WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (June 1, 2017) — Legend calls them the Ravenii, encroaching armies of bloodthirsty monsters that once threatened to destroy humankind. Now, the threat has returned. Iron Galaxy and Maximum Games are proud to announce their thrilling, fast-paced action game – Extinction.

As far back as anyone can remember, humanity has been at war with itself. For generations, kingdoms have fought amongst themselves while the real threat loomed in the distance. Only those trained in the ways of the ancient order stand a chance at defeating the 150-foot-tall ogres and the armies that trail in their wake. You are one of the world's last Sentinels, a soldier named Avil, equipped with the skills to battle the endless waves of Ravenii

In Extinction, you'll fight massive ogres and their minions across a sprawling countryside, defending cities and rescuing native villagers torn from their homes. Swiftly define your strategy as hordes attack from the ground and air. Use the dynamic skill-based combat system to tactically disarm and dismember enemies before going in for the kill.

”Extinction is absolutely relentless," said Kraig Kujawa, Game Director at Iron Galaxy. ”We're really happy with the fast, fluid feel of the game and we're looking forward to showing it behind closed doors at E3."

”As the protagonist tasked with a huge undertaking - both in fighting enormous ogres and saving humans from disaster - each player's experience will be varied, as the landscapes and battle situations are never identical," said Derek Neal, Executive Producer at Maximum Games.

Features include:
Deep Story Campaign. Protect the human population across an abundant story campaign, rescuing as many civilians as possible and taking down brutal opponents.

Dynamic Side Missions. Complete numerous side missions with various objectives, earning upgrades to aid you in your campaign.

Skill-Based Combat. Travel horizontally and vertically, perform wall runs, and use your whip as a vault to perform devastating air assaults. Master dynamic combat maneuvers to effectively traverse the giant beasts and expose their weak points, progressing along different skill trees to develop a path best suited to your playstyle.

Interactive Environment. Move freely around a fully destructible environment, and use objects throughout the world to your strategic advantage.

Innumerable Battle Scenarios. Every battlefield is different from the last, ensuring a unique combat situation each time you play.

Custom Battles. Create custom battlegrounds with varied objectives, and challenge players online to compete for the top score.

Extinction Mode. Fight off a continuous horde of assailants as wave after wave of ogres and their minions attack without relent.

This is no longer a war. It's an annihilation. And you are all that stands between humanity ... and extinction.
Extinction will be available on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC in Q1 2018.

 

[Lanrutcon]

What am I looking at here

Oh, it's not a MOBA. Nice.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Attack on Ogre

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Getting some real Attack on Titan vibes here. Especially at end of the trailer.

 

[The Flash]

If there's not an area in the game called the Lang Zone then what's the point

 

[T.O.P]

The premise sounds cool as heck

Some AoT vibes as well...let's see some gameplay

 

[FHIZ]

What am I looking at here

Your next stop in the Langzone.

 

[oti]

Getting a mix of early Gameloft mobile God of War clones and Attack on Titan vibes here.

 

[Raide]

Attack on Ogre

Haha, was thinking the same thing!

 

[Htown]

Somebody likes Attack on Titan.

 

[RBH]

 

[Elixist]

sounds kinda cool love destructible environs

 

[iFirez]

The screenshots look like a mix between Amalur and AoT smushed together.

 

[jacobeid]

If there's not an area in the game called the Lang Zone then what's the point

Completely agree with this.

 

[Frozenprince]

I mean, AoT is a cool concept so, I can see why aping it would be in vogue at some point.

Looks fun.

 

[Allonym]

Looks interesting. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for it during E3.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Looks cool.

God of War like?

 

[The Greek Freak]

Griity reboot of the wreckateer?

Could be interesting but the protagonist looks like a tool.

 

[BrettHeazy]

Attack on Warcraft.

 

[sibarraz]

gee, I wonder from which anime they took inspiration

 

[cireza]

Looks fun ! Always good to have something brand new to play.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Looks like it has potential, hopefully they can really nail the movement.

 

[butman]

If it is like Dragon's Dogma i'm in!

 

[wapplew]

Enemy design kinda generic, any gameplay trailer?

 

[thekiddfran]

CG trailer got me hyped but I need to see gameplay

 

[Weebos]

With that name I expected some sort of generic scifi shooter.

The game looks interesting, definitely inspired by Attack on Titan.

Will keep an eye on it.

 

[texhnolyze]

Looks promising, a Western Attack on Titan. But I doubt it's an RPG.

CG trailer got me hyped but I need to see gameplay

Gameplay reveal at E3, apparently.

 

[dex3108]

Cautiously optimistic.

 

[Novel Mike]

Looks very generic all around, the press release is also full of buzzwords that ultimately mean absolutely nothing.

The trailer itself wasn't very well done either with a rather boring looking protagonist and the most basic of all basic fantasy enemy designs. This game instantly makes me think it'll be just another run of the mill action game that generally gets a 7 or lower from most review outlets if they bother to review it at all. Gameplay trailer could save it but judging by what they say in the PR and the trailer I am not even slightly optimistic.

Also for the love of god would people learn that narration over a trailer is exceptionally hard to do well and ends up distracting from what the visuals are trying to do or can bring the momentum of a trailer down with cheesy dialog like in this one.

Not trying to be mean, just not impressed.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

This might be a bit harsh but the name and trailer are awfully generic. And I'm not crazy about the art direction. But Iron Galaxy are good people so I hope this is great.

 

[Soren01]

UE4?

 

[Keasar]

Let's see...

Works pretty well.

 

[chogidogs]

Best looking flash game I've ever seen.

 

[FlyStarJay]

wow i like, but aren't they a small team? can they pull this off? seems like a big game

 

[stan423321]

This thread's title is a prime example of why I don't like "title case" in English. I thought at first Iron Galaxy announced a fourth wall breaker called "Action Game Extinction". Oh well.

Action Game: Extinction would have been a better name.

 

[Alexious]

Sounds like it could have been even better with proper multiplayer (co-op, for instance).

 

[Endless]

Another gameplay pic

Key Art

and the ones already posted at bigger resolution

 

[Samemind]

Assassin's God of Titan? It could be pretty fun in theory, depends on how much of the cinematic trailer is BS or representative of gameplay.

 

[fierrotlepou]

I really don't like the look of the main character.

 

[Zaph]

 

[EscapeArtist]

Maybe I can get John Vignocchi to give me Lang's number so I can get more info on this.

 

[TheBear]

Action Game Extinction is a weird title

 

[fierrotlepou]

Action Game Extinction is a weird title

It's truly the extinction of Action Games.

 

[Novel Mike]

and the ones already posted at bigger resolution

Looking at those in a better resolution makes this look completely awful. It's not the art style either its just really poor textures and the hands look... off, to big I think.

 

[ArjanN]

In for Iron Galaxy.

Seems sort of like a Attack on Titan / Orcs Must Die setup, except with maybe more character action type gameplay (given Iron Galaxy's fighting game background)

 

[Raide]

Huh, that would be interesting. AC style traversal, dropping traps and securing defences etc. Would make for a fun co-op game too.

 

[rmanthorp]

The main character, name and monster design all seem generic but I could be so into the gameplay.

 

[Deft Beck]

Looks very, very generic.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Iron Galaxy is great at nailing the core gameplay of their games. I'm sure this here will be no exception.
