Eastern Exorcist is a beautiful action game. It is sure to please those who like the genre and want a difficult experience, in which dodging and defensive movements are fundamental. Styled with an inspiration from Chinese mythology, it is well worth checking out.

Eastern Exorcist is a game that continues to surprise you. When I thought it was easy, it humbled me. When I felt the story was growing stale, I was thrown for a loop. I was constantly changing my perception of the game. But, be warned before you buy: this game is hard. And, in that regard, it makes no apologies. You will constantly be challenged. The reward is that you get to progress through a game that is fun, imaginative, and couched in a setting that has not already been done to death.

Don’t need a proton pack to bust ghosts or religious text to banish demons, just put them to the sword instead.

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

As it stands right now, Eastern Exorcist is an excellent work in progress. It certainly isn't without its share of issues but most of them can be fixed in subsequent updates. I recommend at least giving it a look if you enjoy a good challenge.
