Dead or School has a lot of fun elements about it but om Switch at least it is marred by an incredible amount of jank including falling through solid objects and Hisako's automatic "hop up" animation causing real problems if near gaps, resulting in her endlessly "hopping" to her death if shes knocked down near an edge without you managing to double jump yourself out of trouble. The default control scheme is horrible and levels become labyrinth's of annoyance due to the jank and over intricate platforming for what is meant to be a run and gun/hack n slash, and what can be extreme difficulty spikes with some mini games where you become frustrated not by genuine, fair, difficulty but cheap artificial difficulty done just to annoy not challenge. On top of these things is a clumsy, downright poor UI making the skill tree difficult to see and weapons/add-ons for weapons a nightmare to manage. Don't pay the £40+ this costs new physically, or the £25+ for it second hand or digitally, its not deserving of that due to the lack of polish. If you can find it for £10 or so, sure, otherwise think very carefully before purchasing.

Dead or School is a hidden gem that delivers a surprisingly engaging experience, blending action, platforming, and RPG elements with a generous dose of humor and sensuality. Fluid and Fun Gameplay - The game's greatest strength lies in its fluid gameplay, especially the combat. The variety of weapons, with the sword standing out, offers dynamic and exciting action that keeps players hooked. Platforming: The Weak Link - On the downside, the platforming sections are somewhat tedious. While they don’t ruin the overall experience, they could have been more refined, particularly in level design. Story: Cliché but Captivating - The narrative of Dead or School doesn’t break new ground. Yes, it’s a post-apocalyptic cliché, but if you set aside preconceived notions and allow yourself to immerse in the story, it becomes an epic and deeply captivating experience. The game’s exploration of morality, showing that there’s no absolute good or evil but rather different perspectives, is reminiscent of classics like The Walking Dead and Terminator. This depth is unexpected, given the game’s otherwise lighthearted tone. Humor and Sensuality - The humor is well-timed and serves as a welcome break from the chaos, effectively balancing the apocalyptic setting. Additionally, the game doesn’t shy away from exploring the sensuality of its female characters. While divisive, this aspect feels deliberate and unashamed, contributing to the game’s unique identity. Real-World References - Another notable aspect is the inclusion of iconic Tokyo landmarks, such as Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. These references create a tangible connection to the setting, making exploration even more enjoyable. Replayability and Trophies - After completing the story, the game falls short in terms of post-game content. There isn’t much to do beyond revisiting areas or perfecting your combat skills. However, earning the platinum trophy is incredibly satisfying, as most trophies come naturally and there are no missable ones—a relief for completionists. Final Verdict: Overall, Dead or School offers an excellent experience. Despite some flaws in the platforming sections and a story that initially feels cliché, the game redeems itself with its dynamic combat, charismatic characters, engaging narrative, and a world that blends fantasy with reality. It’s a journey worth taking, especially for those seeking something off the beaten path.
