What is Primal Carnage: Extinction?
On a remote island chain where resurrected dinosaurs have escaped, players pick a mercenary or dinosaur class and fight the opposing team in multiplayer matches. Mercenaries use first-person shooting and gadgets, while dinosaurs use species-specific attacks and roar abilities. Other modes include stealing or defending eggs and cooperative survival against AI dinosaurs.
