You can play
this game here, but I do not recommend it at all. I don’t even know why I
played it honestly.
There’s not
much to talk about graphics wise, there’s two generic outdoor maps. One with
grass and one with snow. The game randomly alternates between the two.
Your gun has
infinite range and infinite ammo. Aiming is ridiculously easy, if you see a
dinosaur in the distance, just move your cursor over it until your reticle
zooms in, then click the left mouse button.
There are
four upgrades available, but only three of them are useful. The camouflage
upgrade is a joke. I’ve upgraded it twice, and it just doesn’t work. You are
best off just upgrading your speed, gun damage, and your rate of fire instead.
The game
only has four dinosaurs to hunt; Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, and
Diplodocus. The models look fine for a free game, but there’s one problem. The dinosaurs
aren’t animated. They just float around the map like ghosts. When they die they
just fall headfirst and clip into the ground.
The AI is a
joke, I’m not even sure if I should call it AI. If a dinosaur is near you, or
near a dinosaur that got shot, it will head straight for you, no matter what.
This becomes a massive problem in the later levels and makes the game extremely
boring in the early levels. They only make noise when they kill you, not when
moving. I’ve been jump-scared by dinosaurs in this game several times.
The first
few levels are fine, boring, but beatable. By level 8 or so, the game turns into
an unfair mess. Despite the maps being a decent size, the game always spawns
you close to your targets. The dinosaurs are also clustered together, and will
gang up you, no matter what type of dinosaur they are.
When you
spawn, you have about five seconds to shoot the five or so dinosaurs charging
towards you. As you can’t hear them, you have no idea where they are coming from.
If they are coming from multiple directions, you are pretty much dead. If you
upgraded enough, you might be able to run around and dodge a few, but even that
doesn’t work sometimes.
The Velociraptors
and Tyrannosaurs move so fast that you won’t even know what hit you, and while
the Velociraptors become 1-hit kills if you upgrade gun damage, the Tyrannosaurs
still take multiple hits to kill no matter how high you upgrade.
Let me give
you an example. You spawn, and there are five raptors, a Stegosaurus, and three
Tyrannosaurs near you. All of them rush towards you in different directions.
The Tyrannosaurs are the biggest threat, but if you try to kill one, the other
dinosaurs will get you. If you try shooting the raptors, the Tyrannosaurs or
the Stegosaurus will get you. You can’t shoot the Stegosaurus because of the
carnivores that are about to kill you. If you try to back away, you’ll back
into one of the dinosaurs.
It’s a Morton’s
Fork, everything you do ends in miserable failure. Most of the levels are luck
based, you just have to hope you only spawn near a few dinosaurs, or that they
all come in one direction. Upgrading only helps you so much.
Also, do
the dinosaurs have some sort of treaty? Why do the herbivores care if I shoot a
Velociraptor? Why do the dinosaurs all ignore each other and go straight for
me? It’s nonsensical.
I’ve made
it to level 37, and I’m giving up there. I’m just getting mobbed within seconds
of spawning. I honestly should have given up twenty levels earlier, but I’m
stubborn. I’d call this game so bad it’s good, but I can’t because of how
unplayable the later levels are.
This is one
of the worst games I’ve ever played.
