In this prequel to the previous Turok titles, you play as Tal’Set, the savior of the natives of River Village in the Lost Lands, who must confront Lord Tyrannus, the leader of the reptilian hordes. The “Holy Mission” of Tyrannus is to purify the Lost Land through carnage and misery.
During the 1886 Texas battle with your adversary Captain Tobias Bruckner, you were injured and dragged into the Lost Lands. After regaining your health in the village, you learn that Tyrannus has appointed a new general to his armies: Bruckner. Therefore, you begin the conflict in a land of dense jungles, floating cities, enigmatic temples, reptilian armies, and towering dinosaurs.
You can also command your troops to take shelter, establish strategic positions, and surrender.
