The Storyline and the Gameplay

In Path of Exile, the player assumes the role of a person who was banished from their home country. You wake on a seashore on the coast of Wraeclast. In the course of the game, you find the few basic items and learn about your character’s abilities. The passive skills are arranged in so-called trees and they are designed to strengthen your character. They are the same for all classes, but depending on which hero class you choose to play, different other elements of the tree are available to you at the beginning of the game. The active skills are based on skill gems. These are attack boosters and are placed in the weapons to help the hero fight monsters. There are three levels of skill gems their rarity: the normal are white, the magic ones are blue, the rare are violet, and the unique – orange.

It is possible to play in co-operative mode to defeat enemies (PvE), as well as to fight other players (PvP). There is an option to create a group of from four up to eight players in both modes.

Path of Exile is devoid of any standard currency in the form of coins. Instead, items are collected from defeated enemies or exchanged in stores in various “Spheres.” The level of a “Sphere” depends on the rarity of the item that the player wants to exchange.

The title will certainly draw Diablo fans – it is often compared to that classic game due to the obvious similarity, both in terms of the graphics design and the gameplay itself.
