Dinocide non-linear platformer launches this week



Dinocide made it’s 8-bit way through Steam Greenlight. The retro-inspired world of Dinocide is a journey to find your partner who has been kidnapped by an evil and mysterious dinosaur god.

In Dinocide, players will not adventure alone, having a variety of tame dinosaurs willing to help. Take advantage of each reptilian friend, acting as a mount, a diverse dinosaur with different traits used to accomplish various tasks, while facing obstacles and creatures. Whether swimming in the sea, flying in the sky or incinerating foes.



Features

  • Dinosaur mounts make you faster, stronger and offer a variety of tactical abilities.
  • Non-linear progression by different routes leads to varied ways to complete your journey.
  • A multitude of different biomes to visit - deserts, jungles, forests, lava caves, oceans, ice plains and more!
  • Weird creatures. Ok, fine, we know about the dinosaurs. But millions of years ago there could be something else we have no idea about. SAS trooper skeletons, for example.
  • Unique time/life mechanic. One bar shared for both the time limit on the level and life of your character.
  • Full controller & Steam Big Picture support.
  • Classic action. Don’t think. Don’t feel. Just go. React. Kill. Jump. Eat. Ride. Like in the good old times! You are not here to watch a movie!
  • The unmatched fun and drive of an 8-bit era game!
Dinocide’s non-linear single players story lets players chart their own path through the large and diverse prehistoric biomes, set between the protagonist and his goal. Complemented by a time and hunger-health mechanic, not only do players choose the location, but also the play-style of completion you wish to harness.

Dinocide is coming to Linux, Mac and Windows PC, available January 21st on Steam.
