Final Exerion Reviews

Be warned it is very different, but it has style and does its weird thing pretty well. I say take a chance on it regardless of being a traditional SHUMP fanatic (like myself) or not.

Normally, I would give this game a 7.5/10 or maybe an 8/10. It's well made and brings back memories. However, I cannot simply ignore the fact that there is a serious flaw concerning the leaderboards, which just refuse to function and download any scores, on my end. I tested this on 2 PCs, running Win10 and Win11. I even re-installed Windows on one of those, just to make sure. I'm seeing reports that the leaderboards may function on other PCs, in other regions (mine is EU:GR), but not without problems (scores not uploading sometimes, flickering, not being able to navigate LBs with gamepad etc). Moreover, there is zero developer / publisher support or even presence in the forums, where this was also reported. Another (less serious) issue, is the lack of keyboard support, so be prepared and get yourself a gamepad before trying this game. This is it then, I'm posting a negative review, but also hoping that all this might change sometime soon, consequently making me change this into a positive one.

I really like this game as i loved the original arcade version years back. The game is super addictive and fun and the graphics and music are right up my street. The game isn't janky in the traditional sense but is intentionally so and thus it's own deliberate, and here well thought out, system Compensating for the inertia by defensive and /or attacking strats is very rewarding. A solid recommend Edit: The more time I spend with this game the more I realise how awesome and well thought out it is.It's even made by a former Cave employee.What more can you want?!
