The Mario Party-style Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board! game coming to Nintendo Switch has received an overview trailer ahead of its April 26 release date.
The trailer, below, shows how the dramatic and action-packed Demon Slayer anime has been transferred into party game ridiculousness, showing the likes of Tanjiro and Nezuko rolling dice and taking part in myriad minigames.
Up to four players can choose from 12 characters and move around boards inspired by the likes of Tsuzumi Mansion, Mount Natagumo, and the Mugen Train. Players move around by rolling dice just like in traditional board games, with the separate squares triggering minigames, offering the ability to buy helpful items, giving upgrades, and more.
The minigames also pull scenes from the anime, like one revolving around smacking Tanjiro with a stick when he stops breathing properly, another with Inosuke smashing bits out of his sword, and more.
The Demon Slayer anime continues to prove popular and will likely continue to do so due to its fourth season imminently premiering in April 2024. Though its first two seasons were incredibly well-received, IGN wasn't a fan of the latest.
In our 5/10 review, we said: "Demon Slayer Season 3 continues to show ufotable's skill at crafting visually stunning action, but the season is bogged down by repetitive and overly long fight scenes and a dull story."
