Demonschool is Persona meets Buffy and I love its 90s vibes


Eurogamer play the Steam Next Fest demo for Demonschool, an upcoming tactical RPG with big 90s Buffy the Vampire Slayer energy.

Buffy and her friends were off slaying vampires and demons and investigating strange happenings that mysteriously occurred repeatedly in this one school, but her peers remained seemingly oblivious. She recruits a number of schoolkids to her cause who each awaken to their demon-hunting powers: so far that's the nerdy Knute, the bookish Namako, and the trademark lovable himbo Destin, though the final game will include 15 playable characters in total. Added to the bold artwork, a dark yet funky soundtrack, and an over-the-top cartoonish aesthetic (I love the bouncy run animation), and Demonschool is yet another brilliant example of silly adults bested by a plucky gang of pesky kids.
