Critic Reviews
- The Executive would be all right to play for a day if it were free, but I cannot recommend paying for a game that is just barely competent. You should spend your time and money elsewhere.
Kevin Tejada · Dec 22, 2015 Reviewed on AndRead full review - When it’s all said and done, it almost feels more like a beat ’em up than a simple platformer, and the amalgam works very, very well.
Tre Lawrence · Dec 08, 2015 Reviewed on And - Any grievances are minor, however. The Executive is a mobile game done right. It uses the limitations and opportunities of touchscreen controls almost perfectly, it’s easy to get into but increasingly challenging, and its genius in-game economy keeps one coming back for more. It also sports a fantastic catchy soundtrack, a beautiful art style, and some incredible monster designs.
Jim Sterling · Jul 10, 2015 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - It has simple mechanics, quick bursts of gameplay, and each enemy warrants a different strategy to handle. It’s just going to ultimately come down to whether you like 2D brawlers or not — and if you do, The Executive is a very easy recommendation.
Tom Christiansen · Jul 10, 2015 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Honestly though, I’ve been having a really good time with The Executive. I can easily see myself playing it for quite some time to come. If you think the concept is novel enough to justify a look, or if you like having fun, I’d highly recommend it.
Rob Rich · Jul 09, 2015 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - The Executive is one of the best mobile games of 2015, and is something that you need to play. It's so amusing and so much fun, that you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing it.
Carter Dotson · Jul 07, 2015 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - A loud and brash touchscreen brawler with a surprising amount of depth and plenty to do ...And more importantly, on-top of all that, it's an awful lot of silly arcade fun. Which, quite often, is all you want from a game.
Harry Slater · Jul 02, 2015 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - The Executive uses Riverman Media’s proprietary animation system to bring to life its large, hand-drawn 2D sprites with an unprecedented amount of smoothness and detail. The Executive represents the pinnacle of Riverman Media’s research and development into new 2D graphics technology.
Harry Slater · Jul 02, 2015 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - The Executive è un gioco fuori di testa al punto da ridefinire lo stesso significato del termine. Dietro ad un setting tanto assurdo si cela però un prodotto di qualità, originale, ricco di contenuti, che diverte e coinvolge durante tutta la sua durata giustificando appieno il prezzo premium a cui viene proposto. Se state cercando un titolo mobile diverso dal solito con cui intrattenervi in questa torrida estate, l'avete senza dubbio trovato.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
You are the CEO of a company that has been infiltrated by werewolves, and it’s your job to save your employees, and eventually the entire city, from their dastardly schemes.
The Executive combines a fast-paced combat system, timing based running and platforming, 120 hand-crafted levels, a full inventory of moves and upgrades, and a simple mining company simulation for earning money, all into one cohesive experience. The fighting engine evokes a cross between Street Fighter II and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Players strike and block at various heights while watching enemies for signs of attacks. The platforming (or “stunt”) segments require precise timing, similar to Elite Beat Agents but with an emphasis on visual timing instead of musical rhythm. Both these mechanics are brought together by the SP bar, which allows players to execute gesture-based special moves like flame kicks, health restoration, and even morphing the character’s arm into a silver spike to impale foes.
