The game is fun and definitely worth the small price tag, particularly as an introduction to the world Archaelund will take place in. I just started playing it again recently do to my excitement over this announcement. Biggest drawbacks to Exiled Kingdoms would be some of the open-source assets and music used, as well as the fairly simple combat. That isn't to say the combat is bad, or lacks challenge, but it's clearly no where near what Archaelund is aiming for (or even really similar at all, as it's ARPG combat).
Greatest strengths of Exiled Kingdom would be the world building, lore, exploration, interesting quest design, reputation/faction system, tone, meaningful character progression, dungeon crawling, and itemization. All of these more than make up for the shortcomings I mentioned. I'd recommend it to anyone who's interest has been piqued by this announcement, with the warning to not enter it with wild expectations. It's impressive and fun as a developer's first project and you can see the promise of future development to come, but it has its problems.

Damn I really didn't like Exiled Kingdom but I tried it on my iPhone. Now based on this Archaelund MASSIVE INCLINE I've got to go back and buy the Steam version of Exiled. I mean damn this Archaelund game is tops on my watch list now.

If Exiled Kingdoms is any indicator of what these guys are capable of I'm very excited. Not as excited as I am for Cyberpunk 2077 tho.
