When Iron Galaxy's newest game, Extinction , was announced last year, a number of media outlets started talking about how it was taking inspiration from Team Ico's 2005 masterpiece, Shadow of the Colossus . The question evolved into what the game would emulate about its inspiration.

Since Extinction is currently retailing at a mind-boggling $99.95, the same price as a Triple-A title; somebody, somewhere, is taking the piss.

From its very first moments, Extinction wants you to know that the Ravenii are the real deal. Frighteningly large, each monstrous, muscular ogre is a roaring mishmash of Japanese Kaiju and medieval fantasy.

Attack on tedium

Nice presentation; Gorgeous 2D animated cutscenes

Awkward to fight the giant Ravenii; Extremely repetitive; Camera and controls do not cooperate

None of the official Attack On Titan games have been any good so can this unofficial homage provide a suitable David vs. Goliath battle

The first hour or so is fairly entertaining and the movement system is pretty good

Shallow and extremely repetitive gameplay, with very cheap-looking graphics and presentation; Outrageously expensive for such a flawed experience

Fighting enormous enemies in games has been a time-honored tradition for the whole span of the medium. There's just something so satisfying about taking down someone who's several times bigger than you. It makes you feel like a god, like an actual hero.

Movement controls are fluid; Enemy designs are tactile and varied; Killing Ogres feels great

Combat controls fail at inopportune moments; Story feels stripped down; The camera is somewhat adversarial

What could be more fun than dismembering huge hulking monsters, leading up to a decapitation Extinction is an offering from Iron Galaxy Studios (perhaps best known for their work on the later seasons of Killer Instinct) which is set in a fantasy world where beasts that look like ogres, gargoyles,...

probably one of the worse game i have ever played. Its not even worthy for a basic phone game. Graphics are extremely basic, gameplay is boring and repetitive. Every level is exactly the same as the previous. Rescue civilians chop off giants head...repeat. In one word, this game is stupid.

Big expectation about this game what a let down wasted my money

Deep Story Campaign – Kill thing, try save people. Dynamic Side Missions – All are "kill x things" and "save x people", which you will end up doing anyway. Skill-Based Combat – Nope, run to thing and mash attack.
