DEMON SLAYER: The Hinokami Chronicles – How To Unlock All Characters

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Hinokami Chronicles, the player is required to complete various duties in order to access all of the available fighters on the lineup.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Hinokami Chronicles is a fighting game based on the anime series Demon Slayer that allows players to put the series’ characters against one another in combat. 

Despite the fact that the game has an unexpectedly strong emphasis on storytelling and conveying the story of Demon Slayer, it is possible to rapidly acquire the characters. This makes the game accessible to players who want to jump right into battle with their friends.

The events that take place in the movie are followed closely by The Hinokami Chronicles, which are based on the 1st seasons of the Demon Slayer anime. 

Because of this, the lineup can only include characters from the animated adaptation, which means that the vast majority of the Twelve Kizuki and the Pillars cannot be controlled by the player.

Once additional seasons of the anime have been aired, it is possible that the game will experience a successor in the future, which will introduce the characters that have been featured in the original novel. This will increase the likelihood that the game will receive a sequel.

The Demon Slayers Corps is nearly entirely represented in The Hinokami Chronicles’ cast of characters, making up almost the complete cast. Nezuko stands out as a noteworthy counterexample of this rule. 

This is irrespective of the fact that there are a large number of demons that appear in the game as enemies, each of which has its own unique techniques and battlefield features.

Demons that can be controlled by the player will be made available as free downloadable content (DLC) in post-launch patches, but during the introduction timeframe of the game, players will focus primarily on Demon Slayers.
