The trapper has access to a net gun to capture and quickly kill dinosaurs, as well as disable larger dinosaur’s attacks or abilities to eat players. The humans have access to a trapper, a pyro, a machine gunner (commando), a sniper/medic (scientist) and a tracker. Then there’s “Dino Deathmatch”, where two teams of dinosaurs face off. “Get to the Chopper” is a game mode where humans must capture points before getting to an escape helicopter, reminiscent of the Mercy Hospital from “Left 4 Dead”, where instead of regular enemies there are only special varieties. “FreeRoam”, where there’s no win condition, and “Roleplaying” servers are also among the highest populated servers. In the most commonly played mode, “Team Deathmatch”, it’s a showdown between dinosaurs and humans for which teams can rack up the most points within the match duration. As with “TF2”, you play on a red or blue team with a diverse team of fighters.
As opposed to “Team Fortress 2”, which plays more like a game of chess where players only have the option to use tools identical to the other team, “Primal Carnage: Extinction” has a main game mode that pits two vastly different sides against each other: humans vs.
“Primal Carnage: Extinction” is a revamping of the arena fighting game, drawing clear inspiration for “Team Fortress 2” while throwing away the equal teams. So, we have “Primal Carnage: Extinction” by Circle 5 Studios and the question stands: Is it any good? With the dinosaur games having, well, gone the way of the dinosaur in the early-to-mid 2000s, it’s an incredibly pleasant surprise to see a developer making a game that doesn’t fall into the cookie cutter formulas a lot of indie devs follow. It’s rare that games emerge from early access without being a first-person survival game where you gather resources and fight zombies, and with recent trends it’s even rarer for a game to come along and be about dinosaurs.
