Strange worlds full of bizarre creatures are the highlight of today’s Xbox Games Store update.
Developers don’t get much more bizarre than The Behemoth, and the “Full Version” of their turn-based RTS, Pit People, is now available to download for the Xbox One. Available through the Game Preview program since last year, the game’s final update will pit players against “sinister electrobots, deadly vampires, and brutally adorable cupcake people” as they travel across an apocalyptic wonderland.
Compared to a cupcake packing heat, a dinosaur with a gun seems almost normal. But there’s nothing normal about Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. The late 90s shooters have been remastered by Nightdive Studios, and they’re also available to download for the Xbox One beginning today.
You can learn more about the rest of today’s additions to the Xbox Games Store after the break.
