Exile

While this style of gaming has never been my cup of tea, it's not hard to recognize the scope of this game and appreciate it on that level. In addition, the supporting features served up courtesy on the CD are first class, though I've heard better music on CD games. Not a favorite, but still a good game for the Turbo.

Amazingly enough this hasn’t yet been submitted to Nintendo for their Virtual Console, which would be totally worth it just for the looks on their faces. I mean Altair and the Prince of Persia are just a couple of whiny bitches compared to a coke-snorting holy slayer who fends off heathen armies, demigods, and nubile nudes – and he did it before being surrounded by bloody carnage and religious mysticism was the thing to do. In the end Exile is a fair game bolstered by an outrageous plot; not something you’ll get addicted to, but not something you’re likely to forget, either.

Entpuppt sich ein Spielkonzept als erfolgreich, finden sich nach kurzer Verschnaufpause sofort einige Nachahmer. In diesem fall heißt das Original Y's, der Clone Exile. Wie im Action-Adventure-Vorbild, steuert Ihr in Exile einen Solohelden durch actionlastige Spielstufen, die von der Seite gezeigt werden.
