Exile, called Exile: Toki no Hazama he (エグザイル 時の狭間へ) in Japan, is a 1991 action RPG by Telenet Japan released on the Sega Mega Drive. It is part of Telenet Japan's XZR/Exile series of action RPGs and was also released on the TurboGrafx-CD (though that version was localized by Working Designs). It is a remake of XZR II', which was the second PC game in the series, but repurposed as a stand-alone story.

Over the course of human history, one country managed to conquer the world through war — only to be destroyed by the desert warrior Sadler. Peace did not last long: Sadler waged a brutal war with Luciel, a rival tribe.

You play as Sadler; he will be followed by various party members who join you while meeting them in towns. Controls are typical for RPGs:

  • Menu: A and C opens the main menu. B makes selections. When in a menu, C closes the current menu and A closes all menus.
  • Towns, The Desert, possibly other areas: Merely touch a person to talk to him. When you enter a doorway, rather than go inside the building, you automatically talk to whoever's inside; when in a shop, A or C to stop shopping and leave.
  • Map Screen: You get here in between other areas. Simply use the D-pad to navigate and hit B to make a selection.
  • Battles: These take place in side-scrolling areas found in the Desert and possibly other overworlds. A opens the menu, B attacks with the currently equipped weapon, and C jumps.
