The US version is very beatable. I did it many years ago. I should probably revisit it at some point I suppose and refresh my memory on the game. The original exile on the turbo I thought was really easy. Like cadash.... Just grind the start a bit and the rest of the game is a breeze.

American Exile is great but they got rid of the Warp spell for god knows why.

American Exile 2 is a shitshow. Unfortunately, the game itself is more linear than the first one but the graphics are nicer.

Exile 2/XZR III: Exile II is one of those games where you can really see where Telenet was starting to fall apart. Games from that period (like Exile 2 and Annette Futabi) are barely-finished and riddled with bugs and bad controls. It's like they were trying to push as many products out the door as possible to make money before shuttering - though they would limp along (publishing/developing almost nothing after 93/94?) until like 2007.

The final Exile game had so much potential... shame it turned out so badly. Still, at least it's not Energy. :lol:

Played a bit more.
Gotta say, the game isn't super amazing, but other than the difficulty spikes, I'm having some real fun

Sounds about right. It's pretty fun but wouldn't be one of my favourites.

Exile is my poster child for a real (for lack of better word) "cult" hit, or unnderrated gem. It's rough around the edges with its balancing issues, but the game has enough interesting ideas, and the presentation is strong enough to make it a memorable game.
