Extinction

Extinction is an action adventure game for PC, PS4 and XONE. The title was developed by Iron Galaxy, a studio that didn’t create many games, but helped in production of bestsellers like BioShock Infinite and Borderlands 2.

Plot

Humans always fought each other, but the real threat was somewhere else, in the form of giant ogres who finally decided to step out of the shadows. They can be only fought by specially trained Sentinels. Sadly there aren’t many of these Sentinels left. The player assumes the role of one of the last ones, named Avila, who must face the giant creatures.

Mechanics

Extinction for PC, PS4 and XONE is an action game focused primarily on combat. The developers implemented an interesting combat system that combines action with tactics. Avil is a very agile and fast warrior who can immediately climb on buildings, run on walls and jump. He uses a special whip that can be used not only for moving, but in combat as well. Due to their size, the ogres are dangerous enemies. Before the player can kill such beast, first he must disarm it and attack its weak points. Only after that it is possible to perform an execution.

Battles are never similar to each other because the ogres are accompanied by lesser opponents and the surrounding can be destroyed during the fight. Enemies can attack from ground and from the sky. This makes a spectacular and explosive mix that forces the player to play carefully and to quickly adapt to dynamic changes of situation.

Game modes

In addition to a story campaign, Extinction for PC, PS4 and XONE features two additional modes – Custom Battles and Extinction. The former enables the player to create his own arenas with special objectives. Other players from across the world can then complete these objectives, fighting for best score. The Extinction is a horde mode in which the player faces waves of enemies.
