Persona and Final Fantasy Tactics collide in this gloriously grotesque strategy RPG Demonschool is an approachable tactical RPG with a radioactive amount of style and flair.

Pentiment's medieval setting remains the perfect backdrop for a detective tale focused on faith and truth Anniversary | Pentiment remains one of the best detective games of all time, and a major part of why is directly linked to its setting
