EXOrcist GUNNER

Reviewed: v1.0.1 tl;dr - If you're going to play this AT ALL, play on the easy difficulty. Even then, I still don't recommend playing at all. I don't say that as "oh this game is too hard", I say that as "this game is genuinely terribly designed". To start off with, I don't know what the other reviews are talking about when they mention bugs, as I didn't experience any of the mentioned ones on my playthrough. And I died MORE than a few times. So either those specific ones were patched, or I just got super lucky. Thing is, though, none of those deaths EVER felt like they were my fault. I never thought "oh, I shouldn't have done that" or "oh, I made a mistake there". It always, without fail, felt like the game said "fuck you, die now". From just not being able to reload because of insane endlag, to phasing through platforms for seemingly no reason, to having so many projectiles on screen I could barely see my own character... Well, either this game was genuinely designed as frustratingly as possible, or the dev just never played it once. The keybinds are INCREDIBLY stupid, the enemies are super tanky for no reason, and some attacks either cover half the screen or move at mach five for no reason. The scythe girls are the worst offenders of this, slime girls close second. Four fucking point blank shots from a COMBAT SHOTGUN is ridiculous. Like what the hell. As for animation quality... fuck if I know. I skipped all the loss scenes I got because of prior mentioned "no death ever felt like it was my fault", and the gallery isn't unlocked on game completion. I am not going back to LOSE to EVERY OTHER ENEMY just to fill it out. Maybe it's quality, maybe it isn't, I don't know. It's... The game isn't very good. I honestly don't recommend it. It felt frustrating at the best of times, and completely killed my boner. It's not like I absolutely shy away from challenge either, but I like it when it's a fair challenge. This particular challenge really isn't. Two stars if only because it is functional and works properly most of the time. Some games don't even manage that.

Once one dies, the weapon becomes bugged, firing bullets in random directions but they're only rarely able to hit enemies . One could be really near the enemies to solve this bug, but it's not doable for each boss and level, especially the last ones. One just can't finish this game if he dies even just once.

Game is literally unplayable if you die once. Nice aspects: Great scenes and big booby monster girls! Great designs. The evil aspects that make the game unplayable: You are forced with 1 life therefore if you die once and your bullets wont shoot straight anymore and will spread everywhere. Loading back a save wont fix your bullets from spreading everywhere. This applies for both modes aka casual and standard. If you want to fix the spreading bullets bug then you have to create a new save. If you die in standard mode your guns will not properly work and will last after a few shots and this also breaks your ammo limit Overall this game was not properly tested. 2/10

It's average. The movement is certainly not as bad as below guy says. I have played games with terrible jumps. This is not one of them. And the character movement is responsive and snappy. Nothing to whine about here. I didn't have the gun bugs they talk about below, but had my own share of bugs e.g. when pressing the attack button while h-anim plays it flips the scene 180 degrees and forever zooms it in. I mean I like pixel art porn but it should be more than 4 giant pixels on the screen XD Also in level 3 the movement bugged out. The dev does make some things very sensible for this type of game. E.g. while sex is only on defeate (which I HATE WITH A PASSION. FUCK OFF! THE PART OF H-GAMES IS TO SEE THE H-CONTENT! HAVING TO LOSE TO SEE THE POINT YOUR GAME EVEN EXISTS IS THE DUMBEST THING EVER AND SHOULD BE PUNISHED WITH THE DEATH PENALTY!) atleast he respawns you right at the end of previous room. So it's bareable. The main issue I stopped at the bug in level 3 was that they reuse a lot of animations from the previous games which I already played. Making it very repetitive and unexciting after that. If you haven't played the previous games and like 2d action h-games this can be a quick gap-filler. But it certainly won't hit you out of your socks.

Buggy to the point of being aggressively unpleasant to play. Took a death on the first level and respawned with what I think is the level 2 pistol but it and the shotgun I had picked fired bullets at random angles instead of, you know, forward. Struggled through the rest of the first level then ran into a bug on the second where the shotgun would lock into the prefire animation and noise without shooting anything. Only way to break out of that was to take a hit. Also the jump feels mediocre, the movement is mid, the enemies are bland, the gunplay is stiff and boring, and the defeat scenes are stiff, lifeless, and devoid of any enjoyment. EDIT: Post above makes a good point that the movement isn't fatally terrible. I've also played a lot worse. This game is serviceable but the issue is that it is *only* serviceable. There's a big gap between feeling fine to play and feeling good, and this game sits right on the line between fine and not good. If the 18+ content was solid this would be easier to bear but when the smut is also just mid, what are we doing here? Just play something else.
