Ultima – Exodus (Japan) brings the classic computer role-playing experience to the NES. Set in the realm of Sosaria, you form a party of four adventurers from various races and classes to track down and defeat the titular demonic entity, Exodus. The game blends top-down overworld exploration with first-person dungeon crawling and transitions to a tactical, turn-based grid for combat encounters.
How to Play
Navigate the world using the D-pad (Arrow keys). Press the A button (Z key) to open the command menu to talk, fight, or use magic, and to confirm selections. Use the B button (X key) to cancel actions, and press Start (Enter) to view your party’s status.
Tips
- Before venturing far, spend time fighting weak enemies near Lord British’s castle to earn gold and upgrade your party’s weapons and armor.
- Equipping ranged weapons like slings and bows gives you a massive advantage in tactical combat by allowing you to attack enemies before they close the distance.
- You must delve into the first-person dungeons to find the four Marks (Kings, Fire, Force, and Snake), which are required to bypass specific barriers and complete your quest.
