Demonschool is a straight-A Turn-Based Strategy game. Thoughtful, stylish, innovative and incredibly fun.

Demonschool is a quirky tactics RPG that is sure to entertain players in many different aspects. From odd but lovable characters, stunning visuals, an interesting plot that transcends the human and the demon world, and engaging strategy gameplay with unique mechanics, there’s a lot to like about it. Its complex tactical mechanics may not be for everyone and may not be the best tactical RPG for a newbie, but it’s got charm.

Absolutely addictive character driven tactical RPG. Packaged with a colorful cast of characters, fun dialogue, and really unique, spooky vibes. The presentation feels both retro (Sega Saturn vibes) and fresh (weirdly great UI, of all things.) Dating sim elements are well executed and a nice add but the core gameplay is more than strong enough to keep you coming back. Simple to grasp: but deceptively complex. If you like Fire Emblem, Persona, or Tactics Ogre: you’ll like this. That said: it’s a weird game for weirdos, and I’m a weirdo. Might not be to *everyone’s* taste but it sure the hell is to mine.

A great indie game with turn-based grid combat from Necrosoft and Ysbryd, whose weakest point is undoubtedly the story and its characters.

Demonschool is the renaissance of classic Shin Megami Tensei design principles in a tight-knit retro package. Charming side content and colorful students will captivate players into its pre-established world, filled with stylish horror and strategic action-oriented battles. Whilst its fast-paced plot may leave some struggling to keep up, its simplified UI and protagonist Fayes' energetic disposition help guide you through every new development. Its streamlined approach to strategy makes it inviting to anyone who is looking for a short yet clever tactical RPG.

Demonschool is a stylish indie tactics RPG from Necrosoft Games that stands out for its creative combat and bold visuals but struggles to deliver a cohesive story. Its unique planning-based battles offer satisfying puzzle-like encounters, and its cast brings energy and humor. However, uneven pacing and late-game bloat undermine the narrative, and technical issues can disrupt progress. Demonschool has clear strengths, especially in its gameplay loop, but misses the mark on emotional depth and polish.

For a Persona fan, this game might not be exactly what you’d expect. Many of its simplified mechanics and the lack of more meaningful consequences for your choices may disappoint those looking for a deeper social experience or a calendar system that demands strategic planning. Even so, it clearly demonstrates qualities that make it a game worth recommending: its narrative is intriguing, the combat is extremely well executed, and the world it presents is full of personality. It’s worth giving Demonschool a chance, especially if you’re looking for a lighter, stylish game with thoughtfully designed battles.

Demonschool flirts with brilliance in its tactics and aesthetics but can’t keep its coursework consistent. You might enjoy the vibe but expect the semester to feel twice as long as it actually is.

I kept waiting for Demonschool to really impress me, especially in its writing. I wanted to fall for its demon-hunting crew and find myself entranced by its take on demonology. I wanted to study up on devils and ghouls alongside them, perform cool rituals, and maybe even learn awesome new slaying techniques. I wanted, maybe even expected, it to sweep me off my feet with a rich and constantly evolving fiction. Instead, what I got often felt like pastiche—well-intentioned, and lovingly handcrafted, but misshapen and hollow all the same.

Demonschool doesn't try to compete with Persona, and perhaps that's why it works so well in what it sets out to do. Its narrative is intriguing, its characters are well-developed, and the combat is strategic, creative, and rewarding. The art direction and soundtrack deliver a spectacle of their own, making each battle and each scenario a small stylized work of **** the same time, its linear pace, the lack of real consequences in the timeline, and the simplicity of the choices may disappoint those expecting a deeper social experience. The minigames range from excellent to disposable, and the progression of bonds lacks impact. However, it's still a highly recommendable game, especially if you're looking for something stylish, original, and with brilliantly designed battles. Finally, for us Brazilians, the biggest flaw is the absence of Portuguese subtitles. For a game so focused on text, this really weighs heavily and may put off many players.
