Our take on Turok
The game focuses on exploration and weapon combat, leaving less room for quieter, non-combat progression. Its large 3D environments also place more emphasis on navigation than on a tightly directed sequence of encounters.
What is Turok?
Turok is an action adventure set in the Lost Land, a conflict-ridden world outside normal time.
The game combines exploration, combat, traps, and puzzles in a fully 3D environment where players can run, jump, climb, and aim weapons independently in different directions. The campaign follows Turok as he searches for eight pieces of the Chronoscepter before The Campaigner uses the artifact to rule the universe. The arsenal contains 14 weapons, including grenade, plasma, rocket, and alien weapons. This restored version adds high-resolution and widescreen support, revised level design, dynamic lighting effects, customizable keyboard, mouse, and gamepad controls, and Steam Achievements.
