For whatever reason, this machine has trapped the island in an endless time loop, replaying a fateful day three years in the past and summoning exofighters from parallel realities to engage in wargames against the dinosaurs to fuel its mysterious obsession for collecting combat data.
A small ragtag team of these pilots crashlands over a ruined island that Aibius’ sentient A.I., Leviathan, has overtaken.
Mega-corporation Aibius’ answer is training pilots to use high-tech Exosuits (basically suped-up Iron Man suits) to fight back. In 2043, mysterious outbreaks of dinosaur swarms plague Earth. Your mileage will vary depending on what you’re here for, but this novel approach creates one of the most surprisingly enjoyable titles of the year.Įxoprimal’s premise drew me in for its sheer silliness. What appears to be a class-based multiplayer shooter winds up being a trojan horse to deliver a bonkers single-player tale. Capcom uses a 5v5 hero shooter template to weave an absolutely absurd tale involving dinosaurs, parallel realities, time travel, time loops, artificial intelligence, and more dinosaurs. I’ve experienced this tense situation dozens of times in Exoprimal’s cooperative wargames. All the while, my finger rests on the trigger of my grenade launcher, waiting to see the whites of my scaly enemies’ eyes before unleashing hell. A sniper takes point on an elevated perch. Our tank units move forward and activate their shields to create a defensive wall. It’s a jaw-dropping sight, but that awe turns to intimidation at the staggering number of adversaries thirsty for our blood. It spews hundreds of raptors that rain from the sky, tumbling down buildings before they sprint in our direction. As an omnipresent robotic voice condescendingly wishes my team luck, my eyes widen in disbelief as a massive portal materializes over a city block.
