The story of this RPG is richly detailed, engaging, and reminiscent of classic titles, with a vast open world, numerous side quests, and meaningful choices that impact the narrative. While it offers a challenging and immersive experience with well-written dialogue and lore, some players find quest directions vague due to the absence of markers, necessitating external guides for clarity. Overall, the compelling plot, deep world-building, and diverse quests provide excellent replay value and satisfy fans of old-school, exploration-driven RPGs.
- “The story is rich with a main plot line to follow as well as an abundance of side quests.”
- “There are jokes, moral and philosophical dilemmas, an engaging story, and classic isometric combat.”
- “The storyline is incredibly well written and tied together.”
- “Only two downsides for me: some of the quests can take a while to do as the quest logs for them are very vague.”
- “Controls are clumsy, movement speed prefers a certain direction otherwise it's slow, quests could have some quality of life changes to make them easier to figure out, otherwise get used to having the guide open constantly, which kind of defeats the point of the enjoyment of a game like this, which is figuring things out for yourself.”
- “There are plenty of unresolved storylines and character developments, and a lack of creative closure in general for a very good sketch of a story.”

The gameplay is widely praised for its old-school, classic RPG style that offers deep, engaging mechanics, a substantial variety of quests, and a challenging yet rewarding experience without pay-to-win elements. Players appreciate the non-linear progression, character customization, and immersive story-driven adventure with smooth, intuitive controls despite occasional clunkiness or minor mechanical roughness. Overall, it provides many hours of content with nostalgic appeal and solid RPG depth, making it a compelling choice for fans of traditional role-playing games on mobile.
- “There's a good variety of quests, and the non-linear gameplay allows you to take your time and learn.”
- “The game is about exploration of the world and the mechanics - how skills and equipment work, how companions work, and how to use them best.”
- “It's providing me with nostalgia from the days of desktop PC gaming, with gameplay reminiscent of the Baldur's Gate series.”
- “The game is okay, but I don't like how the regeneration is painfully slow, take a large amount of damage when hit, no block button, very hard gameplay (even on the easy setting), keep on grinding, items too expensive and can't see the character wearing a helmet; I hate seeing my character's open head when wearing a helmet. At least add that, then I'll rate a bit higher.”
- “The gameplay itself, however, can be a little clunky, especially while fighting, and I wish the leveling system was more complex.”
- “Gameplay is sort of jerky, making it difficult to maneuver the avatar precisely.”

The graphics are generally described as old-school, retro, or reminiscent of classic PC RPGs, with a simple, pixelated, or isometric style that many find charming and fitting for the game's nostalgic atmosphere. While not cutting-edge or highly polished, the visuals are adequate for mobile play and complement the deep storyline and gameplay, though some users mention occasional minor glitches and desire smoother animations or more visual variety. Overall, the graphics are seen as a strength in evoking classic RPG feel, even if they may not appeal to those seeking modern, high-end visuals.
- “Don't let the older graphics fool you, this is a fantastic game!”
- “The graphics really give it an accurate oldschool vibe and the game runs very smoothly.”
- “The graphics and UI are clean, the map is huge, and the gameplay is smooth and engaging.”
- “The graphics could use a big update and are very basic.”
- “Now considering the poor quality graphics, you'd think the devs made sure the game at least worked properly, no.”
- “The character progression is rewarding, and there are some graphical errors with layering, and a sprite was enlarged becoming blurry.”

The game features a straightforward monetization model with a single one-time purchase unlocking the full version, free of ads, microtransactions, or pay-to-win elements, which users widely appreciate as a refreshing break from typical mobile game monetization tactics. Players enjoy ample free content before purchase, no intrusive timers or purchases, and praise the fair pricing for extensive gameplay, although a few view the premium model as potentially limiting access for some. Overall, the monetization approach is lauded for its transparency, fairness, and focus on game quality rather than revenue extraction.
- “None of the usual monetization trappings of mobile games, and genuine build choices to make.”
- “I think it's worth the few bucks, especially since there are zero microtransactions, absolutely no ads, and nothing else to buy.”
- “The only in-app purchase is $5 for the complete game; a deal for 60-80 hours of content.”
- “It seems the developer just wants a quick cash grab and uses the excuse that this is supposed to be a "classic RPG."”
- “I think it's just a cash grab to sell the same product twice and say it's different. Solo developer or not, it's shady AF; you promised this would be the full version.”
- “The game is pretty good, the only downside is the graphics. There are hundreds if not thousands of games like this for free. The developer got greedy and chose to benefit his pocket rather than develop a game that would benefit the poor or people who have no money. Yeah, advertisements are a pain, but people would watch them to play longer. I certainly would. You'd make more money if you just had an option to remove ads and let people play your creation.”
grinding

Reviews consistently highlight that grinding is a significant and sometimes excessive part of the gameplay, often described as tedious, repetitive, and time-consuming due to slow leveling and scarce rewards. While some players appreciate the old-school RPG challenge and find the grinding engaging or manageable, many find it frustrating, especially when compounded by lengthy travel and scarce equipment upgrades. Overall, grinding is integral but may deter those who dislike slow progression or frequent repetition.
- “It's very grindy though, almost too much.”
- “The game requires tons of grinding to gain just a few levels.”
- “It takes an eternity to level, gear upgrades are very rare and though the game boasts '100' hours of play, at least 80 percent of that is legging it from one place to another and grinding until you want to throw your phone into a lake.”

- “A true RPG, there are multiple classes, weapon/armor categories, skills, and attributes to choose from, hilarious dialogue choices, and just great entertainment value.”
- “The conversation tree is well written, funny, plenty of options, and some choices are permanent and change the rest of the game.”
- “The gameplay is everything expected of an RPG, the grinding and the quests as well as companion systems and the tips and item bios are hilarious.”

- “Immersive, yet simple graphics, engaging story, good writing, well-designed items, superb music.”
- “Solid base gameplay and world building with catchy music that fits the dark theme brilliantly.”

- “This game has a huge amount of replayability and ways to complete the game in your own style, truly a brilliantly put together game which is more than worthy of a spot in your games library.”

The game generally runs well with smooth performance and minimal serious bugs, offering good device support and stable gameplay. However, users report occasional minor glitches such as quest issues, buggy ranged combat, controller-related graphical problems, and rare freezing, which sometimes require restarts to resolve.

- “I've seen no glitches.”
- “The transition between maps is very smooth; the game runs great on my phone.”
- “My new Pixel 3 XL randomly freezes up when playing Exiled Kingdoms.”
- “Glitches found: no zoom in and out, so 4 stars for graphics; a quest item can be sold without warning and cannot be recovered; cannot go from the world map to area map; continuing a game loads the latest save in the game time, not my time.”
- “I would give it 5 stars but when I try to use my PS4 controller the game glitches and all the text turns black and unreadable including the health bar.”

Character development in the game is praised for being challenging, rewarding, and customizable, extending not only to the main character but also companions, with a classical RPG focus on role-playing, tactics, and progression over grind. However, some users note unresolved storylines and companion development lacking depth, wishing for more creative closure and additional class options. Overall, the system is balanced and well-integrated into a vast open world, making it one of the best offline RPG experiences available.
- “Vast world map, challenging and rewarding character development and progression.”
- “Character development not only for your character but also for each of your companions!”
- “From the vast, diverse world open for exploration from the get go, to interesting character development options, rewarding quests, and the developer's dry humor in dialogues, it's simply the best mobile RPG out there.”
- “There are plenty of unresolved storylines and character developments, and a lack of creative closure in general for a very good sketch of a story.”
- “Hi, I have been a game tester for about 2 years now. A few months before the mage class came out, I finally completed all quests and reached level 100 on the mage, which took me 2 years of constant playing and farming. I can say that your companions need some kind of character development; they grow bland. For example, the undermother doesn't even reappear after the main quest. It would be better if she had a dig spot under her.”
- “People nowadays are getting used to pay2win, easy rewards, and quick character development from the beginning.”
