![]() ![]() In short bursts of play, Dinocide offers a nostalgia-inducing moment of fun, but ultimately it offers limited appeal in the long-term. USAGE: Dinocide, the first dinotefuran insecticide developed for trunk injection. It’s certainly too challenging for younger players, and it’s far too simple to offer any long-lasting replay appeal for most. I don’t mind having to navigate on a track, but the extremely aggressive timer gives the game a rushed feel that is completely contradictory to the throwback titles it attempts to emulate.ĭinocide is still a challenging, unique, and often enjoyable game that is easily accessible from the Steam Store, but I’m not sure who, exactly, this game is targetted towards. ![]() The side-scrolling visual style is nice, but the player is on a finite timer (10-12 seconds to find food or death) which makes me immediately feel rushed. Dinocide tries to capture the drive and fun of that era and recreate it. I feel that this opportunity has perhaps been missed, though. pop off the screen and more than a dozen high-definition background videos. Nostalgia is great, and it can be an incredible tool for introducing a skeptical audience to a new or unique concept. Unfortunately, this is where the magic kind of dies down for me. Dinocide is a classic NES inspired old-school single-player platformer in a prehistoric fantasy world. ![]() But doing so would be a shame since I found that once I actually sat down and played through the first couple of levels, I found the environments extremely refreshing, and artistically diverse enough to keep me interested in advancing to the next stage. The one thing I will say is that the graphics can be a little off-putting at first, which perhaps make this an easy title to simply glance over and ignore. Your love interest is kidnapped by a dinosaur god (because why the hell not?), and you have to travel through a diverse and challenging 8-bit prehistoric world to rescue your love. In a world that is becoming increasingly complex, it’s refreshing to return to the primitive (see what I did there?) fundamentals that made the genre such a breakaway success to begin with.ĭinocide puts players in the middle of the action from the very beginning. ![]()
