Our take on Artificial Extinction
The thematic premise receives substantial emphasis, but the playable structure centers on repeated defense around a miner while fuel is collected. The listing gives less attention to how much the areas, attacks, or defensive options vary across the 9-day journey.
What is Artificial Extinction?
Artificial Extinction is a first-person sentry-defense game with real-time strategy elements.
A colonist has 9 days to find a safe location for a family’s future home. Each day begins with a ship drop-off; the ship then remains in orbit while a miner gathers fuel. Hostile AI-controlled drones and tanks approach and probe the defensive setup. The player places sentry weapons around the position to protect the miner and collect enough fuel for extraction. Once the fuel is ready, the ship descends for pickup and the journey continues to another area. Its setting focuses on artificial intelligence, lethal autonomous weapons, robotic warfare, and the risks of combining those technologies.
