Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! announced

Sega announced that a video game board game based on the popular anime Demon Slayer called Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! is releasing on the Nintendo Switch on April 25, 2024, in Asia.

It’s a board game where players play their favorite slayer and participate in various mini-games. The player with the most RP at the end of the game will be the winner.

Here are more details provided by Sega.

Two New Boards!

Prominent locations from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime, such as Mount Fujikasane and Asakusa, will show up on the board!

Board 2 is based on Tsuzumi Mansion and Mount Natagumo, while Board 3 is inspired by the Mugen Train. Minigames inspired by Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and battles against demons lurking on each of these stages await!

Slayer's Dice

Each Demon Slayer possesses their own Slayer's Dice that grants powerful effects unique to each member. Once used, it'll take three turns before it can be used again, so make sure to pick the right timing to maximize its effect. If another Demon Slayer becomes your ally, you will be able to use their Slayer's Dice in addition to your own.

Tackle a Variety of Mini-Games!

A glimpse at some of the new minigames:

  • Sneaky Sword Styling: Try to secretly make serrations on Inosuke's jagged Nichirin Sword without getting caught by Kanamori!

  • Tanjiro's Total Concentration Training: Assist Tanjiro as he undergoes intense training, helping him achieve Total concentration!

  • Team Memory Matching: A 2-on-2 team battle where you must work together to match cards with the same picture!

  • Knock 'Em Out! Chanbara Swordplay: Trade blows with your opponent and try to push them out of the zone!

Animal Well Review - A Wholly Unique Pixel Art Puzzle Masterpiece

It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.

Stellar Blade Review - A Challenging Adventure That Doesn’t Stick the Landing

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Review - Meeting This Epic Adventure Halfway

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.
