Exanima gameplay

Dungeon crawler to the core, by definition. Not for the faint of heart, Examina is the Wizards of the Coast official campaigns equivalent of the cRPG world, and everything else is so much homebrew. You’re used to your Dungeon Master flying loose and bending the rule, but compared to this, your last D&D session was more like a free-to-the-public improv session. Every nuance of your controls in combat is incorporated, making the battles more realistic and more deadly.

There is no room for passive gaming or button mashing. You will need to master the controls if you hope to survive this physics-based combat system. Aim your attacks. Use your surroundings. Tactical fighting MUST be in your wheelhouse. You’ll come out of it a veritable thumb ninja. The world though… You traverse the world in much the same way, everything is just as immersive and interactive.

Next, arc the mace at a 45 ̊angle making sure that impact is 20 mph and at 1.75” below the jawline.
