Bikitoa Island is supposed to be housing mysteries alongside the answers to said mysteries, but we never experience one scene of it. The Hammerhead crew spends the entire campaign sitting in the ship tossing out poorly written jokes or going offscreen to conveniently discover a hidden clue to progress the story’s next puzzle. The first handful of cutscenes are horribly paced, filled with cheap dialogue, and set the expectation level low for what to expect moving forward.
The quest to break the wargame cycle, find out what caused the first dino outbreak, and learn Leviathan’s endgame is the basis of Exoprimal’s narrative.įrom the beginning, the storyline of Exoprimal doesn’t take itself seriously and doesn’t expect the player to either. Upon reaching the island, Ace is transported back in time to 2040 to forcibly compete in a series of “wargames” against hordes of dinosaurs. While performing a standard patrol mission, the crew is forced to crash land on the mysterious and conveniently placed island of Bikitoa.
Our character, Ace, is newly recruited and regarded as the best pilot ever produced. Exopilots harness the power and abilities of advanced Exosuits to counteract the dinosaur’s mass numbers and strength.Īt this point, we meet our rag tag group of protagonists, the Hammerheads. During those three years, the megacorporation Aibus used its technology and command of elite fighters known as Exopilots to fight back and repel each impending vortex. Three years have passed since a cataclysmic event occurred in which purple vortexes summoned legions of dinosaurs around the world. So what exactly is Exoprimal? Exoprimal picks up in the year 2043.
After completing Exoprimal’s roughly 20-hour campaign and sinking a generous amount of time into each pilot, I’ve concluded this game wasn’t ready to launch and isn’t worth the full price tag. Being a lifelong fan of dinosaurs and connoisseur of the hero shooter genre, this game, on paper, possesses qualities of a fun and refreshing entry into the 2023 landscape. With the announcement of Exoprimal, I was immediately intrigued by the chaotic concept of dinosaurs flowing from the sky like waterfalls. Capcom has been firing on all cylinders off the recent successes of Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil 2 Remake.
