Path of Exile

Path of Exile is a free action RPG created by Grinding Gear Games, first launching for Windows in October 2013 after an open beta phase. Set in a grim fantasy realm, the game unfolds in the aftermath of exiles sent from the island nation of Oriath to the ruined continent of Wraeclast, occupied by ancient gods. Players assume the role of an exile, selecting from seven distinct character classes with varied skills and abilities.

Their mission is to battle through Wraeclast, confronting ancient deities and formidable adversaries on their quest to return to Oriath. Additionally, a sequel named "Path of Exile 2" is presently in development. Initially conceived as a major update for the original game in 2019, the studio later revealed it as a separate, standalone game in 2023.

Path of Exile GamePlay

Path of Exile is an action RPG where players control a character exploring vast areas, battling monsters, and completing quests from NPCs to gain experience and gear. Inspired by the Diablo series, particularly Diablo II, the game offers procedurally generated areas, providing unique experiences with each playthrough. Players can choose from seven character classes, each aligned with specific attributes like Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence.

Items, randomly generated with varied properties and gem sockets, form a significant part of gameplay, requiring players to seek balanced equipment. Skill gems, when placed in gear sockets, grant active skills that level up alongside the character. Modifications via Support Gems alter primary skills, enhancing attack speed, damage, and more based on linked sockets.

The game features a vast passive skill tree shared among all classes, offering choices upon leveling up to enhance attributes and abilities. Additionally, each class has access to Ascendancy classes, providing specialized bonuses. The game's economy relies on bartering "currency items" that serve various purposes, offering a unique system distinct from traditional in-game currencies.

Path of Exile also offers diverse league options, including Standard, Hardcore, and Solo Self-Found modes, along with temporary challenge leagues, each with its own rules, item accessibility, and duration, offering players varied and exciting gameplay experiences.

Path of Exile Plot

In Path of Exile, players find themselves as exiles on the cursed continent of Wraeclast, a land once prosperous but now serving as a penal colony. The game follows the Exile's journey to survive the harsh wilderness and confront the dark secrets lurking in the ruins of an ancient empire and the Vaal civilization.

Initially exiled by High Templar Dominus for various crimes, the Exile encounters and defeats Dominus and his assistant Piety, uncovering their involvement in disturbing experiments. They learn of a device created by Malachai, used to awaken a powerful entity called "The Beast." The Exile battles through challenges and eventually ventures into The Beast, defeating Malachai.

Returning to Oriath, they encounter corruption within the templar order under High Templar Avarius and overthrow it, facing the god "Innocence." However, the Exile unintentionally awakens old gods, leading to chaos in Oriath.

With guidance from Sin, they return to Wraeclast to extract the Beast's essence to combat the destructive god Kitava. After defeating the reawakened gods and reuniting with Innocence, Sin, and Innocence help the Exile defeat Kitava, restoring balance to Oriath.
