Grand Academy for Future Villains Demo

Being the hero is a constant theme in video games, since there are hundreds upon hundreds of stories where you manage to save the world and defeat all sorts of monsters and villains. However, it’s nice to be the antagonist every now and again as well, given the fact that you can take a different approach when it comes to tackling problems and achieving your goals.

Grand Academy for Future Villains is a text-based adventure game in which you control a character as he or she goes through the best villain academy in the world. The goal is to graduate and raise a bit of hell in the meantime, although the story is long and complex enough to be re-played multiple times without stumbling onto the same events or getting repetitive in the process.

Naturally, since the whole adventure is basically your experience with the academy itself, your character can choose which courses to attend and focus on your preferred method of destruction. Thus, whether you want to raise demons or be a mad scientist with all sorts of contraptions at your disposal, it all depends on which classes you take and how you improve your skills.

As it’s always the case with villains, they typically have a mortal enemy that keeps them motivated to do even more evil things. You can also pursue romantic relationships along the way, although you are never forced to do so by the plot. It’s also possible to keep an eye on your schedule and stats by checking the appropriate screens, so you can always stay on track with your plans.

In terms of graphics, there’s nothing to talk about, given the fact that everything is relayed in text-based form. Thus, you must use your imagination in order to visualize the game world and the characters that are part of it. On the other hand, the writing is strong enough to make that fairly simple if you are an avid reader, and you can help things along by playing a neat soundtrack in the background.

It’s nice to be the villain for a change, and Grand Academy for Future Villains gets things right when it comes to customization and your ability to influence the course of the story. Thus, you should be able to get quite a few hours out of the game if you like role-playing flicks.
