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 posit...

About This Game
★The renaissance of a classic sci-fi shooting game!
Year 3000 of the Integration era. The invasion from outer space of genetically mutant monsters called "Gene Beast" put Earth in unprecedented danger. As a countermeasure, the Earth Protection Army completed the Ex Fighter, an ultra-state-of-art fighter with forbidden technology excavated from ancient ruins. Our mission now is to claim Earth back from the Gene Beasts!
★Dominate the battlefield with the EX CELL ON system.
Master powerful shots with the 7 CELLs
1.Max out the CELL gauge!
During a battle, the CELL gauge rises little by little. When the gauge is maxed out, call on a new CELL.
2.The carrier comes out of the base
The item carrier comes to you with a countdown. Wait for it to reach you.
3.Carrier's arrival&Support attack activated!
As soon as the carrier arrives, it covers you with fire attacks. You're invincible so go catch the item you requested!
4.Replace your CELL with the new one and fight!

★What is "Exerion"?
Exerion is an arcade game developed by Jaleco and released in 1983. It was one of JALECO's most popular titles, with its three-dimensional scrolling ground that pops out from the background, and its gameplay in which the player shoots at enemies while controlling the inertia of the fighter.
This title is the first in the "Final" series. With a new original story, new gameplay and remade graphics, this title is co-produced by City Connection and Happy Meal. It also features a manga made by mangaka U-Watari. The battle between space invaders from outer space and Earth's special forces is about to begin!

User Reviews
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?!
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.
