Hinokami Chronicles APK Adult Game for Android Free Download
Kimetsu no Yaiba, Demon Slayer A 3D fighting game called The Hinokami Chronicles. Everyone is aware that the Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba The Hinokami Chronicles mobile apk is accessible here in addition to the game’s original versions for the PS4, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC. CyberConnect2 created the game’s original version, and Julhiecio GameDev created the mobile version. You may play this game that is based on the Demon Slayer anime and manga series and witness all of your favorite Demon Slayer anime characters performing anime attacks. One of the most well-liked and lucrative series in a long time is The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, a manga that was later adapted into an anime. It was only a matter of time until a video game based on it was created, and with the brawler Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles, you will receive just that. The same company that produced the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series also developed Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles. It draws inspiration from its predecessor, being a third-person brawler with comparable gameplay mechanics and a fashionable appearance. Fans should not be concerned about spoilers because the plot will be similar to that of the Mugen Train movie and anime series.
Story
Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles retells the events from the Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc up to the Mugen Train arc. You take control of Tanjiro Kamado, whose world is turned upside down when he discovers his entire family has been murdered by a demon. The sole survivor is his sister, Nezuko, though he soon learns that while Nezuko’s life was spared, she was transformed into a demon. With newfound resolve, Tanjiro aspires to become a Demon Slayer to not only kill the demon who slaughtered his family but to also find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human.
I’ll admit that I’m not the biggest fan of Demon Slayer. Not to say the story is bad because it isn’t; it’s your traditional Shonen setup with a resolute main character and a goal to motivate them throughout the series. Not a poor effort, but I’ve seen similar stories many times before. With that said though, what makes Demon Slayer stand out and why I think it’s so popular is because of its eclectic character cast. A lot of them are a joy to watch, whether it be Zenitsu having severe panic attacks over the most mundane things, Inosuke being a parody of other shonen protagonists who think of nothing but fighting, Shinobu’s constant positive demeanor to the point where it’s almost disturbing, and the list goes on! This also extends to the many antagonists Tanjiro is forced to combat, who regularly have a sympathetic backstory to shed light on why they act the way they do.
Sadly, the weakest among them is our hero, Tanjiro. I didn’t hate him, but he’s just not that interesting. His unique traits extend to having a strong sense of smell, a hard head that’s regularly used to headbutt people, and… that’s it. As you might expect, he has the tenacity to never give up and has a good heart, but these kinds of traits are a dime a dozen for protagonists in this genre. What sets him apart though is that his motivation is an altruistic one and he always thinks about others before himself, even to the point of regularly sympathizing with the demons he defeats. It really helps us get behind him and his development! And before you ask, yes. Nezuko is absolutely adorable and despite the fact that she barely says anything, she serves as the emotional core of the story and I wanted to see her return to normal.
Now comes the big question: does Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles serve as a good way to experience the story for the first time? The answer is a little complicated. All the important beats in the story are covered within the game’s narrative, though it is definitely an abridged retelling. Though I do like that the game offers an optional way to see scenes not covered in the game with something called Memory Fragments. Where this sort of fumbles is due to some of them becoming unlocked much later in the game, so scenes near the start of the story are locked off until you reach a later point in the game’s narrative. It doesn’t make much sense. Regardless, the game is a solid way to get a condensed version of the Demon Slayer story!
Gameplay
Each arc in Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is separated into chapters and in order to finish the game, you’ll need to finish all eight chapters. It’s recommended that you do so, as it’s the easiest way to unlock all the characters and stages you’ll use in the game’s versus mode. It’s unfortunate then that the quality of the story mode isn’t exactly consistent. On Tanjiro’s quest to save his sister, he’ll often find himself exploring unique environments, jumping across rooftops, and sliding under shrubbery. Sounds interesting, right? Sadly, these exploration sections are the weakest aspect of the campaign. Those interactive elements I just described can only be done in pre-determined locations, which was an odd choice, given how agile the characters you’ll control are in cutscenes. Compounding this problem is how your character moves at a frustratingly slow pace, with no way to increase your movement speed. There are side quests you can tackle, but to call them side quests is quite generous. They all comprise of talking to certain people or interacting with objects, all of which are marked on your map, removing some of the enjoyment of thoroughly exploring each environment.
It doesn’t help that the story is often poorly paced too, with you often having to watch a truckload of cutscenes, along with the previously explained exploration sections before you end up fighting any demons. Thankfully, the times when you’re forced to unsheath your sword lead to the best aspects of the campaign! This is especially true with the game’s fantastic boss battles! All of these fights add a unique element to spice up the combat, whether it be using your movement options to dodge big attacks or fighting more than one boss simultaneously. All of these fights also end with an immaculately crafted interactive cutscene with CyberConnect2’s now-famous quick-time event sequences. A bit of a nitpick here, but as good as these finishing sections of boss fights are, I was disappointed to learn that some of these quick-time event sequences only require one or two button presses, which is much unlike CyberConnect2’s past titles.
Outside of the main story, you’ll also unlock special demons to fight as you complete each chapter. While completely optional, I found these to be quite enjoyable because of their difficulty and unique mechanics, such as one of them inflicting poison when attacking! Good thing too, since the vast majority of the single-player campaign is a cakewalk. Dying is quite rare, as attacks are regularly telegraphed and can be dodged if timed well. The game does thankfully get more challenging near its conclusion, though this difficulty issue doesn’t impact the campaign’s great boss encounters.
