World's End Club Reviews
If you’re looking for an easy-going, fairly quick, and feel-good game, I recommend picking up World’s End Club for the Nintendo Switch and become a part of the Go-Getter club!
World’s End Club feels a lot like the child of extremely talented parents. Where the Zero Escape and Danganronpa series aggressively delivered their respective themes and elements that hooked players, World’s End Club inherited their genes but not their experience. The framework is there and shines as strongly as ever, but if you’ve already played its predecessors, it feels less like an equal and more like both franchises dialed down in volume. There’s an exact audience for World’s End Club: teenagers who want to experience what Zero Escape and Danganronpa have to offer but aren’t ready for heavy technical reading or the mental anguish of executing classmates. It’s good, it’s sweet, but it’s immature. And honestly? That’s just fine.
World's End Club is a great title for those who are fans of the visual novel genre. It features about 20 hours of really exciting, and at the same time, relaxing but not inconclusive story with a highly intriguing and not-to-be-missed plot!

World's End Club is the carefree in the midst of disaster, the light at the end of the tunnel, a journey in the company of friends to whom it is impossible not to get attached. An intriguing visual novel that plays with parallel dimensions, leading to more endings and curious "what if..." that will slowly reveal the mystery hidden under the skies of Japan.

An interesting visual novel with a bunch of plot twists and forgettable action sequences.

Are you ready for the end of the world? World's End Club is the newest title directed by Kotaro Uchikoshi from the Zero Escape series and also features Kazutaka Kodaka of Danganronpa fame as a creative director. As a member of The Go-Getters Club, you must solve puzzles and travel across Japan to save yourself, your friends, and the world at large.
The game’s main protagonists are a group of school kids who solves mysteries revolving around the imminent end of the world. Main gameplay involves a platformer/side scroller action with cute and cartoonish graphics. While the plot is about solving mysteries, the game can be quite relaxing with general puzzle elements to go through. There are some parts where the difficulty jumps, but they all factor in the focus and motivation to play through until you get to see the ending. The entire run may seem a little short for the amount of concentration you invested during gameplay. Beware of some cheesy dialogues as well.

World’s End Club is a product of some of the greatest minds in adventure storytelling. The story of the Go-Getters Club will emotionally move you in many ways through the narrative, only to be held back by unresponsive and limited platforming gameplay segments. It acts as a way for this team to step outside of their comfort zone while still being influenced by their strengths to create an unforgettable story of friendship and hope. Sadly, it requires players to look past quite a bit to fully enjoy.
It all boils down to how long you can actually put up with its puzzles, uneven framerate, and bad controls in order to actually enjoy its engaging story.
To conclude, if you’re looking for something with a slower, less life-threatening pace, lots of laugh and fun friendly banter, with a pinch of side scrolling action then World’s End Club is your Go-To. It may be lacking in game-play department and it won’t make you sweat buckets, like Ronpa or Zero Escape, but it makes it up with a great narrative, great characters, and really catchy music. I’m giving this game a 7 out of 10. “Go! Go! Go! Go-Getters, will never fall apart!”
World’s End Club is a puzzle action-adventure game that takes you to the end of the world. Originally launched on Apple Arcade in 2020, the full experience has now landed on the Nintendo Switch. With plenty of ideas and a cast of likeable characters, is World’s End Club a club worth joining?
World's End Club has sparks of brilliance, mostly in its settings and plot, but it's weighed down by boring platforming sequences and a very limited budget.

This is not the game that will bring instant glory to Too Kyo Games, as World's End Club is rather mediocre. The narrative is intriguing, but the arcade sequences are visually very basic and offer little to no challenge. A half faux pas, considering the developers behind it.

World's End Club is an excellent story with some abysmal platforming tying it together. While story sections greatly outnumber gameplay sections, these stand out as a sore spot that may put off some players.
Overall, World's End Club is a game that I'd say is worth playing at least once for the experience. It can be painful, but some moments genuinely surprised and impressed me enough not to hate it as much as I could.
World’s End Club is an exploration and survival game where decision-making will determine the end of our story. Despite having a great plot, the gameplay makes the game feel awkward on many occasions, making the experience worse.

World’s End Club tells an interesting story that is consistent with its creators and brings a beautiful story of friendship between a group of children. However, its platform gameplay is too weak, not adequately exploiting the possibilities offered with short and simple stages. Fans of Kodaka and Uchikoshi can have fun and overlook the issues, but both have worked on much better titles before.

Despite being lackluster and downright flawed, I couldn't help but find World's End Club charming thanks to its sincerity and campiness.
World's End Club will keep you interested enough for at least one playthrough with its intriguing premise and fun presentation. However, the lackluster platforming and puzzle-solving may put you off playing it again and again to unlock the full story.
Most Awakened Abilities are fun to use, but puzzles are boring because they're such a breeze to complete
