They have helpful secondary powers as well. Some characters have a unique dodge or traversal move. The developers add different touches to exosuits make them stand out. Players can choose from 10 exosuits at launch in “Exoprimal.” (Capcom)
Players get to choose between PvP, PvE or randomly between the two. The quicker squad has an advantage in the final mission, which can be a head-to-head contest or one that focuses on killing dinosaurs. The squads are in a race to complete objectives (most of the time it’s killing dinosaurs) faster than the rivals. That’s the premise that sets up the gameplay as “Exoprimal” pits two teams of five against each other. Using its godlike powers, the AI forces people from other realities to fight dinosaurs in his “wargames” to gather combat data. When they wake up, they discover they’re in the past and the island is now run by a rogue artificial intelligence named Leviathan. Unfortunately, their aircraft crashes during a routine patrol mission around Bikitoa Island. The only defense are exosuits developed by the Aibius Corporation.Īs an exofighter, players create a character nicknamed Ace and they join the Hammerhead squad to the defeat the dinos. Mysterious rifts in space-time have popped around Earth and unleashed deadly dinosaurs on the populace. They don powerful exosuits that make them look like Transformers and give them the firepower to take down the beasts.ĭinosaurs and mechs are on opposite ends of the spectrum, like “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” but Capcom makes the two disparate ideas work through a convoluted story involving alternate realities and time travel. Thankfully, players aren’t fighting these creatures with regular machine guns and conventional weapons. The developer throws so many terrible lizards at players they seem like a roiling, churning tide of teeth and fangs. It’s for players who enjoy teamwork and collaboration, but who don’t want to do it in a head-to-head situation, where teammates scream at each other or bicker over perceived slights and disagreements.Ĭapcom solves this with dinosaurs. With “Exoprimal,” Capcom is hoping to attract fans that enjoy games such as “Overwatch,” but don’t exactly love the hypercompetitive aspects.
For every “League of Legends” that blows up into a video game powerhouse, there’s a “Dawngate” that never quite gets off the ground. It takes work, excellent execution and plenty of luck to carve a niche in an established genre.
