As far back as anyone can remember, humanity has been at war with itself. For generations, kingdoms have fought amongst themselves while the real threat loomed in the distance. Legend calls them the Ravenii, encroaching armies of bloodthirsty monsters standing 150 feet tall that once threatened to destroy humankind. Now the threat has returned, and only those trained in the ways of the ancient order stand a chance at defeating the ogres. You are one of the world’s last Sentinels, a soldier named Avil equipped with the skills to battle the endless wave of Ravenii. Fight massive brutes and their minions across a sprawling countryside, defending cities and rescuing refugees torn from their homes. Swiftly define your strategy as hordes attack from the ground and air. Use the dynamic skill-based combat system to your advantage, tactically disarming and dismembering enemies to go in for the kill. This is no longer a war. It is an annihilation. And you are all that stands between humanity…and extinction.
About the story

You are one of the world’s last defenders, a warrior named Avil equipped with the skill, speed and strength to oppose the endless wave of Ravenii and prevent a fate worse than death: Extinction.

Critic Reviews
TeamSmores
By Ryan Kennedythis is a good looking game with decent gameplay, but just way overpriced. If this game was $15-$20 not nearly as many people would be complaining about it. You can look past the repetitive gameplay or lack of content at that price, but at a full AAA game price, it will be judged at a different level. I'm not even saying avoid this game, but just don't spend too much money on it. If you can get it for less than $20, then that's a pretty good deal.
Impulsegamer
By James ColesPerhaps this review seems a little harsh but please bear in mind that Extinction is a terrible game that is retailing close to one hundred dollars. That is, without question, day-light robbery. This mess isn't even worth close to half of that, in fact, I wouldn't even recommend playing it for free. Sure, there are worse games out there, but how anyone in good conscience could greenlight Extinction's release at the price of a Triple-A game is insulting.
Digital Chumps
By Peter TaylorThere is so much potential in Extinction but it's all wasted. It's such a shame to see a game with some seriously fun ideas turn into something that is such a drudgery to play.
Digiato
By Arash ParsapourExtinction could be an entertaining experience, but only for the first couple of hours. after that, everything becomes awfully repetitive and the fact that you have to pay 60 bucks for such a mess is enough reason to stay away from it.
CGMagazine
By Lane MartinWhile Extinction is technically a game, I'm pretty sure it's an April Fool's prank gone too far.
