Conan Exiles Enhanced: Isle of Siptah serves as a substantial expansion to the open world survival crafting game Conan Exiles. Players begin shipwrecked on a new island filled with distinct environments and threats, where they gather resources, craft equipment, construct bases, and engage in combat against creatures and other survivors.
Gameplay
The core loop centers on survival progression in a hostile setting. Players start with basic tools and gradually advance to advanced crafting of weapons such as greatswords from steel or obsidian, while expanding from simple camps into larger structures. Exploration covers sun-drenched beaches littered with shipwrecks, dense redwood forests, valleys containing ancient Acheronian ruins, a resettled Stygian colony, pirate camps, and the central Tower of Siptah. Underground vaults tied to elder races contain puzzles, hidden halls, and combat encounters that yield treasures and new abilities.
A persistent storm around the tower generates demonic monstrosities from the outer void, which players defeat for a new resource and rewards. Periodic surges of magic from the tower, linked to the elder god Nyarlathotep, summon humans and creatures from elsewhere that players can capture as thralls to build forces. Combat includes mounted options such as the rhino, alongside new armor sets, tools, and weapons. Building incorporates two additional styles using shipwreck remnants and stormglass materials. Multiplayer elements introduce competition for scarce resources among other players on the island.
Game Modes
The expansion supports single-player sessions, online co-op play, and online PvP interactions. These options allow progression either alone or alongside others, with PvP introducing direct competition for territory and thralls in shared worlds. No separate named modes beyond these core formats appear in official listings.
Exploration and Progression
Progression ties directly to the island's layout and hazards. Early focus remains on basic survival and tool creation, shifting toward dungeon delves for elder race remnants and storm encounters for unique items. Thrall capture during surges adds a layer of army building that influences later conflicts. The two new building sets enable varied architectural styles suited to coastal or mystical themes, expanding creative options without altering the fundamental resource management and combat systems.
Is It Worth Playing?
Steam user reviews for the expansion stand at mixed, with 52 percent positive from over 1,400 ratings. It delivers a fresh map and mechanics for those already invested in the base game's survival crafting loop, including building, combat, and thrall management in a Conan-themed world. Players seeking additional exploration and progression systems may find value, while those preferring entirely new formats or higher review consensus might consider the base experience first. Ongoing support for the enhanced version continues through updates to the core title.
