Here is everything you need to know about Demon Slayer Sweep the Board, including its release date, platforms, gameplay, boards, dice, and mini games.

Demon Slayer Sweep the Board release date and platform

The game is scheduled to be released in Asia on April 25, 2024, exclusively on Nintendo Switch.

Demon Slayer Sweep the Board gameplay

Demon Slayer Sweep the Board offers a captivating four-player party game experience where players and their friends immerse themselves in an array of Kimetsu no Yaiba-themed mini-games.

The game boasts a diverse roster of characters, allowing players to step into the shoes of iconic figures such as Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira, as well as the formidable Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corp.

Players navigate the Demon Slayer board by rolling dice, encountering challenges along the way.

Success hinges on accumulating Slayer Coins and Rank Points (RP). Slayer Coins can be utilized to purchase items from merchants and unlock features on the board.

Efficiently managing Slayer Coins is crucial for maximizing RP, as the player with the most RP at the end of the game will be declared the Strongest Demon Slayer swordsman.

Demon Slayer party game boards

At the time of writing, the game has three boards inspired by prominent locations from the Demon Slayer series.

The most recent two boards were announced by SEGA on December 4.

• Board 1: Mount Fujikasane and Asakusa
• Board 2: Tsuzumi Mansion and Mount Natagumo
• Board 3: Mugen Train

These boards serve as the backdrop for the mini-games and demon battles players will encounter throughout their Demon Slayer adventure.

Demon Slayer dice

Adding an extra layer of strategy and excitement to the gameplay, each Demon Slayer possesses a unique Slayer’s dice with powerful effects.

These dice can be used strategically, but players must be mindful, as there is a cooldown period of three turns before they can be used again.

Additionally, forming alliances with other Demon Slayers allows players to access their allies’ Slayer’s dice, providing a tactical advantage in the quest for victory.

Demon Slayer Sweep the Board mini games

The game offers various engaging mini-games with a unique Demon Slayer twist.

From “Sneaky Sword Styling,” where players attempt to make serrations on Inosuke’s jagged Nichirin Sword without getting caught, to “Tanjiro’s Total Concentration Training,” where assistance is provided to Tanjiro during intense training sessions, the mini-games bring the series to life in a new and interactive way.

Other mini-games include the team-oriented “Team Memory Matching,” requiring collaboration to match cards with the same picture, and the intense “Knock ‘Em Out! Chanbara Swordplay,” where players trade blows to push opponents out of the zone.

These mini-games not only provide entertainment, they also help you earn Slayer Coins and Rank Points (RP).
