EXODUS Brings Classic RPG Action to a New Sci Fi Frontier

Fans of space adventures have a new reason to get excited. Archetype Entertainment recently offered a first look at EXODUS, an action RPG built by a team that includes veterans from the Mass Effect series. At first glance, the combat and dialogue choices will feel very comfortable for anyone who enjoys classic sci fi games, using a smooth cover system and quick ability wheels that keep the action moving at a brisk pace.

While the gameplay feels familiar, the story sets itself apart through a focus on hard science. You play as Jun Aslan, a Traveler tasked with saving humanity in a future where interstellar travel is limited by the laws of physics. The game uses time dilation as a core mechanic, meaning that time passes much faster for your loved ones at home than it does for you while you are out among the stars. One short mission for you could mean decades have passed for the people you are trying to protect.

This unique approach to storytelling turns every choice into a heavy, long term decision. You are not just choosing a path for yourself, but shaping the future of a world that will be drastically different by the time you return. With a deep universe featuring complex alien cultures like the Awakened, EXODUS is shaping up to be a serious contender for fans of narrative driven science fiction.
