None of this is a deal-breaker though Dinocide is easy to pick up and play once you get past the generic premise and rather stark mechanics. This means fairly flat-looking environments and sprites with minimal animation, and the bad kind of rudimentary chiptunes-the kind that cycle too often and get on your nerves. The visuals and sound feel like they’ve been ripped right out of a late-era NES game, or maybe a middling Genesis side-scroller. Dinocide’s heart is in the right place but the execution leaves something to be desired.įrom the get-go this is clearly an homage to those early 90s platformers.
Dinocide has some decent ideas but it feels like an early beta or even alpha build for something that never quite got finished. This game feels like a cocktail napkin idea sketched out during a heavy buzz-good enough to be interesting but without a meaningful or memorable follow-through. So it is with Dinocide, a prehistoric platformer from Atomic Torch Studios. So it goes today some are great, some are awful and a lot are just floating in the middle somewhere.
#STEAM DINOCIDE SOFTWARE#
Unfortunately like the 90s, this surge of software runs the gamut for every Mario World and Earthworm Jim there were a dozen Bubsy the cat and mediocre X-Men spinoffs. From mind-bending puzzlers like The Swapper and Typoman to clever ideas like Adventures of Pip, this genre is seeing a full-blown renaissance. A Clinton is vying for the Democratic nomination, gas is under two dollars a gallon and 2D platformers are all the rage-it’s feeling awfully 90s in here.
