Engaging and addictive gameplay with a unique puzzle-fighter mechanic that is simple to learn but difficult to master.
Beautiful and charming art style with hand-painted backgrounds and charismatic character designs that enhance the game's atmosphere.
Varied game modes including story, local multiplayer up to 4 players, and survival mode, providing diverse and entertaining experiences.

Story mode experiences a difficulty spike towards the end and some achievements may be challenging to obtain.
Lack of online multiplayer limits competitive play; local multiplayer requires all players to have practice for balanced matches.
Some minigames are bland and the AI can be too easy or mechanically flawed, reducing solo play longevity.

The story mode offers a lighthearted, humorous narrative centered on a group of aspiring exorcists, complemented by a variety of engaging puzzles and minigames. While not overly complex, it provides a satisfying challenge with some difficulty spikes and encourages learning character-specific powers. Overall, it is entertaining and enjoyable both solo and in local co-op, with well-written dialogue and charming characters enhancing the experience.
- “The story mode has a bit of variety in the sense that you are asked to play different permutations of the main game, such as playing ghosts to make specific patterns, or solving puzzles to clear the board, in addition to completely separate minigames.”
- “A well written story mode that made me laugh way more than I would expect, and local co-op modes in which you can crush your friends (or get crushed by them) are currently giving me a really good time!”
- “Underrated puzzle game with impressive visuals, addicting gameplay, and a story bound to entertain.”
- “So far, I've started playing through the story mode, which actually gets fairly difficult early on—for me, anyway.”
- “I don't play puzzle games for the story, but I wasn't just trying to fast forward through it (even though you can).”
- “However, I suspect this won't be as fun unless your friend has their own copy to practice, as it pays to know the character-specific powers, so games would be too one-sided if only one person has practice with the story mode.”

- “The gameplay was incredibly addictive to me.”
- “Phenomenal arcade action with deep and very clever mechanics!”
- “The developers draw parallels to fighting games and I can see how the characters' unique skills would lend themselves to that kind of gameplay, but odds are your only challenge will be the CPU.”
- “The gameplay (competitively) gets diminished somewhat with the highest difficulties being artificially impossible to play by any means other than place-spam.”
- “I played the game with an Xbox controller and the gameplay was responsive.”
