About the Game
The game begins with the playable character being rescued by the eponymous hero, Conan. The character has been found guilty of a crime and crucified and left to die next to an abandoned and derelict road. Conan cuts you loose and then vanishes, having played his part in your life!
The game is set in the mythical Hyborian times from the book series of the same name. Players must work their way along the evolutionary arc moving from wood to stone to iron to steel tools and equipment all in a matter of mere hours.
Instead of tutorials, the player has journals which spell out a suggested learning curve, talking you through gathering materials, finding food and water – your health metre is fairly fragile during the first few levels after your rescue and must be watched carefully until you have enough possessions that it maintains itself, more or less.
There is a truly impressive crafting skill tree to work through too, and the rare materials needed for the more exotic, high end items are sure to have you donning your armour and grabbing your sword (or weapon of choice) and heading off to distant and unexplored bits of the map in search of them.
Some of the items need an awful lot of work to produce: suits of armour, for instance, require a lot of material and three different crafting stations before you are even close to thinking about suiting up. But they are worth it: the sense of pride when you put on your armour and survive encounters with ease that would have killed you: victory!
A later upgrade introduced pets to the game, so you never need to be alone again. Raise your pet from a cub or egg, keeping it safe and fed and it will grow into a faithful and loyal companion, regularly producing poop that you can use as fertiliser.
Desert, Tundra or Mountains?
There are three types of terrain, called biomes in which your character can explore, hunt, build and survive. They are as follows:
Desert: the original Exiled Lands to which the player has been banished, with every possibility of sudden unpleasant death around every dune.
Tundra: The Frozen North offers new building materials and is a source of Star Metal, a rare substance that makes strong armour and better weapons. It also offers terrible weather and lethal storms, so make sure you’re prepared for bad weather!
The Highlands: a pleasant green and hilly region that tends to be well-populated, both with people (who may be hostile) and creatures (who will almost certainly be hostile!).
Volcano: Surprisingly well populated for a place of lethal heat, the volcano is home to creatures such as Living Magma and various Serpentmen, as well as hosting a plethora of treasure-containing ruins and fallen temples. Survive by using heat-resistant armour and taking along plenty of ice and water to keep your cool.
Ways to Play
Single player: make your way in the world: building, hunting and defending yourself. Playing this way is surprisingly reminiscent of Minecraft with its huge amount of creative freedom.
Tethered Co-op with a buddy: you and a friend can work together to explore the map, puzzle out hidden clues and journey to far off distant places. Work is a little easier with two of you and battles more intense. Having a companion along makes the game even more fun
Multiplayer – strangers can destroy all your work just for fun. When you’re offline you should be safe from attack, but other players don’t always play by the rules, especially if you join someone’s private server. Limited to forty players per server
However you decide to play, keep your eyes peeled for the hidden storyline: a series of subtle markers and occasionally friendly NPCs that will guide you towards a mystery tale: something to add even more intrigue to an absorbing game.
Conan Exiles is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

Its lots of fun to play alone or with friends!
I really love the fighting mechanics, the character design with the small storys, exploring and building!
Great game, really fun with friends. Possibly the best survival game imo. Gameplay is relatively smooth and combat is fun and rewarding. You can build many thing your imagination is the limit.
Instantly got my code after purchase and the game is working very well.
The price for the game is very good but the price for the DLC is very expensive despite being 75% off but still a good purchase and would 100% recommend everyone buying it.
One of the best survival games out there. You can literally do anything you want like tame animals, get npcs to work for you and build your own town if you want to. Another good thing about the game is the combat system and thats because you can craft your own weapons based on your own playstyle.
exelent game for me i like to play it with frends so we go play on a private server an make a lot of fun and nice moments where we can play togetrher and go exploier the game more and more and more lets go
Online official servers: Very buggy and server connection problems which WILL lead to loss of inventory, weapons, armour, companion thralls etc. and developers will NOT replace your losses caused by in game bugs or game server issues.
The game's world is filled with danger, from savage beasts to other players who are out to take everything you have. Players must scavenge for resources, craft weapons and tools, build shelters, and form alliances with other players to survive in this hostile environment.
One of the standout features of Conan Exiles is the game's deep crafting system. Players can gather resources from the world around them and use them to craft weapons, armor, and other useful items. There are also a variety of crafting stations available that players can use to create more advanced items.
The combat in Conan Exiles is also a highlight. The game offers a satisfyingly visceral combat system that rewards skill and timing. Players can use a variety of weapons, from swords and axes to bows and magic, to take on enemies both human and animal.
The game's visuals are stunning, with a wide variety of environments to explore, from lush forests to desolate deserts. The character models are well-designed, and the game's graphics are generally impressive.
One area where Conan Exiles falls a bit short is in its story. While the game's world is rich in lore and backstory, the actual story campaign feels a bit lackluster. However, this is a minor complaint in an otherwise excellent game.
Overall, Conan Exiles is a fantastic survival game that offers a thrilling and immersive experience for players. With its deep crafting system, satisfying combat, and gorgeous visuals, this game is a must-play for fans of the genre.
