Fun, frantic and freaky - Extreme Exorcism is a thrill of a game that gets the heart pumping and pushes the player to try and conquer the level just one more time. Whether it be the friendly rivalry of couch co-op or simply the enjoyment of blasting away ghosts solo in Arcade Mode, there is enough here to keep players entertained. The retro-inspired pixel graphics and frenetic pace will ultimately not appeal to everybody but there's enjoyment to be found, even for even novice players.
Extreme Exorcism is an excellent example of why Nintendo's recent moves to embrace the indie scene are so great. Its quick, fun gunplay partnered with a fitting, if not groundbreaking soundtrack make for a game that's perfect to sit down and enjoy with three friends. It's a must-have title for Wii U indie supporters and fans of split-screen multiplayer.
Extreme Exorcism is a fun game bolstered by an extraordinarily unique concept. The game’s campaign wears a little thin by the end, but the ride from start to finish is delightful. If you have friends to play with, the multiplayer is well worth the price of admission, as the weapon variety and unbridled insanity make it a hell of a time.
I’m so glad that my husband called Mae and her team, not only because she eventually expelled our house of the voracious chairs that took several bites out of my backside (oddly, the sores make wearing heels a pain), but because she had the look of a woman in her element. She may have lost a bit of her zest halfway through the job due to the eventual predictableness of her method, but said method is unique enough to deserve a customer recommendation. So if you’re in need of a wicked spiritual expulsion, consider opting for an Extreme Exorcism. Just make sure you bring the blue hair dye.
All in all, however, Extreme Exorcism is a joy to play, and those after a frenetic indie fix with plenty of action should get themselves hooked up with Extreme Exorcism pronto. Players after more longevity and replayability may not find enough to keep them occupied, but the title packs a punch into its short bursts of action, and is ideal for those after a hectic multiplayer experience.
If anything, Extreme Exorcism is a game for those who have tried TowerFall and Samurai Gunn at their parties and want something even more hectic, and bustin’ makes them feel good; otherwise players new to the genre may feel a bit overwhelmed with the amount of on-screen action. As for me, I’ll stick to the classics for my get-togethers. Simplicity is what appeals to me when I’m trashed and I’d rather not projectile vomit from my eyes trying to keep up with all those ghosts.
Up to the plate, is another couch co-op game, a genre I seem to be reviewing a lot of as of late. Having not been overly impressed with the past titles, I was really hoping that Extreme Exorcism could give me a truly amazing couch co-op experience. Sadly, it did anything but.
