Fans of the action-packed board game adaptation of the hit anime series will find fresh content in SEGA's just released exciting new update for Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board!. Now live on Steam, the version 1.20 update provides free new game boards, minigames, and more character interactions!
What’s New in Version 1.20?
Inspired by the Hashira Training Arc from the anime, the newest update brings "Board Six," a brand-new board. Now able to explore this new environment, players will come across well-known characters and participate in cooperative challenges bringing the intense training sequences of the arc to life.
Players will encounter several well-known supporting characters as they move across the new board, including Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma, who are here to help with different tasks. If you land on specific areas, you could even get instruction from the Hashira themselves, adding an interesting fresh layer of strategy and surprise to the game.
New Minigames to Test Your Skills
Two more minigames added by the update also bring the light-hearted and competitive attitude of the anime to Sweep the Board!
- Cold Soba Noodle Speed-Eating Contest
Button-mashing frenzy, race against the water hashira! Players have to press buttons in the right sequence to slosh down cold soba noodles faster than their opponent. This quick challenge tests your reflexes and timing and is fun.
- Fly the Distance!
This minigame calls for timing and accuracy. To launch your paper airplane successfully, you need to stop the gauge at the proper moment. Be cautious, though; gusts of wind can slow you down and provide an additional challenge.
These additions will definitely give players more fun and variation, so every session on the board should feel interesting and different.
Nightfall Brings New Challenges
On Board Six, players have to face the Mist Hashira, Snake Hashira, and Wind Hashira, which will test their abilities when day turns to night. These evening tests call for all four players to cooperate and conquer the obstacles the Hashira sets. A welcome addition, the new cooperative gameplay element allows players to collaborate in a sequence of mini-boss-like encounters.
What Is Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board!?
Players of this board game adaptation roll dice to progress across famous anime locations including Mount Fuji and Asakusa. Aiming to become the best Demon Slayer swordsman, players of the game mix chance with strategy. The gameplay changes from day-time preparation to demon hunting at night as the board alternately day and night.
