The player controls a single character from an overhead perspective and explores large outdoor areas and caves or dungeons, battling monsters and fulfilling quests from non-player characters (NPCs) to gain experience points and equipment. Players are then tasked with fighting their way back to Oriath, defeating ancient gods and great evils during their journey. Taking control of an exile, players can choose to play as one of seven character classes – Marauder, Duelist, Ranger, Shadow, Witch, Templar, and Scion. Path of Exile takes place in a dark fantasy world, where the government of the island nation of Oriath exiles people to the continent of Wraeclast, a ruined continent home to many ancient gods. A version for Xbox One was released in August 2017, and a PlayStation 4 version was released in March 2019. Following an open beta phase, the game was released for Microsoft Windows in October 2013. Path of Exile is a free-to-play action role-playing video game developed and published by Grinding Gear Games.
