Overview
- Necrosoft Games and Ysbryd Games released Demonschool on November 19 for PC via Steam and Epic, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, with a 10% Steam launch discount through December 3.
- The tactics system uses a planning-and-action turn structure on a grid, emphasizes positioning, allows unlimited rewinds and restarts, and grades battles instead of relying on traditional leveling.
- Players manage a weekly college calendar with side quests, minigames, and optional romance across a roster of 15 recruitable characters that can influence combat synergies.
- Critics highlight stylish presentation, accessible design, and clever encounters, but widely point to repetitive, frequent battles; early Steam user reviews are roughly 95% positive.
- Performance reports differ by platform, with some reviewers citing freezes and crashes in specific encounters, while others note smooth play on Switch and PC.
