Part Shin Megami Tensei, part turn-based tactics game, Demonschool is one of the most inventive games in a long time. After spending some time with it at PAX West 2022, my excitement for Demonschool shot through the roof thanks to its spooky tone, beautiful art, and unique spin on its tactics gameplay. From developer Necrosoft Games, this adventure puts you in the shoes of college students tasked with hunting down demons from other realms. Demonschool simultaneously capitalizes on the sim aspects of games like Persona and SMT while standing on its own with combat that evokes Into the Breach in some ways.
