Elemental Exiles is an RPG deckbuilding roguelike where you play as one of 12 heroes, each with their own personal quest, starting location, and initial cards. Overcome challenging battles and adapt to unexpected narrative encounters as you grow your deck and explore the world.
Unique Characters and Personal Quests
Play as one of 12 unique characters scattered across the map, each with a diverse deck of abilities at their disposal. Guide them carefully across the world to advance their personal quests and help them achieve glory—or at least closure. Four characters are unlocked from the start, but there are eight more hidden in the world for you to find, each with their own unique story to play through. Start your journey with one of these characters:
A naïve Elven warrior still determined to protect the village that exiled them...
An old Dwarven researcher searching for a very specific piece of hidden knowledge...
A bitter bounty hunter determined to track down her treacherous former partners...
An abandoned young water mage searching for the master who betrayed her...
Expansive World Exploration
With each step your character takes, uncover more of the world around you. Watch the vibrant landscape reveal itself as you journey forth, filling in an expansive map that persists across playthroughs. This allows you to revisit your favorite places, address unfinished business with new tactics, or forge a new path entirely.
Strategic Deckbuilding and Elemental Synergies
When you choose to play a particular card can be just as important as which card you play. Cards in Elemental Exiles have additional effects that only trigger when certain conditions are met—such as being the first card played on your turn, or being played immediately after another card of a specific element. Whether or not you manage to trigger these extra conditional effects can be the difference between victory and defeat, so be sure to keep possible synergies in mind when choosing new cards for your deck.
Most cards are attuned to one of three elements—Fire, Water, or Nature. Each of these has a corresponding strength and weakness. For example, Fire actions are strong against Nature and weak against Water. Naturally, certain enemies and bosses also favor a particular element. So while your Fire deck might crush a group of tree spirits while traveling through a forest, it’s going to struggle against a horde of angry water elementals you encounter while walking along the coast. Will you try to specialize in one element to increase synergy? Or will you favor a more balanced approach to reduce your potential weaknesses?
