Exile III: Ruined World

The Good
Exile III is a significant improvement over the previous installments. Not only are the graphics better, but there are more character icons to choose from. There are also more traits that you can choose from; my favorite being ambidextrous (dual-wield weapons!). The story and depth of this game is also extremely vast. Once immersed in the game, it's really hard to get out. In contrast to the previous 2 parts, Exile III has you wandering the surface world. That alone provides hours of gameplay. Throw in tons of cities, npcs, quests and subquests, and you have a game that could potentially last a month!

The Bad
Although I personally like the graphics, they could use some work. The images are all rather small (icon-sized or smaller), which makes seeing objects in the game screen extremely difficult. Also, the sounds are rather flat, and there really isn't much music. Playing the game a third or fourth time around can kind of get boring.

The Bottom Line
An old-school style RPG that more than makes up for its lack in graphics with its depth in plot.
