FEROCIOUS: A Dinosaur-Infested FPS Awaits Playtesters – Dino Crisis Alternative?
Are you yearning for a thrilling dinosaur adventure in the gaming world? While fans eagerly await a Dino Crisis revival, a new contender is stepping into the arena: FEROCIOUS.
Developer OMYOG and publisher tinyBuild have announced that sign-ups for the open playtest of their dinosaur-themed first-person shooter, FEROCIOUS, are now available on Steam. This is a chance for gamers to dive headfirst into a world where mercenaries and dinosaurs clash on a dangerous, uncharted island. According to OMYOG, this playtest is aiming to include everyone who requests access, unlike the previous small group of players. The playtest will feature access to the game's first level, 'Crevasse'.
What Awaits Players in FEROCIOUS?
FEROCIOUS promises an immersive survival FPS experience. Players will wake up stranded on a hostile island, where they'll face not only mercenaries and dinosaurs but also a vibrant yet deadly ecosystem. The game emphasizes exploration, adaptation, and strategic utilization of the environment to survive intense, fast-paced encounters.
Key Features Highlighted by the Developers:
- Intense FPS Combat: Engage in relentless battles against mercenaries, dinosaurs, and mechas.
- Dynamic Adaptation: Craft weapons and gear from the environment to suit your playstyle.
- Strategic Survival: Uncover hidden paths, secrets, and essential gear to gain an edge.
- Dinosaur Domination?: Control dinosaurs to attack enemies, open paths, or infiltrate guarded areas—a unique twist on the survival formula.
Gameplay and Potential
Early glimpses of FEROCIOUS showcase a blend of Far Cry-esque open-world exploration with the prehistoric thrills of Jurassic Park. In one observed clip, the player character is even seen petting a velociraptor.
While a Dino Crisis-style remake remains elusive for many, FEROCIOUS might just scratch that dinosaur-shaped itch. Its unique blend of survival, FPS action, and a bit of dinosaur charm could be the refreshing take on the genre that fans have been waiting for.
