Demonschool’ Launches to Strong Praise for Tactics and Style, With Caveats on Pacing and Polish

Early reception spotlights stylish, clever combat tempered by repetitive encounters.

Overview

  • Necrosoft Games’ tactical RPG is out Nov. 19 on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox Series X/S, published by Ysbryd Games.
  • Reviews commend the planning-and-execution combat that uses limited action points and positional combos on grid maps.
  • The school-life structure runs on a weekly calendar with side quests, minigames, relationship events, and a large roster of 15 recruitable characters.
  • Multiple outlets cite encounter density and similar mission goals as the chief drawbacks, making progression feel repetitive over a long campaign.
  • Technical notes vary by platform, with some critics reporting minor visual quirks and at least one experiencing freeze-and-crash scenarios, while others reported smooth play.
