World's End Club doesn't exude the same intensity as its inspirations, but it makes their themes far more accessible to younger audiences.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is featuring a wide variety of games on sale, slashing up to 74% off on plenty of action-adventure, fighting, racing, and role-playing games across multiple gaming platforms right now!"
Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers:
"Bringing together the writer of the Danganronpa series and having them work with the director of the Zero Escape franchise will bring fans rushing to whatever the pair are working on. These incredibly popular visual novel puzzle games are mainstays of the genre and with World’s End Club seeking to combine their talents into an entirely new property, fans were quite eager to see what would come of the game. With a toned down narrative and more childlike focus, those familiar with the previous two properties may want to keep their hopes in check."
MonsterVine: "World’s End Club has a great story, but it isn’t a great game."
