Hero collecting game based on Demon Slayer
DS:Blade of Hashira is a free-to-play action game from Cody Christopher w. This strategic RPG lets you build your team of characters from the hit manga and anime series, Demon Slayer. Find and collect the strongest demons and demon slayers and fight through various levels. With a single-player campaign and various other activities, this anime-themed game is designed to keep you for longer.
Its accurate character portraits and models make DS:Blade of Hashira a treat for fans of the series. However, the combat and gacha mechanics can make it less enjoyable than other games like Black Clover M.
Build the ultimate team
In DS:Blade of Hashira, you randomly draw characters from Demon Slayer. On one side, you have the demons created by Kibutsuji Muzan, including the Twelve Demon Moons such as Kokushibo and Hantengu. On the other, you have members of the Demon Slayer Corps. This faction includes Yoriichi the original slayer as well as the current Hashiras, such as Gyomei and Rengoku — letting you explore the entire roster for creating your ultimate team.
Its main offering is a single-player campaign where you follow a storyline and fight against custom enemy groups. The story isn’t canon but offers a unique take on the Demon Slayer world. Aside from this linear game, there are also a lot of other features that incentivize continued playing. You get rewards for logging in, and there are regular lottery events that reward you with various items.
Of course, its gacha system means randomized draws for items and characters. This gives an advantage to players willing to purchase with real-world money. Also, the combat system can come across as too simplified. Fights are automated and generally, the team with the higher attack power wins. Each character has multiple skills, although the player doesn’t choose between them, limiting the interactivity with the game.
An enjoyable Demon Slayer game
DS: Blade of Hashira offers a chance to build your ultimate team from the Demon Slayer universe, featuring iconic characters from both the Demon Slayer Corps and Kibutsuji Muzan’s demons. While the single-player campaign and reward system provide long-term engagement, the gacha mechanics favor paying players, and the automated combat limits interactivity. Despite these drawbacks, it remains an enjoyable experience for fans of the series looking to explore a new take on the story.
