Final Exam muscles its way onto PS3 tomorrow

Hi everybody, this is Francois from Mighty Rocket Studio. Here we are – this is our big moment: Final Exam is released tomorrow! It will be available for €9.99/£7.99. The launch trailer is available here.

Do you like action games or beat ’em ups? If so, I encourage you to try the demo. In Final Exam, you can maim monsters with baseball bats, shotguns, flamethrowers and many more weapons. There is a solo mode, a co-op mode with two players on the same screen, and a multiplayer mode, with up to four players online.

Choose your favorite character: Brutal Joe (the quarterback), Cassy (the street dancer), Nathan (the geek, my favorite!) and Sean (the handsome bad boy). Learn to take advantage of each one’s unique characteristics, make them evolve and discover their most powerful attacks through the game’s eight missions. We can promise many hours of fun!

There is also a time attack mode that you will have to unlock. One particular guy on the team that really, really likes getting high scores inspired us. In this mode, you have seven minutes to get the highest possible score. So you’d better unlock all the available attacks in order to be able to vary things up to achieve really high combos.

Here are some tricks that might be useful when dealing with hordes of monsters: You can throw monsters in fire. They burn really well. You can indeed throw everything in the game. For example, you’re carrying a kid in the mission that takes place in the carnival, and a monster is attacking you? No problem, throw the kid at it! I love doing that, probably because I can’t do it at home!

You will also meet nice people in the game. Some NPCs help you escape from locations infested with monsters. The sad thing is that they often die when they are not useful anymore: smashed by a Tank monster or electrocuted. There are other silly things in the game that you will discover during your journey. You will also meet other NPCs who will seem familiar to fans of our Obscure games. There are indeed many details that will remind them of that series.

If you want to know more about the game, have a look at the game’s website and our devblog. You will even find a papercraft pattern to have your own Brutal Joe with you on your desk all day long!

Please do check the game out, and be sure to tell us what you think of it. Here at Mighty Rocket Studio we love to listen to people who play our games!
