Conan Exiles – Survival MMO has improved significantly
Conan Exiles is a hardcore survival MMO from Funcom set in the world of Conan the Barbarian. As you might gather from the associated films, stories, games, and books, the wild barbarian world is not exactly for the faint-hearted. You’ll feel that right from the beginning of the game. Your avatar is literally nailed to a cross and left in the desert.
Then Conan himself comes and rescues you. However, that’s all the barbarian does. From that point on, you must fend for yourself and survive. You can do that alone or with other players you team up with. To survive, you’ll need to hunt animals, build shelters, and craft clothing to fend off the elements.
What is special about Conan Exiles?
Conan Exiles showcases a wild, brutal world and spares no blood nor naked bodies. In the barbarian world, it’s rough and you can’t just slay wandering NPCs, but can also enslave them. Then they will perform various menial tasks or guard your belongings when you’re out on an expedition.
Additionally, here are some features that the barbarian survival game offers. You can:
- Hunt animals and craft equipment from their remains
- Build structures to protect yourself from enemies and the elements
- Offer sacrifices to your god and eventually summon the gigantic avatar of the deity, which will trample your enemies
- Explore other areas outside of the starting desert. There is a winter area, a volcano full of lizard people, and a swamp
- Explore dungeons and defeat bosses
- Form clans with other players
- Uncover ancient mysteries
- Storm enemy fortresses using siege machines
- Prepare for raids by NPC barbarian hordes, who may attack you when you become too powerful.
Who is Conan Exiles ideal for?
Conan Exiles is the right game for you if you are fans of Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories or other works from the barbarian franchise. The developers at Funcom have a genuine passion for the barbarian world and successfully convey its ferocity and ruthlessness.
Moreover, there’s a hefty portion of violence and nudity. That has always been a tradition with Conan. The game is built on a solid foundation of a survival sandbox MMO, in which you can move freely and plan your survival strategy in your unique way. So, if you’re looking for a merciless fight for your literally naked life, Conan Exiles is the right choice for you.
Compared to the hype phase of Conan Exiles during its early access in early 2017, the game has improved in recent months and is worth a look.
