Gameplay

During the mission, the player is given objectives to complete - these var from locating a specific point on the map to clearing an area of the angry dinosaurs. The players don't know the location of their objective beforehand, so after choosing their drop point they might have to do a bit of trekking before they reach their destination.

On the way to their objective, the player will encounter all sorts of dino enemies. Due to the mutation process, they've become monstrous versions of their prehistoric counterparts. Larger, more aggressive, and more dangerous - the player will have to use all their skills and a lot of ammo to bring down the mighty T-Rex, among others.

Luckily, the player characters are well-equipped for their task. Each of them is a specialist in different types of weaponry and possesses a unique skill to help them in battle.

With her minigun and ability to call in an airstrike, Rosy is a perfect character to use against bigger threats.
