Exoprimal

Einfach Kopf abschalten und ballern... passt schon... macht Spaß, Dinos zu killen...

Awesome :) Needs more different looking maps/environments like LP2 and more variety in objectives/scenarios. Feels like it needs more content/missions after completing the story.

Vollpreis ist zu teuer | Spiel an sich ist gut | Performance smooth | Synchro auf englisch und deutsch gemischt | hoffe sie senken den Preis dauerhaft -> kostenpflichtige Zusatzinhalte gibts ja schließlich massenhaft. Wäre schade, wenn das Spiel gänzlich stirbt.

So, it’s not a bad game, quite fun premise - shooting hordes of dinos while in exoskeleton with various abilities for each model. Issues lied not in gameplay per se, but in developer expectations and planning. With good discount it’s worth the money spent, as long as you do not expect to be playing it for a long time, though some ppl i encountered in game definitely sank quite some hours in it, so who knows. Let’s start with gameplay cause that’s main feature and main issue. This is third person shooter mostly, with few suits having melee focus, where as mentioned above you fight hordes of dinos - there are sizeable hordes of smaller creatures and single digit waves of big ones, like everyones favourite T-Rex. Except few plot missions you have full squad (4) dropped in map, after a short waiting room period, where you could switch suits to match your squad lineup - generally you’d want to have tank, support and two attackers. Surprisingly there are still people playing it, there are decent bots available to fill for humans if nobody is found, but most of the time after few minutes wait match-up with other players was done, not always full squad though. During match there will be few tasks given one after another - clear the area, where dinos would spawn through portals after you get to it, kill a big dino, that’d once again be dropped from portal there, escort the payloa… i mean a cargo, or whatever, etc. If you have played extraction shooters before or even smth like hero shooter with objectives - they are all same here. Sometimes you’d get pvp match, where another team goes through same objectives and it’s a race against each other. It’s not possible to attack them most of the time, except when you’re given ability to become a dino to invade enemy team or sometimes clash at final objective. There is also a timer in missions, that’d mean game over if time runs out. So far so good, right? Now to what made this game fail in my opinion - lack of variety. There are only few maps, few dino types, few objective types and not that many exoskeletons. And in addition to that - game was made to be live service - so you have a progression that’s supposed to take players a while to complete. You get exp for both account and exoskeleton. Account exp unlocks power-ups that could be used on any exo, some boosters and cosmetics. Exo exp used to unlock exo variants, that are slightly different and that suit specific power-ups. You can slot I think 3 power-ups at same time. To get your exosuit variant, you have to lvl it up sufficiently, to get next variant (each of 10 suits got 3 variants) you got to lvl up first variant. Cosmetics you’d get are mostly not skins, just decals or icons or smth, cause ofc game was made so that you’d have to buy it from shop. If there were more maps, more suits and more dino types on release or coming soon after it, this game might have taken its place in that genre niche, but alas, for not free to play title content was lacking, cause it was clearly planned to add more stuff way further down the line. Graphically game does not seem to have many issues - it looks pretty good, fights could be flashy, dinos and exos are nicely designed, maps are made well enough for what they are, even though they are rather boring in theme - just city stuff most of the time, and not really futuristic one, plain old western style town. To be honest have a hard time recalling much about audio - osts specifically, sounds were fitting - shooting guns, melee stuff, dino screams, but music idk, probably not outstanding in any good or bad way. But as mentioned, cannot fully remember. Plot is as complex as roadside pebble, though it does not really even need to be in game with such premise and gameplay. But hey, Horizon managed to have quite terrifyingly realistic story considering there are robot dinosaurs there, so its not impossible to craft those with crazy premises. Anyway - this is near future, world had dinos coming through portals, you’re one of world defenders - exosuit pilot and now with your new team patrolling supposedly calm island, when suddenly you all get pulled through one of sudden dino portals into island landing and story develops from there on, including AI, time travel kinda, parallel realities. But it’s very… plain and predictable.

Praises: - Neat story - Absurd concept thats fun - Exohuman is a banger track - Entertaining - Somewhat experimental progression system Complaints: - Not worth $60 - Barley a playerbase (literally 8 people on steam at the time of writing this) - So much potential but it just mostly relies on crossovers rather than perfecting the gameplay loop

i love this game, it has such a good twist on the classic hero shooter gameplay, i wish it was popular enough to stick around

Its good for MP - brawl, it would be even better if it had a singleplayer campaign.
