PC Gamer’s Robin Valentine assembles a gameplan to battle big weirdos as he highlights 2025’s biggest upcoming RPGs including Demonschool, the school-life tactics RPG with hints of Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, and Italian horror cinema from developer Necrosoft Games and publisher Ysbryd Games.
“Combining a Persona-inspired visual style and cast of characters with deeply fascinating turn-based strategy combat (Into the Breach comparisons have been made…), it’s shaping up to be something seriously special.”
“I’m particularly fond of its mash-up of 2D and isometric pixelart with PS1-style 3D bosses, its trendy teen heroes facing off against bizarre polygonal beasts in its most dramatic moments.”
Find the full roundup here. Demonschool heads to class on Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, and Xbox Series X|S in Q1 2025.
