Some dinos will drop resources, which can turn into potential upgrades tokens that unlock slots for extra damage or stability for the gun of your choice. Upgrading gear is fulfilling and accessible. More options do unlock through leveling up, but I haven’t seen a lot in that department, but when I got the airstrike, that was an injection of power that I didn’t know I needed to feel in this game. Explosions from grenades and firing off rounds from the different guns all pack a punch, making killing these beasts even more fun. Whether it’s having an assault rifle as the primary weapon and an SMG as a sidearm with shock grenades, the limited supply does allow for some distinct ways to tackle the dinosaur invasion. The weapons and equipment bring something to the table and fit various playstyles. Little touches like that give some quality of life to the mechanics.

Also, nothing is more annoying than overly repetitive dialogue in such a tight gameplay loop. Lines thrown here and there deliver a glimpse of a personality, but the lighthearted nature of all of them does not hit a single beat. I got hooked by the premise but not fed anything substantial, but even the people who I can play as or talk to me through the radio for objectives have any life to them. Outside of having a campaign that does not build upon these ideas, the characters themselves don’t fill up the space between these gaps that I would desire.

Much of that information I had to Google as the only explanation of what’s going on does not give enough details even then, it is more of a backdrop to explain before going out for some Michael Bay styled action. The rest of the humans are up in space, and it’s up to you and up to two other members of the Emergency Response Agency to push back and reclaim your home planet. 3) Graphics and Audio – All Over the Place Story – A Shallow Explanationĭinosaurs have reconquered the Earth from humanity, except this time, the beasts are mutated with various attributes.
