Players will be able to use various characters from the Demon Slayer series and move them around on a board modeled after locations from the manga and anime. Tanjiro, Nezuko Zenitsu, Inosuke, and all nine Hashira members are the characters currently announced to be in the game. As the player explore locations during the daytime through rolling the dice, minigames can be triggered in order to gain strength. At nighttime, players will have to hunt and slay demons. The winner of the game is declared the strongest Demon Slayer. Up to four players can play together both online and locally.
