Inspired by classic "cinematic platformers" like Out of This World/Another World and Flashback: The Quest for Identity, Exile's End plays out as an exploration-driven side-scrolling adventure through a massive, interconnected laboratory and mining complex on a moody, lonely alien world, and offers a variety of diverse locations to explore and puzzles to solve through skilled platforming and clever usage of the game's myriad weapons.

When the son of Ravenwood Mining Corporation's president goes missing on a remote mining planet, and all contact with the miners' colony is lost, a mercenary team is hastily assembled and sent out to determine just what happened. Among the members of this team is Jameson, an old soldier with a dark past he's trying to forget.

Just as the ship carrying Jameson and his team arrives, however, it experiences a catastrophic electrical failure and crash-lands upon the planet's surface, with Jameson the only apparent survivor. Trying to reopen communications with the Ravenwood corporation, he comes across what's left of the mining operations upon this desolate planetscape, and learns a truth far more sinister than he ever could have imagined...
