How it feels

A sprawling, old-school tactical RPG where you explore a vast, evolving world and engage in turn-based combat to reclaim a homeland.

What players say

Players praise the world-building and story, but many find the combat repetitive and the main quest tedious. The added time-triggered events are a standout feature, though some veteran players find this remake a cynical rewrite compared to the original Exile series.
