Set in post-apocalyptic Tokyo, the game follows Hisako, a girl who lives underground and wishes to see the surface after a war forced her grandmother underground 70 years prior whose only memory of the real world were schools.

Along with hack-and-slash, Dead or School also has action RPG and platformer elements. The goal is for the player, as Hisako, to defeat monster enemies throughout Tokyo (Shinjuku, Asakusa, Akihabara, Roppongi).[2]

Reception

Dead or School received a mixed critical reception with an aggregate score of 65/100 on Metacritic.[3] In a positive review, Pete Davison of Nintendo Life praised the stages, style and narrative, but noted a number of "technical jank".[4] Digitally Downloaded wrote that "Being a budget game it struggles to maintain a consistency in tone and experience, but a solid loot and upgrade system, some great boss fights, and a good sense of humour, all help to see it through."[5] MANiAC scored it 68%.[6]

Both the PS4 and Switch versions received 31 out of 40 on Famitsu.[7]
