Gameplay

From a first-person perspective, you fight your way through sprawling areas, search for keys and open the way to further sections. Enemies attack from different directions, take cover or retreat. Alongside precise shooting, exploring winding paths and finding important places again are essential.

35 different enemies

35 enemy types populate the world. These include raptors, Flesh Eaters and other mutated creatures. Enemies react to hits on different parts of the body and can take cover in combat, attack in groups or flee. Especially dangerous foes call for a different choice of weapon than smaller enemies.

Quick Warp and improved movement

The new edition lets you jump straight to portals you have already visited with Quick Warp. Turok can move faster and pull itself up over ledges. Saving and loading is possible at any time. These changes mainly make it easier to return to areas you have already explored.
