still deep enough to move the new players who first come to Demon Slayer.

But the brightest point of Story Mode is still the bosses that are cared for to each frame and the corner. Each expression, dialogue and sound together create a feeling like living in a top anime episode.

Specifically, after lowering each decisive battle, the player will be challenged with a string of QTE button (Quick Time Event), if done correctly, you will enjoy the skillful, spectacular and flashy stages, perfectly reproduce the film making style that made the name of Ufotable.

In addition to “story mode” or online, players can also try and “plow” more items, intrinsic with other single game modes such as “vs mode” or “The Path of a Demon Slayer”, both practicing skills and reviewing memorable moments from the first episodes to the present.

The brightest point of Story Mode is still the bosses that are cared for by each frame and corner

The most attractive is the training part with the “Hashira Training”, a unique new mode of Roguelike style, where you have to lead your team across the opponent in each branch as on the chessboard, accompanied by special battle conditions (Conditions), especially to defeat the opponent when there are more than 80% blood, must end with an Ultimate Art, weighing two blood and blood, then the end of the power and the end of the power and the end of the end of the power and the end of the end of the power and the end of the energy. The set of strength to defeat the great pillar.

You will hate

Not enough depth, excess regret

Despite all the legendary battles, story mode Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Still making fans hard to avoid feeling … disappointed.

The map of symbolic areas such as townships or blacksmith villages is meticulously recreated to each roof tile and lantern, but that world is like a beautiful “stage” just to lead you from one battle to another. NPCs are lifeless, lack of depth, do not bring memorable interactive moments or attractive “fan service” missions that any believer Demon Slayer Any desire to expect.

The secondary missions are most monotonous as the first version, just walking from point A to point B, activating the “osmotic sensory” for NPC's endoscopy or finding some lost items somewhere, then returning to answer some empty, “inanimate” dialogue.

There is no unexpected imprint or a small creative story to bring a new experience to the fans of the film.

Worth mentioning is that the collection and unlock system is still so poor! Kimetsu Point scores accumulated after many hours of playing just in exchange for … avatar, voice reading and makeup to adorn online documents are the main.

Character costumes have no special variant, apart from the school uniforms (Academy), the pillars are only around with the choice of … Turn on/off the haori jacket. There is no interesting outfit that makes the player see the reward is worthy, even, a Gacha game on the phone and the topic is also harder to “spoil” fans, Zenitsu also wears a cool “outfit” with a cool cyberpunk style.

The potential is left open!

Easy to understand when Cyberconnect2 choose to release The Hinokami Chronicles 2 On the day of the episode “Infinite Thanh” in the global theater, a country walked skillfully and stimulated the bridge and “awakened” the fan community is anxious. But in return, the player has not yet touched the horny characters and the highest battles of the original: from the choking confrontation with the highest Kokushibou “balanced” all three great cylinders with Genya, the death war with Thuong Huyen Nhi Douma, or even the “last boss” Muzan is also completely absent, it is difficult to understand!

For those who are familiar with Cyberconnect2 dividing the content according to the anime progress, this is not new, but the feeling of disappointment is still inevitable, especially when considering the game price at the time of launch is not cheap.

It was like ordering a “hearty party”, but the most delicious chef appointment … The next meal will move up, and of course, you will have to hook more to … buy DLC for the whole taste.

The graphics aspect also does not leave much impression, the game “Vu Nhu Can” with Engine Unreal Engine 4 from the previous section, performance to part two has not been thoroughly optimal. Free moving segments on the map or when the character launches with a fiery, flashy effect can make the frame clear, even on the PS5 Pro that the writer experience, it's hard to accept when this is a game designed for the generation … PS4.
