Nov 08, 2013 13 years ago
Jump into the frenzied action and the whacky humor of a pure 2.5D side-scroller! While they were going to their old high school for what was supposed to be the party of their life, four long-time friends end up in a ghost town full of monstrous creatures. Alone or in cooperative mode (4 players online and 2 in local play), survive hordes of monsters ready to skin you alive and achieve unique and varied objectives throughout huge and non-linear levels. Choose your character, knock out high-scores and thoroughly explore each stage to gain experience and reach higher levels. Find new weapons, improve your skills, unlock new special moves and devastating powers… and achieve increasingly impressive combos to outdo your friends' high-scores.
What it’s like
The Final Exam delivers a frenetic, arcade-style brawler experience that prioritizes chaotic action over narrative depth. Players control one of four distinct students navigating non-linear, horror-themed levels filled with monstrous enemies. The core loop revolves around mastering combo-based combat, chaining attacks to build score multipliers, and unlocking devastating special moves. While the premise touches on dark themes, the tone leans heavily into whacky humor and over-the-top violence rather than serious drama. Progression is driven by high-score chasing and skill upgrades, offering substantial replayability for those who enjoy mechanical mastery. The game shines in its cooperative design, supporting up to four players in both online and local play, making it a social party title defined by loud, fast-paced mayhem and competitive leaderboards.

Keep in mind The repetitive nature of side objectives can cause pacing issues, as basic chores interrupt the flow of combat. Additionally, the game suffers from technical instability and mixed reception regarding its execution, which may detract from the polished experience some players expect.
