Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

Game overview

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is a third-person shooter developed for PC. Players control a character from an over-the-shoulder viewpoint but can switch to a first-person perspective at any time. The game features an array of mechanized suits known as Vital Suits (VSs), which can be used to travel and carry heavy weaponry such as chainguns and rocket launchers. Players engage in combat either on foot or within these VSs, requiring them to manage thermal energy to use certain functions and weapons.

Combat and weapons

In the game, players can pick up weapons found on the ground and use them in conjunction with the heavy weaponry available within Vital Suits. On foot, players can employ a grappling hook to navigate the environment, reaching otherwise inaccessible areas or hijacking VSs. Thermal energy is a significant gameplay element since it depletes due to the game’s cold environment. To replenish thermal energy, players must defeat enemies or activate data posts.
