Giant-slaying action-RPG Extinction stomps out on April 10th

Extinction is Iron Galaxy’s action-RPG that asks “what would it look like if a race of giant alien ogres invaded the earth, and the only thing that could stop them was a bloke with a flaming sword and a grappling whip?” The reply: fairly darn cool.

I received’t get to do any giant-slaying myself till the sport comes out on April 10th, so in the intervening time I’ll need to be sated with the trailer under. Think Attack on Titan, albeit with genero-club-wielding ogres moderately than terrifying bare people. Still although: grapple whips.

Those ogres are known as the Ravenii, and whereas they one way or the other possess the expertise to move themselves to our world they’re solely outfitted with spikey golf equipment and minimal patches of metallic armour. It’s most likely one thing to do with magic portals, innit?

While there’s a definite lack of any non-ogre-based giants to rumble with, the totally different armour sorts that the chap above talks about imply that you simply’ll need to take a barely totally different method to every gargantuan. One armour sort helps you to grapple whip to it, so one technique is to go away it on and grapple whip across the big like a gnat crossed with Indiana Jones. The final armour sort talked about additionally sounds attention-grabbing, in that it’s utterly impenetrable – you’ll have to seek out methods of coping with these ogres that transcend repeatedly stabbing them within the neck.

It’s price mentioning that whereas the main target could be on these giants, you additionally get to beat up a few of their smaller associates. If you wish to see some orcs and gargoyles getting biffed, here’s another trailer.
