    Dino D-Day can be somewhat enjoyable with its asymmetrical Nazi dinosaurs vs Allied soldiers theme. It is imbalanced, hitboxes are off and the game mostly feels like a Counterstrike 1.6 mod. Despite all that it can be fun for a while if you don’t take it seriously. It’s not a good game, but it’s not terrible either, especially if you already have it in your library for some reason.

    The problem is, it’s almost completely dead. You can only find populated servers in certain hours on weekends. In a world, where there are so many great multiplayer shooters, it’s really hard to recommend Dino D-Day. You can basically get Natural Selection 2 for the same price (another asymmetrical shooter with aliens vs marines that is much better and still supported after almost 10 years of its release). Dino D-Day begs for a f2p release for resurrection, unfortunately the devs appear to have abandoned it.    … Expand

    An interesting idea, badly executed. I love the war focused games, dinosaur games too, but this title it's only a bad mod for Half Life.

    The only thing going for it is its gimmick, which gets boring after about an hour or so. If you have a group of friends to play Dino D-Day together, than I'd say I'd recommend it.

    This is a game in which you either shoot Nazis and dinosaurs, or are Nazi and dinosaurs. Truly, a well designed game, that is perfect for playing with friends. Dinosaurs always make a quality game anyway, so you know it'll be good. I'd give it a 10/10, fun for the whole family. Also, Nazis are bad.

    Not a very bad game, fun to play with friends, kind of reminds me the game Primal Carnage, only during the days of Adolf Hitler and WWII or WWI, and the dinosaurs have guns!

    This game is a fun class-based "fps" (many of the Dino's are melee only), the teams are a little unbalanced but they switch every round. The graphics are comparable to Counter-Strike: Source, which isn't always a bad thing. The Micro-raptor and Compsognathus (or Compy) are very difficult to hit as the Allies, which can be very frustrating when you cant hit the thing that is killing you.This game is a fun class-based "fps" (many of the Dino's are melee only), the teams are a little unbalanced but they switch every round.

    Very underrated game, was very glitchy in the beginning but all that has been fixed. This game needs a re-review by the Critics. The latest version is very smooth and worth purchase.

    Forget what all these people are saying bad about this game, they haven't played it since release (when it really WAS terrible.) But now, there are more classes, more maps, and overall is more functional. So if you listen to one of the bad reviews, you are listening to old news. This game is great.

    Um jogo extremamente simples e viciante, além de ser tremendamente barato! Vale a pena comprar. Gráficos agradáveis, jogabilidade fluente e não precisa de meses praticando para se tornar um bom jogador. Excelente FPS que tem dinossauros! Tem como ser mais radical que isso? kkkkk E ainda digo mais, é melhor que Team Fortress 2 e Counter-Strike!

It feels like a classic game with suprisingly as people falsely claim, little bugs. The only bug I have encountered is the server list not appearing straight away and that can be solved with a simple refresh! The only REAL problem with the game is the lack of players due to them being blindly mislead by people who sulk about different gameplay and hated on the game, not to mention since it has average graphics/rough animations, people assume it is a bad game. To be honest the graphics suit the game and i am completley satified with Dino D-Day.… Expand

This game is awesome aside from the fact that the Axis has the best dinosaurs while the Allies is stuck with Trigger the Protoceratops as the only dinosaur.

    Though fun at times, Dino D-day is repetitive, suffers from class balancing issues and is very one sided towards the Axis.

    It's a mod that they want you to pay for. They "Dino's in WWII" gimmick is the only thing this game has going for it. It's an interesting premise, but the game ultimately falls flat on its face. Shallow gameplay, unintuitive controls, unbalanced classes, and a lack of any singleplayer experience make this game not worth your time.

    This game is fun once you get to know the controls. The teams are even and the guns are well balanced. Lots of people play it now since Seananners made videos on it. It is especially fun to those Team Fortress 2 People out there. It is still a fun game that anyone can get addicted to. All those people with negative comments, I say you don't know what you are talking about.

    The melee dinosaurs play a lot like the Aliens do in FPS games. There are 6 classes that play nothing like a human with a gun. There is a good selection of levels, game play modes and classes but it feels a little bare bones. The engine is there, it's working and it's fun to play but after a while you start dreaming about more dinosaurs, more weapons and actually being able to drive some of the vehicles sitting around.

    The bugs have been fixed and the play is actually superior to a lot of bleeding edge mainstream FPS games but it just doesn't have the amount of content. The classes are distinct and interesting but the options for customization are currently limited by the small weapons set.

    There's a good range of strategies and counters and overall things are very balanced. I do feel like the Desmosuchus are a little imbalanced in the saving Santa mission where they can turn the choke points into constant explosion zones with little effort. The Compy has a nice way of encouraging a mix of stealth clawing and explosion suicide but apparently didn't have this elegant system when they were introduced.

    The graphics are a matter of taste. Things look good, it doesn't have the visual Oomph of the latest Battlefield but it certainly provides detail and suspension of disbelief.

    It's well worth it for the current price. I haven't actually been impressed with an FPS in a long time. Looking at the update history this game has a come a long way. My only real complaint is that it could go a lot further by expanding the content and adding a few modern features.    … Expand

    Like Alien vs. Predator but way better and more balanced. The dino abilities are a hoot, but offset by the fact that they need to get in close to use many of them. Learning the game was simple if you've played other fps games. Definitely worth money. Please remember that there's no real story mode that I've been able to find, it's similar to killing floor in that the game is just multilayer mayhem (using bots or other players).    … Expand

    i dont see why everyone is hating on this game. Its very fun imo, and the dinosaur aspect gives it a unique new twist compared to most games. Sure the graphics aren't amazing, but that makes it easy to run on say, a low end laptop. This means more people can enjoy it.

    The premise of Dino D-Day is nice, specially for dinosaur die-hard fans like me; the graphics are fine and the gameplay too, and I really liked the WWII based soundtrack. But... the gameplay is completely unbalanced, and the maps are ill designed. I'd advise you to think twice before buying this.
