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.”
Extreme Exorcism Review
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.
