Eastern Exorcist

Set in a fantasy world inspired by eastern folklore, the game follows two exorcists across separate story campaigns. Each protagonist has their own abilities and encounters with spirits, demons, and other characters.

Combat is built around side-scrolling sword fights. Players attack, dodge, block or parry, manage stamina, and use skills and magic against regular enemies and bosses.

As each campaign progresses, players can develop character skills and improve their equipment. Chapters lead through largely linear stages, while boss trials and New Game+ offer additional ways to revisit combat.

Players who enjoy the game often highlight its hand-drawn ink-inspired art, eastern folklore atmosphere, and cutscenes, along with the appeal of two distinct character campaigns. Some find the combat satisfying once its timing and mechanics click, while others criticize its feel or balance. Repeated complaints include lengthy tutorials, limited exploration, and translation or text issues.
