About Exelio
Exelio is a survival-based RPG with adventure elements from AI Frog Interactive. It launched on PC in late 2026 as a single-player experience. The game tasks you with surviving in a dynamic world where nature shifts constantly, requiring adaptation to environmental changes and threats. Its indie charm blends resource gathering, crafting, and combat with narrative-driven exploration. You’ll navigate a landscape where beauty and danger coexist, shaping your path through skill progression and decision-making. Think of it as a solo survival journey where every choice matters, set in a world that won’t stay the same.
Gameplay
Exelio’s gameplay loops around scavenging, crafting tools, and battling hostile wildlife while managing hunger, health, and stamina. The world evolves in real time, storms might spawn at any hour, forcing you to retreat or fight. Combat is melee-heavy with a light bow system, and stealth helps avoid unnecessary fights. You’ll build bases from scratch, using gathered materials to create shelters and traps. Skill trees let you specialize in combat, survival, or exploration. Missions often tie to environmental mysteries, like decoding ancient glyphs. Sessions typically last 2-4 hours, with downtime spent upgrading gear or farming resources. The camera angle is third-person with tight controls, but the UI can feel cluttered during intense moments.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Exelio 7.8/10, with 78% completing the main story in an average of 25 hours. 60% report feeling “excited” post-play, while 20% call it “frustrating” due to unclear quest markers. Critics praise its “dynamic world design” (Metacritic: 82) but note repetitive combat. Achievement stats show 100+ unlocks, with 75% of players hitting 80% completion. Community moods skew positive (45% “engaged,” 30% “curious”), though 15% feel it’s “overhyped.” One review: “Loves the survival depth but needs more enemy variety.” Another: “Adequate but forgettable compared to similar titles.”
PlayPile's Take
Exelio is a solid but flawed survival RPG for fans of solo sandbox experiences. It offers 25+ hours of content at a $39.99 price point, with 100 achievements that reward thorough exploration. The dynamic environment and skill progression shine, but repetitive combat and UI quirks hold it back. If you enjoy crafting, base-building, and adaptive survival mechanics without multiplayer demands, it’s worth a try. Skip if you prefer tightly polished action or cooperative play.
