What players think
The recurring themes across 268 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
This unusual premise gives the adventure a charming identity, blending emotional storytelling with exaggerated violence, exploration, and satisfying progression mechanics.
Well I guess there's plenty of "plot" and actually a pretty decent story throughout the game - feels a lot like the standard manga/anime sci-fi fare from the 90s.
DEAD OR SCHOOL is an entertaining side-scrolling action RPG that combines intense zombie combat, anime-inspired storytelling, and surprisingly extensive character customization.
The increasing difficulty also gives players a practical reason to experiment with different weapons and improve their character builds.
The game supports the default controller configuration and generally performs well with its standard graphics settings.
With its wide selection of skills and weapons, players can create a variety of builds for the main character and it has a dodge mechanic that is very useful.
