Fast-Paced Action RPG ‘Eastern Exorcist’ Now Out on Steam Via Early Access [Trailer]
Fancy becoming an exorcist that just so happens to kick ass along the way? Publisher Bilibili and developer Wildfire Game might have the game for you in their side-scrolling RPG Eastern Exorcist, which recently launched in Steam Early Access. The title is also scheduled to be released on the PlayStation 4 at a later date.
Set in a fictitious eastern world infested with vicious demons and monsters, players take on the role of an exorcist who exorcises the old-fashioned way: With his sword. Featuring a unique hand-drawn Chinese ink painting style, Eastern Exorcist requires you to master its fast-paced mix of swords and magic. To throw further fun into the mix, you’ll have to manage your stamina bar as you fight.
And, for those on the fence about purchasing the game, there’s a free demo available for you to try on Steam.
