Funcom\u2019s open-world survival game, set in the universe of the much-loved Conan the Barbarian, as defined by the books of Robert E Howard and once portrayed on celluloid by Arnold Schwarzenegger, is poised to exit its Early Access period (which has lasted more than a year) and seek fame and fortune in the real world. If ever a game promises to be epic, Conan Exiles is it.<u><\/u><u><\/u><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Story-wise, Conan Exiles\u2019 watchword is definitely epic \u2013 it kicks off with your character nailed to a cross, exiled to a harsh world which takes in deserts, icy regions and every form of environment in between. Luckily, Conan himself is at hand to cut you down and rescue you, but from then on, you\u2019re on your own, and it\u2019s up to you to find a way to first survive and then prosper in an unforgiving and harsh world.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Conan Exiles is also epic in its sheer scope. It takes place in a vast and varied environment, replete with dungeons. It involves combat, farming, castle and city-building, sieges, dungeoneering, establishing a religion (and taking on other religions), enslaving bandits to learn new skills, boss-battles and full-on wars. It lets you take on other players in PvP, or forge alliances with them to prosper in PvE gameplay. Or you can choose to play out your own story in splendid isolation on your very own server.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Conan Exiles - Your Journey Through Conan&#039;s World\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fevGjwspQCY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Emerging triumphantly from Early Access<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h2>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/conan-exiles-insert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">It\u2019s fair to say that there aren\u2019t many games which spend over a year in Early Access \u2013 but we\u2019ll all be thankful that with Conan Exiles, developer Funcom chose to take such an unconventional approach. That\u2019s because, during that period which stretched back to January 2017 on Steam and August 2017 on Xbox One, Conan Exiles has been altered and improved beyond all recognition. So let\u2019s examine what, precisely, you can expect from the game as it prepares to ship on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><\/u>Combat system<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h2>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><\/u>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/conan-exiles-combat-insert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Since Conan Exiles entered its Early Access period, Funcom has pretty much ripped out the combat system and started again from scratch (dedicating vast resources to the process). The result is deeply satisfying: each weapon (running from daggers up to hammers and greatswords) has its own attacks and animations, and those attacks include the likes of lunges, sweeps, cleaves, slashes and dashes. Plus there are light and heavy attacks that can be chained, to culminate in spectacular finishing moves. Combat-wise, Conan Exiles stands comparison with the highest-budget action-RPGs.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">A huge game-world<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h2>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14883\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/conan-exiles-world-insert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">In Conan Exiles, your journey begins in an inhospitable desert called the Exiled Lands. When the game entered Early Access, that was the only environment it boasted, but it was soon augmented by a wintry land entitled the Frozen North. Conan Exiles\u2019 emergence from Early Access will add two new areas beyond The Frozen North: The Volcano and The Swamp.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">The volcano is the first area you\u2019re likely to encounter, as it sits quite conspicuously above the Frozen North, with rivers of lava running down its slopes. Inside the volcano, you will find ruins and the Well of Skelos, from which an ominous light emanates. There, you can use a forge to create obsidian weapons. The volcano\u2019s dungeon is particularly challenging, having been balanced for max-level characters.<u><\/u><u><\/u><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">To the east lies the swamp, replete with deep jungles, miasmic marshes and a sunny coastline which may look idyllic but is populated by pirates. The swamp offers a whole new set of monsters along with a raft of places to explore, including the Pagoda of Boundless Lusts and Jamilia\u2019s Liberty, a beached ship which has become the home of the Black Hand pirates.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Elsewhere in the swamp, you\u2019ll find the Forgotten City of Xel-ha \u2013 the ruins of an ancient Lemurian city \u2013 and the Palace of the Witch Queen dungeon. It\u2019s even possible to build an entire city in the swamp\u2019s giant trees, and the whole area has been designed for level 20 to 40 characters.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Beware the Purge<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h2>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14884\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/conan-exiles-monster-insert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Another new feature Funcom has added to Conan Exiles, which greatly increases the scope of its gameplay, is the Purge. Once you start establishing an empire by building settlements and cities, the Purge will begin to kick in periodically. When the Purge occurs, you will find yourself under attack from the likes of frost giants, locusts, the undead, relic hunters, gorillas or countless other types of enemies: the type of Purge you get depends on where you have built your settlement.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Only the southernmost areas of The Exiled Lands \u2013 that is, the first areas you explore \u2013 are immune from the ravages of the Purge, so at least your first faltering attempts to create defensible settlements won\u2019t have to contend with that. But the longer you play, the more you build and the more enemies you kill, the quicker your Purge meter will fill up. Luckily, you get plenty of warning of an incoming Purge, and successfully defending against a Purge can yield all manner of legendary weaponry and loot.<u><\/u><u><\/u><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">The Purge also offers an illustration of how configurable Conan Exiles is: if you\u2019re playing in single-player or on a private server, you can turn the Purge off, or can define the intensity of Purges by tweaking settings like strength, duration and the number of waves.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Perks, gear and warpaint<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h2>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><\/u>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/conan-exiles-nailed-insert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">During the Early Access period, Funcom also revamped Conan Exiles\u2019 attributes system, so that for every ten increases in each attribute, you get a perk that unlocks a special ability. For example, getting 50 points in the Agility attribute unlocks a double-jump, and amassing 40 points in Strength means your heavy attacks will do 25 per cent more damage.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><\/u>Armour also plays into the attribute system \u2013 collecting exotic armour sets from the various cultures will increase your attributes and help you earn your perks quicker. And Funcom has introduced the concept of warpaint, which also adds to whatever attribute you have selected: you can only wear one warpaint at a time, but warpaint provides a handy means of getting that most-wanted perk more quickly.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Gear-wise, Funcom has added a huge amount to Conan Exiles during its Early Access period. Legendary weapons with unique bonuses abound, and the best way to get hold of those is via the game\u2019s world boss system, which lets you take on massive bosses and reap the rewards in loot.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Healing and farming<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h2>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/conan-exiles-tools-insert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Cementing its reputation as a no-compromise game, Funcom has tweaked Conan Exiles so that when you play it, you no longer heal over time, so eating food and drinking potions is very important. Funcom introduced farming to the game during Early Access, in order to make resource-gathering easier.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Other new additions for launch<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h2>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><\/u>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/conan-exiles-snake-insert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Conan Exiles\u2019 launch will see a new religion added to the game, centred on Derketo, who is the goddess of both fertility and death. Derketo\u2019s giant avatar is definitely a sight to behold: she\u2019s half beautiful woman and half rotting corpse. Funcom also added a fast-travel system to the game, in acknowledgement of the huge expansion of the map. For a general overview of what Funcom added for launch, you might want to peruse this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conanexiles.com\/blog\/dev-blog-19-countdown-to-launch\/\">blogpost<\/a>.\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">The server situation<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h2>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\"><u><\/u>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/conan-exiles-farming-insert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">Because of Conan Exiles\u2019 sheer ambition \u2013 offering support for PvE and PvP, as well as the chance for players to create their own custom servers \u2013 its server situation is pretty complex. Luckily, Funcom has chosen to explain it in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conanexiles.com\/blog\/weekly-community-newsletter-the-end-is-nigh\/\">blogpost<\/a>.<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-717442896776033938MsoNoSpacing\">The key pieces of server-related information are that the full launch servers will go live on\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1729116984\"><span class=\"aQJ\">12.00pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0UK time on May 8.
