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.

  • +you like choosing classes with distinct tools and attacks
  • +you want cooperative survival against waves of AI dinosaurs

Not for you if...

  • −you need consistently populated public matches
  • −you prefer methodical shooting over chaotic arcade fights
