For major game manufacturers, it is undoubtedly a difficult task to make a successful animation adaptation game, especially for some popular IPs, fans' expectations for characters, plots, and combat performance are almost harsh, while players outside the circle require the game to be independent and playable.

After all, this requires developers to respect IP, make the core gameplay of the game fit the original worldview and satisfy IP fans.At the same time, you should not use too much force. You should have enough interesting content to attract players outside the circle and avoid becoming a work that fans can enjoy themselves.

So when talking about the animation-adapted game, the first thing that comes to mind is the "turnover" scene.However, "Demon Slayer: Blade of Demon Slayer: Blood Wind Tan of Fire" (hereinafter referred to as "The Blood Wind Tan of Fire") delivered a satisfactory answer.

Two weeks after its release, the game's sales exceeded one million. So far, the global cumulative sales have reached 4 million copies, becoming one of the highest-selling animation-adapted games under Aniplex.As an animation-adapted game, it is rare to achieve such results.

It is also for this reason that the sequel "Demon Slayer: Blade of Demon Slayer: Fire God Blood Wind Tan 2" (hereinafter referred to as "Fire God Blood Wind Tan 2") has been highly anticipated by players since its first release at the end of last year.

Now, "The God of Fire Blood Wind 2" is getting closer and closer to its release date. Judging from the news released so far, the new chapter's plot, the roles such as the Nine Pillars participating in the battle have expanded to more than 40, the addition of a new combat system, and the "Way of Cultivation" and other new gameplay. Compared with the previous work, the sequel "The God of Fire Blood Wind 2" can be regarded as a comprehensive evolution.

A further "Demon Slayer Blade"

As a sequel, "The God of Fire Blood Wind 2" basically inherits the gameplay experience of the previous work.In short, players will play the role of "Demon Slayer" to review the plot of the animation from their perspective, and personally control the characters to experience 3D battles.

However, thanks to the comprehensive evolution of the sequel, players can feel a more immersive plot experience in the game.

"The God of Fire Blood Wind 2" will include the animation "You Guo Chapter", "Blade Village Chapter" and "Pillar Training Chapter". Fans who have read all the animations are not afraid of being spoiled.

As the plot deepens, many new characters including Iwatsuki Whispering Islemn, Romantic Pillar Ganluji Miri, and Shitoshi Toru Ichiro will appear one after another.Correspondingly, the game has more than 40 operable characters.Among them, the most heavyweight one is the highest swordsman in the "Ghost Killing Team", as well as the stringed ghosts such as Zebotian and Yuhu.It is indeed a novel experience to be able to play the role of the highest combat power of the Demon Slayer Team and personally engage in a passionate showdown with the Winding Ghost.

On the other hand, "The God of Fire Blood Wind 2" enhances the immersion of players in "playing a role".For example, in "Yu Kuo", players can play the role of Tanjiro, Simono and Inosuke to explore towns and investigate suspicious areas.And during this period, players can use abilities that match the character's characteristics, such as using Tanjiro's Exploring Smells and Inosuke's perception, tracking ghosts' traces, or relying on Simony's excellent hearing to detect sounds in the room.

In addition to being able to explore freely, in order to emphasize the "sense of play", "The God of Fire Blood Wind 2" also designed many scenes that allow players to "choose what to do" by themselves.Before entering a key plot point, players can choose whether to enter the next plot or stay and continue to explore.For example, in "You Guo Pian", Shan Yi will encounter a fallen girl after entering a room due to investigation of crying. In the game, players can choose whether to enter the room and advance the subsequent plot.However, such a small design subtly gives players the feeling of playing a role, and it is easier for players to become involved in the role and immerse themselves in the story.

In "The God of Fire Blood Wind", a battle system with a strategic and excellent audio-visual experience is a highlight of the game.The game simplifies operations based on the action template of fighting game, and eliminates the complex troubles of rubbing in fighting games. Players do not need complicated instructions, and can make refreshing segments by simply pressing the buttons.Even powerful and cool mystery skills can be cast with only one key.Players who have no experience in fighting games can also easily get started, play a set of handsome combos, experience gorgeous performances, and experience both exciting and exciting battles.

At the same time, the game also takes into account hardcore players.Focusing on the design of co-fighting troughs, substitution mechanisms and awakening state resource management, "The God of Fire Blood Wind" still retains the strategic depth of the fighting game, allowing skilled players to flash and move in high-speed fighting offense and defense.

In the fully evolved "The God of Fire Blood Wind 2", the experience of this combat system has undoubtedly reached another level.

Although the game has more controllable characters, it still uses the design that is easy to use and difficult to master in the previous work.It has intuitive actions and simple combat control, but the battle game around the common fighting trough is still very profound.

In addition, the game has also upgraded the mystery system.In the previous work, the most exciting moment in the battle is undoubtedly the scene of launching a cool mystery to end the opponent, and the sequel "super doubles" this surging feeling.

Not only did it increase the number of mystery of some characters from one to two, it also added a "combination mystery" with gorgeous effects to specific characters.Players can trigger the combination mystery during battle by combining two specific characters.In addition, the game also added a large number of interactive voices between different characters during the battle session, and combined with the explosive combat performance, further enhancing the fun of the battle.In terms of gameplay, this game has added a new mode called "Training Road".In this mode, players can improve their combat skills by challenging the pillars.In order to enrich the player's experience, the game has put some conditions in the challenge, such as "maintain half of the blood volume to win", "a battle releases two secrets", etc.And in the challenge, players can freely choose the promotion route. Since the opponents of different routes and the enhancement abilities that can be selected are different, this gameplay has a feeling of the meat pigeon mode, and each game has a certain freshness.

Previously, when "The God of Fire Blood Wind" was first released, it was criticized by some players for its weak late-stage players.To this end, the sequel to "The God of Fire Blood Wind 2" has learned the lessons from the previous work and added a lot of content that players can play in depth, such as achievements in different modes, character proficiency, and custom elements.

Among them, the addition of the "equipment" system also improves the strategic depth of combat gameplay, further weakens the boredom of replaying later.The so-called "equipment" system is the equipment with various effects that players can equip in the game, providing certain buffs for combat.This undoubtedly brings more decisions to the battle. Whether it is to match equipment by yourself based on the enemy's attributes, or selecting appropriate equipment based on the character's characteristics in the battle mode, it makes the player's combat strategies more diverse.

Conclusion

In general, "Demon Slayer: Blade of Demon Slayer: Fire God Blood Wind 2" is completely an enhanced version of the previous work "The God of Fire God Blood Wind 2".The more immersive plot experience, the fully evolved combat gameplay, as well as more characters and more playable post-production content, all bring the experience of "The God of Fire Blood Wind 2" to a higher level.
