Path of Exile Video Game Series
PoE
A series of free-to-play distributed hack'n'slash action RPGs that competes with, among others. Diablo. Cycle Path of Exile was created by New Zealand-based studio Grinding Gear Games, which has been in existence since 2006 and has focused on developing its brand since its inception.
A brief history of the games in the Path of Exile series
The first part of the series, simply titled Path of Exile, debuted on personal computers in October 2013.. The production received a very warm reception from players and reviewers, so over the following years the authors focused on its development, regularly updating its visuals and enriching it with additional content. In addition, in August 2017 the title came to Xbox One, in turn, in March 2019 it appeared on PlayStation 4.
In November 2019, Grinding Gear Games officially announced Path of Exile 2, which was initially intended to be not so much a new standalone production as a huge update to the first part of the series; however, over time, this idea was abandoned and the it was decided to make the new PoE. At the same time, it was revealed that the following will be coming to mobile devices Path of Exile Mobile, which is a special version of the first Path of Exile, prepared with smartphones and tablets in mind.
The plot in the Path of Exile series games
Path of Exile takes us to a dark fantasy universe. In the first part of the series, we play as an exile from the land of Oriath, who finds himself on the continent of Wraeclast, full of dangers, which is a kind of giant prison. Wanting to take revenge on the person who brought him this fate, the convict must face countless dangers and find a way to escape.
For the game Path of Exile 2 however, a separate campaign was prepared, the action of which was set twenty years after the events of the first installment of the series.
Gameplay in Path of Exile series games
In productions under the banner of Path of Exile we watch the action in isometric view. During the game we impersonate characters representing specific classes, while nothing stands in the way of creating various hybrids.. As we progress, we develop them, improving their attributes, acquiring special stones associated with certain active and passive skills, and collecting increasingly better equipment. It is worth noting that although the second installment of the series is based on the pillars erected by the "one", while working on it, the authors leaned into individual systems and made numerous changes based on fan suggestions.
Games in the series Path of Exile were built around an online multiplayer mode. Nevertheless, those willing can play them as if they were classic single-player productions. In addition, so-called leagues, i.e. special servers adapted to a specific style of gameplay, allow to customize the game to individual preferences.
The game itself takes place in a variety of locations, while its driving force are missions pushing the plot forward and side quests.. Along the way we eliminate hosts of opponents, with whom we fight dynamic skirmishes. After completing the main adventure, you can play within the so-called endgame, where we face maps full of extremely difficult challenges.
Economy in Path of Exile games
Economy in productions under the banner of Path of Exile are based on so-called spheres, which we "earn" by killing enemies and exchanging our items for them. Although microtransactions have also been implemented in the titles of the series, for real money we can only purchase cosmetic add-ons, such as character animations, dyes or visual effects.
