Elemental Exiles
Critic Reviews for Elemental Exiles
Solid deck building fundamentals are let down by a lack of progression and weak not-quite-RPG questing. If you like the idea of a deck builder with a relatively open overworld and a cheery fantasy vibe, you might still enjoy this one, but it's hard to recommend above its more sophisticated indie peers.
Elemental Exiles is a fun deck-building game with characters that are unique and have their own abilities. Being able to explore locations in any order you want was a cool touch.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about Elemental Exiles. There are a lot of cool things that the developers added to the Rogue-like deckbuilder that were fun and interesting, but there were just too many downsides. I love the way this game looks, and I like a lot about it, but there were just so many issues that made it less than fun to play. I’m pretty torn about Elemental Exiles because I love so many parts of it. However, the durability system and the card RNG are hard to overlook. I’m just not sure what to think about it.
The gameplay elements added are definitely the highlight, but with nothing special in the presentation it just makes for a title lacking that spark to keep players returning.
If Elemental Exiles was tuned to be just a little more forgiving, it would be a really good game. As it stands, it can end with frustration.
