Demonschool is a new-style tactics RPG where motion equals action. Defeat big weirdos in between the human and demon worlds as Faye and her misfit companions, while navigating university life on a mysterious island.

  • Tactics: Rewind any action during the planning phase and create combos to dispatch your foes.
  • Story: A light horror narrative told through huge avatars with side quests aplenty.
  • Schedule: Plan your school schedule to level your characters and build their skills.
  • Friendship: 15 characters with whom to build relationships.

Units interact contextually with their environment. Enemies will be struck, objects moved, or the character will simply dash.

Plan movements at your leisure, and execute them all at once. You can also rewind actions during the planning phase.

Buffing friendlies and debuffing enemies compounds damage output. Note the damage numbers!

Combos do big damage and produce unique elemental attacks, which you can use to exploit enemy weaknesses.

Explore a mysterious island that reveals its mysteries morning, noon, and night, day by day, week by week, across a university semester. Plan your team’s schedule to enhance their skills and gain new abilities. Gain new teammates and enhance their relationships depending on who you choose to pursue.

Output Lag Review

7.5 Good

DemonSchool nails what made early Persona games special: that unsettling vibe of fighting cosmic horror with nothing but your friends and your fists. The tactical combat strips away menu diving entirely, turning every battle into a violent puzzle where movement is action. At $25, it's an easy recommendation for anyone who wants their tactics games faster and their horror games weirder.

Pros

  • Distinctive Aesthetic ripped from Suehiro Maruo manga
  • The combat system strips away menu diving so that movement IS action
  • Time management system isn't anxiety inducing

Cons

  • Pacing can drag in the middle chapters
  • Combat encounters can be come repetitive
  • Despite the large cast, some characters feel underdeveloped
