Initial pre-release feedback of the game was mixed due to the fact that Mighty Rocket Studio originally intended the game as a reboot of the survival horror game Obscure. The negative feedback caused the developer to change the name of the game to Final Exam.[9]

Upon full release, the game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[6][7][8] Matt Beaudette of Hardcore Gamer said of the game, "There are better options available for those simply looking for a cheap sidescroller to play once and forget about. Those who can get invested in learning and mastering a deep combat system, however, will find a lot to like in Final Exam"[10] Smooth Town wrote, "This is a fine starting point for whatever future holds for the Obscure franchise"; however, they noted the problems with repetitiveness and cheap boss fights.[11]
