Our take on Exoplanet: First Contact
Instead of treating combat as the sole route through an action RPG, the game places jobs, dialogue, and social alignment alongside weapons and skills. Its frontier setting also shifts the genre toward resource searches, local cultures, and choices between ruthless and diplomatic roles.
What is Exoplanet: First Contact?
Exoplanet: First Contact is a single-player, third-person action RPG set on a dangerous alien planet where futuristic technology meets Wild West laws.
Players explore an open world, search for weapons, equipment, ore, food, and water, and accept jobs that can shape their path. Combat is one option, while conversation and newly learned skills can influence encounters with enemies, colonists, and natives.
