Dead or School is an entry-level hack ’n slash side-scrolling Metroidvania with AAA fun. Not to mention the Japanese aesthetics and fan-service with western campy b-movie goodness – it practically sells itself at this point! If you’re looking for a relaxing, easy-to-play game with tons of customisation and RPG elements then look no further. Dead or School shows us that slaying zombies, saving mankind, and continually customising your gear doesn’t have to be complicated to be intuitive, simple to understand mechanics and fantastic gameplay enhanced the fun factor I felt whilst playing – as well as the Fan Service…

For some, the technical jank may be enough to put them off engaging with Dead or School fully. That’d be a real shame, though; allow yourself to get wrapped up in the narrative, the mechanics, the piles of loot, the beautifully designed stages and the game’s wonderful sense of style, and there’s something truly special to enjoy here; an honest-to-goodness hidden gem if ever there was one.

Dead or School provides a surprisingly long side-scrolling action campaign that’s sure to please fans of Castlevania-style games, especially those who’ve grown tired of countless retro-graphic homages. The action is tight, the story is fun, and the rewards are big.
