Game Informer conjures up its favorite games of 2025, casting forth 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. Check out their thoughts in the video below:

Join college freshman Faye, descended from a demon-hunting family lineage, as she discovers creatures she’d only seen in ancient tomes, now haunting an enigmatic island university. Survive a semester like no other by making friends, forging relationships, and battling gruesome monsters inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s Italian horror cinema and Japanese horror manga on a chess-like board where movement equals action.

Bring together an unstoppable battle party from hundreds of combinations among 15 playable characters, selecting between Faye’s unbridled kicks, Namako’s debuffs, Destin’s short-shorts-fueled knockbacks, and more to create the perfect group for each combat situation. Boost their distinct skills and abilities by scheduling them for training and accepting their side quests outside of class hours. Cultivate bonds between every pair to compose powerful combos in battle!
