Carnivores began in 1998. 25 years later, its Legacy continues...
This as a Carnivores mode is perfect, as a stand alone game it's fantastic. If you haven't played this mod (a Carnivores fan or not) you're seriously missing out!
Incredible.
Genuinely incredible.
I have been following the Carnivores modding scene since 2007; I have lived through the major advancements in modding from the first custom animal from JenDOS to the speed patches and through the countless community dramas, and I have to say that Carnivores Legacy is the pinnacle of Carnivores modding.
Legacy is how my younger self imagined the Dinosaur Planet of FMM UV-32 was; an untouched world ruled by antediluvian beasts, although you will be trudging through the mud and thicket, you are one of the first humans to tackle these living monsters.
It stands with the important Triassic for the many same reasons; its craft and range of surprises, its dedication and thought, and I am hopeful that Legacy will have the same influence on what a mod should be for the Carnivores modding community in the next few years as Triassic did. Perhaps Legacy is building its legacy in the Carnivores community.
I hope to see more mods like this in the near future.
This mod is quite literally an upgraded version of the base game. With upgrades from Carnivores 2 and a beautiful trophy room, this mod is a must have if you want to replay the first Carnivores game without the main problems the original had.
Alright, my big comment with reaction!)
Played the game for several hours. And I will say that I am completely delighted! I'm not afraid to say - it's even BETTER than Carnivores 2. This mod has surpassed the original game itself. Usually in the original I just had fun, but here there is so much variety and interaction, a bunch of DIFFERENT dinosaurs - it's just gorgeous! I downloaded version 1.10 and you know, it's very exciting. In the first game I was attacked by a carnotaurus, and in the 4th game I was walking, I discovered a bridge over the river and walking next to it... A Tyrannosaurus Rex! And I only had a shotgun with me. I didn't expect such an unexpected surprise!)
I didn’t see the attacking Moschipop, but I saw everything, especially plesiosaurs, sea creatures, crocodiles and other themes. While I was walking I found the corpse of a mosasaurus on the beach in the north, which surprised me with my find))
I also can’t help but admire the fact that they made additional equipment and that the settings were prepared just what was needed. It is very convenient and comfortable to hunt for long walks while playing the game on an external drive))
The only thing I would add are more weapons, maps (preferably BIGGER ones so that more dinosaurs are present) and adjust the X-bow sight. I’m used to the fact that the top sight in the original game always hits the target, but here in this mod you have to think logically about how to shoot correctly. It's unusual to shoot into the blind spots of other dinosaurs, but in my opinion it improves the gameplay itself
And oh, in addition to dinosaurs, it would be cool to add additional options for the game. I mean, we have camouflage, radar and so on... What if we add, I don’t know, a special suit for protection from attack or immersion in water (otherwise why is there a hunter’s health scale when we swim?), where with the help used a special harpoon to kill a mosasaurus or creepy scorpions from a dark lake, were surprised by the beauty of the water world, and so on? Or also when we find an abandoned camp, where there were once hunters like us. We approach the box and receive replenishable stocks of weapons in order to continue the hunt.
I know there is a game mod for underwater hunting, BUT! In any mod, no matter Triassic or Far North, these additional equipment do not appear anywhere. The game is old, but based on how fashion has progressed and this Legacy masterpiece, we can only hope that these new items will come!
10/10!
I wanted to give it a 9 out of 10 due to the lack of equipment options, but I decided to ignore this point, since this game is new to me and I’m having incredible fun.
P.S. I'm looking forward to the author making the same Legacy with the Ice Age part. I love the icy wastelands, the cold harsh world, the wind buzzing in my ears and ancient mammoths wandering through the snowy mountains. And add unusual creatures and sea creatures, impassable dangerous swamps and ice volcanoes
This is the best mod i have ever played
This mod is genuinely so atmospheric, it brought me back to when I first played the game. Very beautiful and you can tell the modders really put their sweat into this to make a high-quality mod like this. I don't even think I could call this a mod ngl. Great job.
Best carnivores mod ever
This could have been made by the ActionForms developers themselves. Awesome work!
If a critique is of any help, legacy is a perfect mod from an art design pov but it could have taken engine limitations into more consideration. This mod is such a huge flex but sometimes poorly optimized. This hurts gameplay because when you try to make a tricky shot on a dinosaur, just zooming in with the sniper causes performance drops. I can tell the devs tried to work with the limitations of the engine by balancing the gameplay. However, more work could have been done in this departement. The average carnivores player might not have a really good pc, part of the reason why we play old games in the first place.
