Well, it's a genuinely novel variation on the WWII shooter theme, I'll say that much for it. Not sure I'm entirely keen on the subtext behind setting up an alternate history where the Nazis are winning and then describing it as "World War 2 as it should have been", but maybe I'm overthinking it.The year is 1942. Adolf Hitler has succeeded in resurrecting dinosaurs. The reptilian horde has trampled Europe and the Mediterranean. Can nothing stop the Nazi’s dinosaur army?
Dino D-Day is a frantic, action-packed multiplayer game that transports you to a World War II that should have been. You and your friends can battle online choosing to serve the cause of the Allied nations or the Nazis. The Allied side includes six playable characters each with unique weapons and abilities to use in combat. Gun down a Dilophosaur with your trusty M1 Garand, blast a kamikaze pterosaur out of the sky with your Thompson sub-machine gun, or toss out a dead jackrabbit to lure a raptor into a trap.
As an Axis player you will have your choice of three human classes and three dinosaur classes. Ambush your enemy with speed and stealth as the Raptor, mercilessly pound the enemy with a heavy 20mm gun as the Desmatosuchus, rampage through enemy groups as the Dilophosaur or pick up a body and throw it at an enemy for a double kill! Or if you prefer a rifle in your hand, the German soldier classes are the perfect complement to their dinosaur comrades.
You’ve played World War II games before…but have you played a World War II game with dinosaurs?

No, I am not making this up.
There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.

I dont think its actuallu possible to underthink a game based on the line 'WW2 with Nazi Dinosaurs'.
Its really an idea that you switch your brain off for and just go 'Cool'

My guess is that when they say "that should have been," they mean WITH FUCKING DINOSAURS, FUCK YEAH.Zaune wrote:Well, it's a genuinely novel variation on the WWII shooter theme, I'll say that much for it.

They aren't advocating the Holocaust, they're saying that everything is a shitload cooler with murderous dinosaurs.

Re: Dino D-Day (yes, it's really called that)
This game has been in development since.... forever.
All they have to show for is trailers.
EDIT:
I hope it actually gets released on time. I had pretty much given up on this as a vaporware project.

I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

According to steam it is available on April 8th so they won't be able to delay it any longer.
