Ultima: Exodus — About this game
Lord British calls for a party of four to investigate the threat known as Exodus. Choose prepared characters or create your own from five races and eleven professions, balancing weapons, spellcasting and the ability to handle traps. Towns and the overworld use an overhead view, while underground passages are explored from the party’s perspective. Conversations, mapping and the changing moons provide directions that a stronger sword alone cannot replace.
Combat moves to a separate grid. Each flashing party member can step once before selecting an attack, spell or tool; positioning matters, and you cannot flee after battle begins. Food belongs to individual characters, so share supplies before anyone runs out and starts losing HP. New equipment must be selected through STATUS after purchase. Experience and visits to Lord British support advancement, while dungeons hold marks needed to overcome later barriers. Inns record your progress on the original cartridge; they are save points rather than an automatic cure for every injury.
