Early Reviews for Demonschool Applaud Clever Combat, Cite Repetition and Rough Edges

The stylish school-set RPG debuts on consoles plus PC after repeated delays.

Overview

  • Critics highlight a smart, puzzle-like tactics system built on shared action points, movement-as-attack, and positioning combos.
  • Multiple reviews say the heavy volume of encounters grows repetitive and drags pacing across the long campaign.
  • Writing and social-sim moments are described as jokey but thin, with character beats often repeating rather than deepening.
  • One reviewer reports freezes and hard crashes during specific scenarios, though others note stable performance on platforms like Switch and PC.
  • The release arrives on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, featuring graded battles, a roster that expands to about 15 characters, and a late-’90s horror aesthetic.
