A New Giant-Slaying Action Game: Extinction
From the studio who is behind the creation of Killer Instinct, we have another action-based combat game. Iron Galaxy and Maximum Games have recently released a well-prepared cinematic trailer to inform the action-games world:
“This is no longer a war. It is an annihilation. And you are all that stands between humanity…and extinction.”
As we can clearly see in the trailer, the fight will be between tiny humans and collosal ogres and bloodthirsty flying beast. This will be a fight against the total annihilation of humans. And you will be the one to protect the humanity while trying not to get squished by giant 150 feet tall enemies.
“As far back as anyone can remember, humanity has been at war with itself. For generations, kingdoms have fought amongst themselves while the real threat loomed in the distance. “
The game will feature many different ways to slaughter giants and monsters. During the Deep Story Campaign, you will be the ultimate protector of the humankind. You will have to fight off these giant and relentless enemies while trying to rescue as many civilians as possible. This mode features a huge main battle as well as many side quests and objectives to improve your character and get better at the “giant slaying business”.
A fast-paced, skill-based combat system
The combat, as the devs indicate, will be “Skill-based”. You will be running, jumping, climbing, wall-running and using your whip to execute deadly air assaults (that’s where the head is after all) to finish off your enemies. The objects and the environement, as it seems, will be fully interactive and you will have to use this to your advantage.
The devs tried to guarentee, if you ask me, the replayability by implementing a mechanic which ensures that every battle field is different from the other. In addition to that, you will have the opportunity to create your own customized battle grounds and challenge players online. So, if you put together an interactive environement with this idea, we can say that you will be testing your skills in many different ways on each battle ground you fight.
Different ways to slay giant ogres
Apart from the main campaign with side quests and objectives, Extinction allows players to enjoy chopping off heads faster and without any distraction in its Extinction Mode. In this mode, you will be fighting against waves of enemies and delve into a never-ending action experience.
As for the gameplay, we don’t have any examples to support these informations (yet). But the company ensured fans that they will be giving more information “behind the closed doors” of E3. So, maybe, we will have a chance to have a better idea about the game during that event. And we’ll be able to decide if chopping huge ogres’ heads off will be exciting enough. But overall, I think the action-game lovers will have a really good time playing this game.
Until we have a better idea about Extinction, enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!
