    Fresh out of Steam Early Access, Eastern Exorcist delivers fantastic visuals, exhilarating combat, and a fascinating story. However, bland level design dulls the experience a bit.

    Eastern Exorcist is an enjoyable 2D hack 'n' slasher that feels slick and fluid, but doesn't do quite enough to stand out from the crowd.

    After playing the full/updated game I can honestly say it's not worth the hassle if you are not into the roguelike - sekiro kind of games .After playing the full/updated game I can honestly say it's not worth the hassle if you are not into the roguelike - sekiro kind of games . The difficulty keeps going upwards as you progress and you have to only focus on one skill tree if you want to barely succeed.

    However I'm about one hour in and I still feel like I'm in the tutorial section... Text boxes on screen, explaining how to suck eggs... Why do game devs feel the need to explain the basics of gaming while leaving the things that should be in the tutorials out???

    OVERALL. It's a good game, a really good one but PLEASE can I skip all the silly egg sucking lessons that games now have, they have ruined many a good game.    … Full Review »
