Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board is available now on the Nintendo Switch
The new Mario Party-like Demon Slayer party game is finally available now.
Ahead of the anime’s return with the Hashira Training arc, the Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board party game is finally available for the Nintendo Switch.
In case you missed its reveal, this new Demon Slayer game is not like the previous Hinokami Chronicles release which is an arena fighting game (like most anime-based titles). Instead, Sweep the Board is a party game made for up to four players that’s reminiscent of Mario Party.
That’s not to say it’s just exactly the same as this game features some interesting mechanics such as a day-night cycle where players must complete mini-games in daytime and hunt Demons at night. Plus, players can take on the role of various characters from the mega-hit anime.
To give you a better idea of how the game plays, its gameplay is descried as:
“Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! transforms the 2019 anime adaptation of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba into a lively offline and online board game experience, featuring boards inspired by the world of the series! During the day, roll dice to move across the board, completing events and minigames as you prepare for nightfall. During the nighttime phase, outshine your fellow Demon-Slayer swordsmen by hunting down as many demons as possible.
Play as Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, or one of the nine Hashira. Each Demon-Slayer swordsman possesses their own Slayer’s Dice that grants powerful effects unique to each member. Once used, it’ll takes three turns before it can be used again, so make sure to pick the right timing to maximize its effect. If another Demon-Slayer swordsman becomes your ally, you will be able to use their Slayer’s Dice in addition to your own.”
