What exactly is an extraction shooter? First time I heard that term was with the forever Winter game. I don't know if I've ever played one.

Sorry for my ignorance but I just don't buy games as much as I used to.
They are normally a PVP game where you are thrown into a map with other people. You run around looking for money or gear, if you die you lose the stuff you looted. If you make it out, you profit.

This game is similar in that you'll go into a map (pve only) where the goal is find the portal out while killing stuff, finding chests, do events. Doing that will earn you temp perks while in the map and currency to use back at the base to lvl up, research gear/spells and upgrade it all.

Okay that's what I thought it might be, like that tarkov game or whatever. I just never played one. I just named people were calling this and extraction shooter, but there wasn't any PVP so that's where I was going to confused.

I think it's more of a looter shooter type deal like remnant or even destiny.

Thanks though.

It looks like a modern day version of Hexen to me.

I've been waiting for this to come out of Epic exclusive, and bought it on Steam release. I've put about 12 hours into it, and I am level 31 or so, Gnosis 2 (think difficulty level you have to purchase and achieve).

I've researched all the guns, and have been levelling them. Haven't even killed the Familiar (first boss) on the second map.

It is fun. Looks cool. Decent mechanics. Gunplay feels good. I think $47 leaf dollars is too expensive, but I will get my money's worth out of it. I am not much for PvP anymore, so this scratches my extraction shooter itch without having to worry about the sweaty opposition.

Really big update dropped, I hope this means they are getting closer to v1.0, haha. Great game for sure, but being in EQ for this long kinda kills the hype for the eventual release.

splattercat seems to think the games come a long way.

You play as an agent of the Vatican sent to kill a witch? And they added a Rosary in this update?

I'm in.

It has great bones and getting better, the latest map is vastly different from the first one, run down city it looks like. I was worried they were all gonna be outdoor variants like rocky coast, forest etc.
