Depending on the resolution and frame-rate desired, I am fairly confident that the game should run quite well on a variety of hardware configurations. Whilst the recommended specs are an i7-4770 and GTX 970 (or comparable AMD components) as my setup exceeds those figures, the game ran as smooth as butter with all graphical settings set to their maximum. The minimum PC specs state: an Intel Core i5-760 (or AMD Athlon X4 740), 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (or AMD Radeon HD 7870). Truly a tale of surviving rather than thriving.Īs Extinction is a DirectX 11 game, it runs extremely well on modern hardware. Whilst you will try your hardest to save every civilian possible, it soon becomes apparent that not everyone will survive many games provide the fantasy of ‘the good guys winning’ and nobody getting hurt, this story focuses on mitigating casualties in order to ensure the human race avoids Extinction. Extinction, at its core, is the dark and visceral story of humanity’s struggle for survival against the gargantuan Ravenii and their endless hordes of Jackals their purpose is simple, to wipe the human race off the face of the earth. The playful animation as well as the brightly coloured characters/monsters/environments are a stark contrast to the game’s subject matter however. These cut-scenes were fantastic to watch, and deliver some shocking plot twists further on in the campaign. Between each chapter of the campaign however, you are treated to superbly animated cut-scenes which provides the origin story of Avil and his childhood friend Xandra. These plot developments are fully voiced, and involve static graphical images of the characters involved in the conversation. The protagonist-Avil-converses with other key characters at the beginning of each campaign mission, as well as throughout and occasionally at the end. The plot unfolds through the use of several story-telling mechanisms, the majority of which occur during the campaign missions themselves. Whilst Iron Galaxy have been involved with more than 30 well-known games, the list of original titles they have developed is considerably shorter with Extinction only being the 4th game that they have produced themselves. They are also often associated with fighting games, as they developed several seasons of Killer Instinct and were involved with Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition but they have also worked on titles such as Destiny and Batman: Arkham Origins, to name but a few. Iron Galaxy are best known for providing technical consulting to larger developers, as well as specialising in porting games to different platforms. Whilst the Announcement Trailer at E3 2017 did not feature any actual gameplay footage, it certainly set the tone for what to expect from their latest Action Game: Iron Galaxy stated that the gameplay would be fast and fluid, and require players to ‘tactically disarm and dismember enemies’ in order to weaken them before they can be killed.
