#Ultima iii exodus series#
The game is named for its chief villain, Exodus, a demonic creation of Minax and Mondain that the series later describes as neither human nor machine.Īt the beginning of the game, Exodus is terrorizing the land of Sosaria from his stronghold on the Isle of Fire (known as Fire Island in Ultima Online). The player's mission is to destroy the final remnant of the evil Mondain and Minax. The look of the game is no longer based on certain characteristics of the Apple II hardware it is rather a carefully designed screen layout.Īfter Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress, which was set on Earth, the story of Exodus centers on a quest back in Sosaria, the world of Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness. Most of the futuristic aspects of the game seen in the previous installments are gone, including flying vehicles, time machines and spaceships.īy denying the player the ability to see what's behind mountain peaks, forests, and walls, the areas can now contain many small surprises such as hidden treasure, secret paths and out-of-the-way informants. Unlike the two previous Ultima games which had wire-frame first-person dungeons, Exodus' dungeons are solid-3D in appearance, integrated into the game's plot.
Players now battle groups of enemies on a separate battle screen, where the player has to understand weapons and magic systems and employ rudimentary tactics in order to overcome each opponent, as opposed to the system in the previous two games, in which the player is simply depicted as trading blows with one opponent on the world surface until either is defeated. Also, Exodus differs from previous games in that players now direct the actions of a party of four characters rather than just one. Released in 1983, it was the first Ultima game published by Origin Systems.Įxodus features revolutionary graphics for its time, being the first computer RPG to display animated characters. Exodus is also the name of the game's principal antagonist. Ultima III: Exodus is the third game in the Ultima series series.
