Extinction

Extinction is a cancelled Xbox and PC game by Rival Interactive. It was to be a adventure strategy game with cavemen and dinosaurs.

Plot
Extinction was to be set in an alternate history where early man and dinosaurs co-existed. The object is to build your tribe, survive, and thrive in the dino-infested world.

Gameplay
There were three tribes to play as, each with their own favoured stat. Each tribe you can play has have their own stats: Strength, Intelligence and Fertility. Defend your tribe from other tribes and the predators!

To improve your tribe you will need better technology. You gain and hone skills by studying objects or manipulating the environment. For instance, study rocks to make stone tools, and study clubs to make tool handles.

Resources to collect are Food, Wood, Bone, and Rope. There were to be four types of cavemen: warrior, hunter, healer, and dinosaur keeper.

To boost your military strength, you'll need superior firepower. Capture dinosaur eggs, hatch then, nurture them, and prepare them for combat. Dinosaurs can also explore the area and help capture other dinos.

Cancellation
Extinction was cancelled when Rival Interactive went defunct in 2005.
