Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Unofficial MapleStory guide

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a free-to-use reference tool from Eleven Games. This serves as an unofficial game guide for the role-playing game, MapleStory M. More particularly, the Demon Slayer class. It explains the character class and the optimized skill builds for each of the job levels.

Unfortunately, the small Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba app doesn’t offer any other functionality aside from a couple of pages of guides. Even further, this app doesn’t have anything to do with the Kimetsu no Yaiba anime. You can check Kimetsu no Yaiba Shimeji and Kimetsu No Yaiba Wallpapers 4K.

Build the best Demon Slayer

The first thing to note about this Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is that it is completely unrelated to the Kimetsu no Yaiba manga and anime series. Despite the app name and its logo, it’s actually a player guide for MapleStory and its spinoffs, like MapleStory M. The Demon Slayer is a Strength-based character class that uses a variety of melee weapons.

For the app, its layout and interaction scream low production value. Once you log into the app, you are treated to screens of guide after guide, which contains character background and job level builds. Unfortunately, there’s not much interaction available but to scroll down or move to the next page. It has no videos or even background music to make the game enjoyable.

Aside from the KNY misrepresentation, another major issue with the app is that it doesn’t offer anything else. It lacks interactivity and content. It only covers the Demon Slayer class, one of about 29 character classes playable in the game. The information it offers is also available on various online forums and even on the MapleStory wiki, and switching between the app and the game makes it troublesome.

Slightly useful for MapleStory players

Putting the misrepresenting name and icon aside, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba can still prove useful for MapleStory players. By being a handy and complete guide for the Demon Slayer class, it offers value for this particular population of MS players. Unfortunately, it only covers one out of 29 character classes in the game, plus the fact that it lacks interaction, makes it not worth the time or the storage.
