Dino D-Day on Steam is an action-packed, multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) game that merges the historical setting of World War II with a fantastical twist: the inclusion of dinosaurs. Here’s a detailed description:
Overview
Genre: Action, Indie, Multiplayer, FPS
Developer: 800 North, Digital Ranch
Publisher: 800 North, Digital Ranch
Release Date: April 8, 2011
Gameplay and Features
Historical Setting with a Twist: Set in an alternate history 1942 where Adolf Hitler has successfully resurrected dinosaurs, players fight in a WWII environment now overrun with various species of dinosaurs. This game blends WWII combat with the chaos of dinosaur encounters, creating a unique gameplay experience.
Multiplayer Focus: Dino D-Day is primarily a multiplayer game where players can choose to fight on either the Allied or Axis side. The gameplay involves team-based objectives, similar to other FPS games but with the added challenge of dealing with dinosaur troops.
Character Classes:
Allies: Feature seven playable human characters, each with unique weapons and abilities. For instance, players can use characters like Trigger, a rescued Protoceratops, or engage with traditional WWII weaponry like the M1 Garand or Thompson sub-machine gun.
Axis: Players have the option of three human soldier classes and six dinosaur classes. Dinosaurs include Velociraptor, Dilophosaur, Desmatosuchus, Stygimoloch, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Styracosaur. Dinosaur abilities range from speed and stealth attacks to sheer power and body throwing for double kills.
Weapons and Abilities: The game includes 26 classic WWII weapons alongside dinosaur-specific capabilities. Human players can shoot or use environmental traps while dinosaurs leverage their natural abilities, like ambushing with speed or using brute force.
Maps and Game Modes: Dino D-Day offers a variety of maps set in different WWII-era locations like Europe and the Mediterranean. The gameplay includes modes where teams compete to complete objectives while managing the threat from dinosaur units.
Graphical and Technical Details: The game uses the Source engine, known for powering games like Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2, ensuring a familiar feel for players accustomed to this engine’s dynamics. However, reviews have noted that while the concept is fun, the execution might feel dated or “barebones” due to the game’s age and less polished aspects compared to modern titles.
Updates and Community: Over the years, the game has received updates, including new maps, modes, and playable dinosaur classes like the T-Rex in later patches. The community aspect has been mixed, with some players enjoying the unique premise but others pointing out a small player base and repetitive gameplay.
DLC – Last Stand (Sold Separately): There’s also a notable DLC called “Last Stand,” introducing a survival-style game mode where players fight through waves of dinosaurs, earning gold to purchase upgrades and special abilities, culminating in a battle against a particularly notorious dinosaur, “The Red Baron.”
Reception
User Reviews: The game has generally positive reviews on Steam, with players appreciating the novelty of the concept, though some critique the simplicity of gameplay mechanics and the sparse player base.
Community Engagement: Players have shared guides, achievements, and discussions, suggesting a dedicated, albeit niche, fanbase.
Conclusion
Dino D-Day offers a humorous and chaotic take on WWII FPS games with its dinosaur integration. It might not appeal to everyone due to its dated graphics and gameplay mechanics, but for those looking for something different or fans of WWII shooters with a twist, it presents a fun, albeit quirky, multiplayer experience.
