    Demonschool is a game with a strong personality and a distinctive aesthetic, blending PS1-style pixel art with references to classic ’90s JRPGs and an atmosphere reminiscent of Italian horror cinema. However, the game’s ambition often works against it: the story is predictable, the cast is underdeveloped, and the constant humor rarely lands as intended. The combat system, despite some interesting ideas, becomes repetitive as the game progresses and lacks a real sense of progression or reward. Demonschool ultimately leaves the impression of unfulfilled potential, making it an interesting but never memorable experience.

  1. Demonschool is a very frictionless game that makes it easy to coast along and just see its story play out as you watch its characters interact with each other. If the writing clicks with you, then you’ll probably have a good enough time just taking in the vibes and laughing at the characters, but unfortunately it didn’t click with me at all. With its characters that annoyed me, story that undermined its own appeal, and gameplay that was streamlined to the point of dullness, I found myself bored the entire time I was playing. The striking and vibrant visuals are the only thing that really shines in a package that is otherwise utterly and totally forgettable.
