almost a year ago Capcom announcement by surprise Exoprimalare new dinosaur game which unfortunately for many It is not related with Dino Crisisbut what do you want to offer us? lots of multiplayer fun competitive and cooperative in a world of science fiction more worked than many might believe.
In Vandal we have been able to play this title again to confirm the good feelings that it had already transmitted to us previously, being a tremendously funny, crazy and chaotic title to play in a company that has the wicker to become another success of the Japanese studio that has been shining brighter than ever for a few years now.
A universe and a story more worked than it might seem
Exoprimal it’s a hero shooter focused on cooperative and competitive multiplayer which has a story and a universe more elaborate than some might imagine. we meet in the to 2040 in which humanity has to face the mysterious invasions of dinosaurs that have plunged the planet into a crisis that puts humanity in check.
we are one elite soldiers trained to pilot revolutionary exo-armors Created by Aibus, a large technology company that with these devices and Leviathan, a hyper-advanced AI that is capable of predicting where these “nice dinos” will appear, wants to save humanity. However, as we have been able to verify in our own flesh, the story is more complicated than it seems and although we do not want to give you more details to avoid spoilers its plot in the hours that we have been able to play so far has surprised us in a very positive way and result more interesting than we expected.
A hero shooter with rotating games that leaves us with an interesting premise
Going into the playable level we are from the outset before a hero shooter book multiplayer as pWe can choose different exoarmor during the game, each of them with different abilities or powers which are divided into three categories that you can all imagine: tank, DPS (or assault as you prefer to call it) and support. We can also customize the exoarmor with different modules and improvements in the purest RPG style.
The interesting thing here is that to advance in the campaign we will always bet on the multiplayer (we can also play accompanied by the AI) with a objective system that changes in each game. It is not that it is curling the loop of originality since the game mode will always be a kind of “race” between two teams throughout a map, but every time we step on each of the levels that Exoprimal offers us dinosaurs and this “race” will take place in different and completely random places within it, which gives an interesting dynamism every time we enter the server.
Objective races with highly cooperative multiplayer
Within what is the game itself we will have two teams of five players who must compete to complete various objectives in the shortest possible timehaving to overcome a kind of gymkhana seasoned with dangerous dinosaurs, fulfilling different objectives to win. The team that wins this kind of race will be able to keep their lives and if he doesn’t… well, he’ll make tasty dinosaur feed.
In this particular obstacle course we’ve encountered targets of all sorts, from escorting cargo to slaughtering dozens or hundreds of dinosaursgoing through defending zones and, of course, being able to opt for a more offensive approach by attacking the enemy team to annihilate it, hindering the time in which they complete their objectives and having a better chance of winning the game.
Here it is very important, and we emphasize VERY, teamwork and get organized when creating a strategy or organizing the tasks that we are going to carry out during the game. This organization goes beyond trying to find a team with balanced roles, but to get the most out of Exoprimal we have to distribute the tasks at all timeschoose if we can divide the team so that part is in charge of completing objectives and another can try to bother the opposing team and, in short, encourage decisions for which communication and cooperation of the players are key at all times. In Exoprimal it is quite difficult for us to win the game if we dedicate ourselves to playing on our ownsomething that is learned at the first exchange in the games.
Exquisite combat mechanics
In addition to all this, as you can imagine at a playable level Capcom returns to the size and leaves us with a exquisite combat when it comes to facing off against all kinds of dinosaurs and also against the rival players present on the server.
Everything we do feels snappy and funfrom shooting with firearms to hand-to-hand combat or the movement of our exo-armors, being a title that from minute 1 it is very pleasant to playfrantic and tremendously satisfying at least in its first hours of play.
In addition, we also have to point out that the PC version is quite well optimizedexceeding 120 FPS with everything at maximum at 1440p playing with an RTX 4080 accompanied by an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, while testing it with a GTX 1070 Ti we have also been able to play at 1080p at more than 60 fps in medium graphics, also finding ourselves with a quite polished title and with few errors, something positive considering that there are still a couple of months left for its launch.
Capcom can do it again
The hours that we have been able to enjoy exoprimal have been very positive. Capcom looks like it’s going to do it again, that it’s going to leave us again with a very good title which, from the outset, has a more interesting story than it might seem, an interesting cooperative multiplayer concept, and very satisfactory combat and movement mechanics.
It remains to be seen if in the long run Exoprimal can be made repetitivesomething that can pass for the type of game concept we are facing, but, at least in these first hours, it does not seem to be the case.
We have made these prints thanks to a PC code provided by Plaion.
