Demonschool Reviews
"Network Tactics with a School Spirit" Demonschool delivers a successful blend of tactical combat, a sarcastic tone, and social activities that give the characters distinct depth. Its distinctive visual style and dynamic music elevate the experience, while the diverse cast of characters ensures constantly fresh strategies. Despite some shortcomings, such as the lack of a storybook, the game offers a focused and enjoyable experience for fans of network and tactical games, proving that innovation is still possible within the genre.

Devilishly moreish and hard to put down, only failed by performance snags and the absence of key quality-of-life features.
I yearn for more combat crunch, but, visually, Demonschool is deliciously excessive.
Demonschool is a lot of fun and provides a challenging, yet accessible strategic landscape. The mild horror elements pair well with the relaxed and somewhat goofy tone of the story, and the art style is well-suited to the late '90s setting.On the whole, Demonschool feels well-polished and thoughtfully constructed: a huge relief after the game's multiple delays!
Demonschool has a quirky charm. I initially enjoyed its battle system, but I grew bored with it before long. Even though I had to push myself to finish it, I walked away with a satisfying experience. The characters, the witty and snappy script, and the story development kept me hooked. It's not a groundbreaking game, but for those who enjoy over-the-top humor, puzzle-like gameplay, and demonic themes, it might be a good pick.

I loved Demonschool. The tactical JRPG combat system will likely be the make-or-break component for most players. The lack of emphasis on stats is a bold choice that sometimes makes Demonschool feel more like a puzzle game than a strategy JRPG. The battle system won’t be for everyone. But the story, aesthetics, and vibes make Demonschool a real treat for longtime Shin Megami Tensei fans.
Bottom line, Demonschool delivers a fulfilling RPG experience using a forgiving and enjoyable turn-based combat system. Bundled with a light, fun supernatural story with enjoyable characters and there’s no way you can "Be Chrool to Your Scuel" with this game, highly recommended!
You might wonder if Demonschool is winking at us, aware of how it contorts itself to pack Faye’s calendar and conjures the illusion of freedom. Shortly after Faye arrives at Hemsk College, she squares up to deadlift a barbell. A dialogue tree presents you with two choices: lift the weight, or put it back down. “I told you it was nuanced,” Faye tells her recently minted best friend. Demonschool, like the exercise bit, is fun and funny. But nuanced? I’m not so sure.
The tactical RPG Demonschool was certainly worth the wait after numerous delays on the Nintendo Switch. The game's puzzle-based combat and comedic tones distinguish it from the retro influences it honors with a loving wink, and it never wears out its welcome.
Demonschool is clearly inspired by the horror hits of the early aughts, yet it produces a thrilling, inspired strategy game that stands on its own two devilish hooves.
If style and a novel approach to storytelling is what you're craving, Demonschool is worth the time commitment.
Demonschool gets high marks for its inventive and tightly designed combat system, but what really sets it apart from the rest of the class is how assured and cohesive its overall design and presentation are. While its attempts at variety and RPG depth come up a little short, Demonschool is nonetheless a vivid, stylistic mesh of Argento and Persona that, alongside strong writing and a fun cast, was a great companion over a semester of time. Come for fun innovations in turn-based tactic design, but stay for the humour, aesthetics and characters.
Demonschool from developer Necrosoft Games is a wonderful tactical turn-based fighting game that will entertain players thanks to a strong story, good strategy-led map designs, and enough characters to create multiple paths to approach fights. While it needed to be a bit less linear and more user-controlled on the story side of the tracks, it’s a fantastic experience from beginning to end.
Demonschool is a straight-A Turn-Based Strategy game. Thoughtful, stylish, innovative and incredibly fun.
Demonschool brings fresh and engaging strategic ideas to the popular Persona-like, school-focused RPG genre, but it’s held back by an overwhelming number of game-breaking bugs that desperately need fixing. After waiting three months for improvements following its initial build, I’m completely baffled that the same problems still plague it.
Fun tactical RPG in which the human and the demon worlds collide
A stylish and accessible tactical RPG that delivers smart ideas, even if a few presentation touches won’t click for everyone
But I cannot in good faith give a game that I want to like a good score; I have to rate what’s in front of me. And what I see is a lack of character growth, a lack of accessibility, and a lack of clear graphics. An interesting narrative only carries so much weight. It quickly makes one exhausted.
While Demonschool has a few issues to be fixed, it will leave you wanting to play more. With relatable characters, fun dialogue, and atmospheric music, Demonschool is a fun experience for fans of turn-based battle.
