Is Exoprimal worth it?
Exoprimal is worth it if…
- you want fast, frantic rounds of shooting huge swarms of dinosaurs in a powered suit
- you like team shooters where you can swap roles mid-fight instead of locking in
- you enjoy competing against another squad, sometimes alongside them against a bigger threat
- you want short match-based sessions you can drop in and out of without penalty
- you would rather fight hordes than plan routes, and chaos sounds like a good time

Exosuits for every way of fighting
You pick a suit from three roles. Assault suits deal damage up close, at medium range or from afar, each built around its own effective range. Tank suits draw enemy attacks and soak damage, holding a horde back while your team works. Support suits repair allies and carry buffs and debuffs that push the team to finish objectives faster. The trick is that nothing is fixed: a suit change swaps your exosuit at any moment, even mid-battle, so a team can reshape itself the second an objective changes. You drop your sniper frame and come back swinging in close quarters before the swarm reaches you.
Rigs that bend the rules
Every exosuit takes one rig, a piece of extra equipment that grants an ability the suit does not have on its own. Suits and rigs can both be changed at any time, so experimenting with combinations is part of the game, not a menu chore. Find the pairing that matches how you like to play, then change it when the mission disagrees.
Dino Survival: race against another squad
The core mode, Dino Survival, puts two squads of five against each other and against the dinosaurs. Leviathan, the AI that predicts outbreaks, issues directives, and the first team to finish the mission wins. Some objectives put the squads in direct combat; others force the rivals to team up against a major foe. Missions change as you progress, so even familiar surroundings play out differently each match. Along the way you unlock story sequences and earn experience for your pilot and suits.
Playing together, in and out of the fight
This is a game built around joining a lobby with other people and jumping straight into rounds. You queue up, get matched with whoever is waiting, and fight as a team of five, coordinating roles and calling suit changes as the mission shifts. The co-op goes further than rivalry: some missions have both squads drop their differences and take on one enormous target together, and there are occasional ten-player co-op missions for exactly that. If you would rather avoid direct PvP, you can set your preference toward PvE competition and still play the full game. Sessions are short, match-based and easy to come back to.
What should you know before playing?
Can you play it solo?
Not really. Exoprimal is an online-only, team-based game, and even the story is told through matches you play with others. You can queue alone and the game fills your squad, but there is no offline or single-player campaign. If you are happy joining random teams, that works fine; if you only play solo, this is not the game for it.
Can you play with friends on other platforms?
Matchmaking itself is cross-platform, so you will face and fight alongside players from other systems. Cross-platform parties are the catch: you cannot form a group across platforms, so friends on different stores cannot team up directly. If your group plays on the same platform, you are fine.
Is there a story?
Yes, and more of one than the premise suggests. Playing Dino Survival unlocks story sequences piece by piece, following the 2040 dinosaur crisis and the AI Leviathan that predicts outbreaks. The campaign is told through the multiplayer structure rather than a separate mode, so you get the plot by playing matches, not instead of them.
How do the dinosaurs work?
They come through spacetime vortexes, mutated and more ferocious than their historical selves, in swarms that can number in the hundreds on screen. On top of the regular beasts there are neosaurs: dinosaurs carrying a high concentration of unstable vortex energy, which gives them unusual appearances, abilities and attacks. Treat the neosaurs like elite threats worth prioritizing.
