Unfortunately I'm unable to play The Exorcist due to the following issue:

. I've reinstalled the game a few times and tried it on one of my laptops, but get the same issue.

I decided to drag out one of my older twin core computers and installed the game onto it (with a Win 8.1 OS) and it worked fine. It's almost evening time and as only a few community members have shown any interest in the game, I'm not going to bother writing up a review of the game. From the limited game play I've already had, it feels like a standard RPG Maker game, with graphics that are okay (It uses the RPG Maker MV engine, which is the latest iteration of the engine. If you own a copy of MV you should be able to play around with this game and add your own content. :) game play is okay (at least as far as I progressed in less than an hours worth of game play. If you are into this type of top down role playing game its worth checking out.

I've added a few extra screen captures to the end of this mini review. :)

The Exorcist

In Brief

The Exorcist is a casual RPG adventure that is still in early access on Steam HERE; however, today's version isn't a Steam key , but a free standing version of the game.

Installation:

The Exorcist downloads to a 383 MB zip file that unzips to two files, (a setup excecutable and a read me). The game installs to the following path by default, but can be changed if you wish. The installed game is approximately 447/506 MB in size.

C:\Program Files (x86)\The Exorcist

Five shortcuts are installed to the desktop, four of which can be safely deleted . If you want the games shortcut to be installed to the desktop, make sure the appropriate checkbox is checked. Even if this is left unchecked you will still get the four internet shortcuts installed to the desktop; (i.e. Falco Space - Online Game!, FalconLine Online Games Website, FalcoGo WebGL Games! and Free Games Downloads!). Also, if you don't like icons installed to the quick launch task bar, make sure the appropriate checkbox is unchecked when the 'additional task's window appears (after the Select Start Menu Folder window).

Introduction:

The Exorcist is a game made with RPGMaker. You are a young exorcist called Alonso starting out on one of your first dangerous assignments. You are to excorsize a demon called Sargatans (a Seraph fallen from Heaven in Lucifer's rebellion). The demon is a bloodthirsty and intimidating demon; who, knowing of your quest has challenged you for your soul. Your investigations have left you terrified of this demon because of the terrible deeds you have uncovered in your research.

Your research leads you to modern day Italy, where before you finally encounter Sargatis, you have to vanquish other hellspawn.

The Game:

I'm unable to post my own views on the game due to the game not working on my system. however because the game was made with RPG Maker (not sure which version, but from the images provided it's most likely to be RPG Maker VX). The game play will follow the usual mechanics of that engine; so, basically you wander around a world picking up various weapons, health packs and armor. On your travells you can enter most buildings and will inevitably encounter various non-playing characters (NPC's), that you can interact with via a dialogue box. These often give you additional quests to complete, so it is worth talking to all NPC's if you want to get the full blown experience out of a game made with RPG Maker. You will also inevitably encounter various enemy combatants and engage in battles against these foes. Initially the enemeies will be low power enemie, but as your character improves strength and health wise, so dtoo do the enemies you encounter. to face the final boss in these games, you will have had to buff your character with the best armour and weapons you can find as well as build up a stock of health related potions. The fighting system uses the basic RPG fighting system where you take turns to attack each other.

Features:

⦁ Unusual setting
⦁ There are no analogues on the store
⦁ Not a linear plot
⦁ Decisions affect the whole world
⦁ An opportunity to be an exorcist
⦁ Plenty of Easter eggs
⦁ Based on real exorcism stories

The Elder Scrolls celebrates its 25th Anniversary this week since the first in the series ''Arena'' was released in 1994. If you create a free account at Bethesda.com this Sunday 31st March, you will get a free copy of the third Elder Scrolls game Morrowind HERE. Accessing other Bethesda pages and you'll get a pop up giving you a button link to redeem the code ''TES25TH-MORROWIND'' This can only be done on the 31st March.

Many fans of the franchise still say Morrowind, released in 2003-4 is the best of the lot despite its aging graphics; I agree. When I first played Morrowind 15 years ago I was literally gob-smacked by the gameplay and at the time the beautiful open world environment. Granted, it looks dated now, but its still brilliant. Later iterations of the game look amazing, though Bethesda/Zenimax have dumbed down the game slightly since Morrowind. Of all the games I've ever played, The Elder Scrolls in my number one favorite game. If I was only able to take one game franchise with me it would be The Elder Scrolls, with its brother game Fallout coming a close second.

You can get also get the first two games in the series free from Bethesda HERE(Arena) and HERE (Daggerfall ). If you buy the add-on The Elder Scrolls: Battlespire via GOG , they include Arena and Daggerfall for free. The GOG versions come with emulators that enable you to play the games without having to mess around with separate emulators.

Also, all the Elder Scrolls titles are on sale over on Steam during the 25 year celebrations. You can find then all Here until Monday evening.
