World's End Club: Deluxe Edition

Thanks to its adorable characters and a story that makes no excuses for how absurd it is, World's End Club is a lot of fun.

Most Awakened Abilities are fun to use, but puzzles are boring because they're such a breeze to complete

World's End Club has some good ideas and a lot of heart, but it ultimately doesn't come together as anything particularly notable. Though World's End Club looks and sounds great, the monotonous platforming sections and hit-and-miss storytelling really drag the overall experience down. We'd give this game a light recommendation to fans of visual novels, but otherwise you're better served playing the various better visual novels and puzzle platformers already on Switch. This is the very definition of 'okay'.

World's End Club comes from a legacy of murder mystery visual novels. However, this lighthearted successor doesn't quite meet the same standard. A wholesome but underwhelming tale.

In some respects, I understand why World’s End Club didn’t get nearly as much attention as Uchikoshi’s other work. But I also think a creative, interesting, title that keeps you guessing like this deserves a bit more “cult” status than it has. So consider this me doing my part in telling you that if you enjoy Uchikoshi’s other work, World’s End Club is definitely worth spending some time with; just don’t go in expecting exactly what you’ve seen from him in those previous titles, keep an open mind… and protect Nyoro at all costs.

Despite having some rather large names behind its development World’s End Club is rather forgettable despite being aimed at a younger audience.

World’s End Club has a great story, but it isn’t a great game.

While I appreciate Too Kyo Games’ experimenting with gameplay in a visual novel, the execution leaves a lot to be desired, and it drags down an otherwise interesting premise.

To conclude, if you’re looking for something with a slower, less life-threatening pace, lots of laugh and fun friendly banter, with a pinch of side scrolling action then World’s End Club is your Go-To. It may be lacking in game-play department and it won’t make you sweat buckets, like Ronpa or Zero Escape, but it makes it up with a great narrative, great characters, and really catchy music. I’m giving this game a 7 out of 10. “Go! Go! Go! Go-Getters, will never fall apart!”

If you’re looking for an easy-going, fairly quick, and feel-good game, I recommend picking up World’s End Club for the Nintendo Switch and become a part of the Go-Getter club!
