RPGs in space: Exiles Far Colony coming to iOS next week

The colony is located on the desert planet of Nottatooine.

Doesn’t it seem strange that the Pocket Tactics RPG of 2014, Dream Quest, is closer to being a board/card game than a traditional RPG. Heck, even over at 164 we had to give the RPG award to an actual board game port. For some reason, traditional RPGs and tablets just don’t seem to mix very well. Sure, there are some, but when you look at the amount of RPGs available for PC and consoles, the iOS RPG landscape seems barren.

Crescent Moon has been one of the developers trying to put an end to that. With their open-world, 3D RPGs like Aralon and Ravensword, Crescent Moon has been trying to bring the feel of huge RPGs such as the Elder Scrolls series to iOS for years. Next week, they’re trying again with the release of Exiles: Far Colony which is a sci-fi RPG that looks pretty fantastic.

Exiles tells the story of a colony on a far-flung planet that becomes enslaved by a corrupt government and, I’m guessing, your attempt to save the day. The game offers 3 different classes for both male and female characters, a huge open world and vehicles to explore it with, and huge alien battles. The trailer looks pretty fantastic, and you can catch it yourself after the break.
