“Primal Planet是一款生存冒险类的类银游戏。你将扮演一名野人在这个危机四伏的原始时代和自己的家人们寻找适合生存的地方。本作在常规类银的基础上加入了道具系统,我们可以将收集到的物品制作成各种道具来帮助我们战斗或是恢复。地图中的生物们会随机性的刷出,并且还会自由移动,对不同的物种还会进行攻击,就像是一个活得世界。本作整体偏线性,设定非常新颖,地图充满了活力,如果对本作感兴趣的话可以试试。”

Explore the Primeval

Discover diverse biomes, each with unique challenges and secrets. Traverse dense forests, sprawling plains, treacherous mountains, and mysterious ocean depths where danger awaits. Encounter a vast array of dinosaurs, from the majestic Apatosaurus to the terrifying Carnotaurus, each perfectly adapted to its habitat.

Fight and Be Clever
