  • It has simple yet beautiful graphics, smooth controls, and a nostalgic retro feel that appeals to fans of indie games.
  • Local multiplayer mode enhances the experience, making it a great party game that can be enjoyed with friends.
  • The gameplay can become repetitive quickly, as the core mechanics do not evolve significantly over time.

    The gameplay features unique mechanics, such as the ability to hold and use three weapons simultaneously and the innovative ghost spawning system, which adds an interesting twist to the arena combat. However, the game suffers from a snowballing effect where only the winning player benefits from the ghost mechanic, leading to unbalanced multiplayer experiences and repetitive gameplay that can become stale quickly. Despite these flaws, many players find the overall experience entertaining and worth trying, especially in local multiplayer settings.

    • “Ultimately, the ghost mechanic makes this game interesting, fun, and unique enough to be worth a buy.”
    • “Interesting mechanics: you can hold and use 3 weapons at the same time!”
    • “Extreme Exorcism invigorates the arena battler with its brilliant ghost mimicking mechanics, proving to be a highly entertaining proposition for either a group of friends or the lone player.”
    • “The game's biggest flaw is that only the winner of a round has their ghost form spawn that round. This mechanic gives further advantage to a winning player and, in my mind, is an unfortunate snowballing mechanic.”
    • “Gameplay gets old very quickly.”

    • “Great music: appropriately Halloween-themed, nothing too catchy, but pretty kickass.”
