《惡魔學園》（Demonschool）是融合校園生活與戰術策略元素的新型角色扮演遊戲，由Necrosoft Games開發，預定於2025年11月19日登上PC、PlayStation 4、PlayStation 5、Xbox Series X|S以及Nintendo Switch平台。以「動作即行動」為核心設計理念，結合回合制戰術與即時行動的節奏，帶來風格鮮明且極具個性的遊玩體驗。

故事圍繞著女主角菲伊（Faye）展開，她是剛入學的大學新生，進入一所坐落於神祕島嶼上的學院就讀。這所大學表面上與常人無異，然而在黑夜降臨時卻被超自然現象所籠罩。菲伊出身於一個曾研究異界生物的家族，原本只在祖輩留下的文件中讀過關於「惡魔」的記載，如今卻親身面對這些潛伏在校園陰影中的怪異存在。為揭開真相，她將與一群性格各異的夥伴組成隊伍，一邊過著大學生的日常生活，一邊在現實與惡魔世界的交界處展開調查。

戰鬥系統受到策略名作《Into the Breach》的啟發。戰場以棋盤格構成，玩家可在「規劃階段」自由設計角色動作路線、技能使用與連段策略，並在「行動階段」一次性執行所有決策。遊戲允許玩家於規劃時反覆「倒帶」修改指令，直到找到最完美的連擊與走位組合。當所有角色同時動作時，華麗的戰鬥動畫與連鎖攻擊特效交織成極具張力的視覺盛宴。

每位角色皆擁有獨特的職能與技能，例如近戰攻擊、支援增益、遠程施法等。巧妙搭配不同角色的特技能產生「連擊」效果，造成高額傷害或觸發屬性攻擊，對特定惡魔弱點形成克制。遊戲同時融入戰術與節奏感，讓每場戰鬥既具思考性又不失爽快感。

除戰鬥外，校園生活的經營亦是核心玩法。需規劃角色的課程表與每日行程，白天可上課、訓練或執行支線任務，夜晚則潛入異界探索。透過學業與人際互動，角色的能力、友情與羈絆將逐步成長，甚至影響劇情走向。共有15位可互動角色，每個人都有獨立的背景故事與個性。與他們培養感情不僅能開啟專屬任務，也會在戰鬥中提升默契與聯合作戰能力。

在美術風格上，以像素與3D融合的懷舊畫風呈現，並大量汲取義大利恐怖電影 以及日本恐怖漫畫的視覺靈感，營造出一種既詭譎又青春的氛圍。巨大的人物立繪、誇張的表情以及陰鬱的色調，使整體畫面充滿異色美感。音樂部分則結合懷舊電子音與哥德式旋律，增強遊戲的神祕與懷舊氣息。

遊戲在試玩展示後，獲得媒體與玩家的高度關注。多家外媒如IGN、GameSpot 與 Rock Paper Shotgun 評價其為「策略RPG的新方向」，稱讚其創新的戰鬥節奏與角色互動機制。許多玩家認為，《惡魔學園》成功將校園模擬、劇情敘事與戰術策略三者平衡結合，宛如《女神異聞錄》與《火焰之紋章》的融合體，但又有著更強烈的獨立風格與電影感。

整體而言，《惡魔學園》以其深邃的戰術玩法、奇異的世界觀與風格化的藝術設計，為戰略RPG注入了新鮮活力。這不僅是一場對抗惡魔的冒險，更是一段探索友情、成長與自我認知的青春旅程。

 “Demonschool” is an upcoming new-style tactical role-playing game developed by Necrosoft Games, set to launch on November 19, 2025, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game blends strategic combat with a coming-of-age campus narrative, presenting a fusion of eerie supernatural horror and heartfelt character relationships.

The story follows Faye, a freshman entering a mysterious university located on a remote island plagued by supernatural disturbances. Though she had only read about such phenomena in her family’s old documents, she soon realizes that the legends are real. Together with her eccentric new classmates, she forms a small team to investigate the island’s mysteries and confront grotesque monsters inspired by Italian horror films and Japanese horror manga.

In combat, players can form a four-person squad chosen from 15 unique characters, each with distinct abilities and special skills. The system emphasizes team coordination and tactical precision — where movement equals action. The battlefield design is inspired by Into the Breach, dividing encounters into planning and execution phases. During planning, players can freely test and rewind their moves to find the perfect strategy, while the execution phase plays out the results in stylish, animated sequences.

Gameplay encourages players to use buffs and debuffs strategically to amplify combo attacks and exploit elemental weaknesses. Executing successful combos deals massive damage and triggers visually striking effects. The design rewards creativity, positioning, and timing rather than brute strength.

Outside of combat, Demonschool offers a detailed simulation of college life. Players plan their team’s schedule, manage training sessions, attend classes, complete side quests, and deepen friendships among the cast. These social interactions influence character growth, unlocking new skills and narrative branches depending on who Faye chooses to bond with.

The game’s world unfolds dynamically throughout a university semester, shifting between morning, afternoon, and night, with new mysteries and challenges emerging as time progresses. Its vibrant pixel-art visuals, large expressive character portraits, and a tone balancing light horror with humor and warmth have drawn significant attention from indie RPG fans.

Early previews from gaming communities have praised Demonschool for its innovative mix of tactical combat and social simulation, its stylish retro-horror art direction, and its emotionally engaging storytelling. Many players have compared it to a fusion of Persona and Into the Breach, applauding its originality and strong atmosphere. If the final version delivers on its promises, Demonschool is poised to become one of the most distinctive indie RPGs of 2025.
