Turok: Evolution is a prequel that takes us back to the origins of the Turok lineage. In the beginning of the game, we see our hero, TalSet, fighting his nemesis Captain Tobias Bruckner in 1886 Texas. During the battle, a rift between their world and the Lost Lands opens and TalSet is sucked into it. TalSet, injured and near death, is nursed back to health by the natives of the River Village, a colony in hiding from the Lost Lands greatest threat: the Lord Tyrannus and his reptilian hordes. TalSet becomes a reluctant participant in the brutal war that is raging in the Lost Land. Bent on a "holy mission" to purify the land through slaughter and misery, Tyrannus appoints a new general to his armies, and TalSet discovers to his horror that it is Bruckner, who was also swept into the Lost Lands through the rift. Turok: Evolution is an epic adventure of treachery, exploration, and war in a land of lush jungles, suspended cities, mysterious temples, reptile armies, and towering dinosaurs.
