DEMONSCHOOL

This new tactics RPG combines familiar elements into something that looks completely new. The hook is that movement equals action—a new one on me when it comes to isometric turn-based combat. You select a character and choose a direction, and they’ll interact with whatever’s on that path, attacking enemies and buffing friendlies.

But a clever new combat system is just one of the is bringing to the table. You begin the game as Faye, a new student at a ‘college’ for malcontents, and also heir to a famous lineage of demon hunters. You’ll soon have four characters in your party, each with their own class and movement techniques. The combat system is streamlined and focused on comboing your characters’ moves to destroy foes more efficiently.
