Conan Exiles is a harsh survival MMO with a deep crafting loop and a world that does not care if you are prepared. It rewards patience, planning, and a group that can divide roles. When it clicks, you get a steady rhythm of gathering, building, and defending something that feels earned.
The World Is the Boss
Heat, cold, hunger, and corruption shape every expedition. You do not just fight enemies, you fight the terrain. That pressure makes the world feel alive, but it also means casual sessions can feel punishing if your group is unprepared.
Settlements and Thralls
Base building is the long-term hook. The climb from a rough camp to a fortified settlement is slow but satisfying, and the thrall system adds real weight to progression. Every new workstation or recruited specialist changes how your crew operates.
PvE First, PvP Optional
The game supports PvE, PvE-C, and PvP servers. We prefer PvE-focused play, where the tension comes from survival and dungeon runs rather than being wiped overnight. PvP can be thrilling, but it is a commitment you should choose with your group, not stumble into.
Why It Belongs Here
Conan Exiles earns its place because it delivers meaningful group play, long-term progression, and a Western fantasy tone that feels familiar. It is demanding, but when your crew commits, it creates the kind of shared stories that keep an MMO list honest.
