Teenage Demon Slayer Society bills itself as “a bold new turn-based take on character action games, featuring style ranks, customizable movesets, and cool, endearing characters.” Strangely, my brain can make sense of that salad of descriptors, which is sad, because I get confused when paperwork asks for my address.…

Strange Scaffold, the creator of Sunshine Shuffle and El Paso, Elsewhere, has confirmed details of their next title – Teenage Demon Slayer Society. Set to launch for PC in 2024, Teenage Demon Slayer Society is described as a “stylish action/strategy” game which tasks players with saving the world via “flashy turn-based battles inspired by games like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta”. “Thanks to shady deals conducted by the US Government in the 1980s, today, demons are flooding the small Midwestern city of Fall Rapids.…
