    It's no Turok.
    I'mma admit right off the bat that I actually had fun playing this. Perhaps more than I should have. But I get told that a lot. Apparently you're only meant to have a 'little bit of fun' over-waxing the floor at a shopping centre. Normal people falling is fun, but when the kid on crutches does the exact same thing - no more fun. I learn things everyday.
    For example, today    It's no Turok.
    I'mma admit right off the bat that I actually had fun playing this. Perhaps more than I should have. But I get told that a lot. Apparently you're only meant to have a 'little bit of fun' over-waxing the floor at a shopping centre. Normal people falling is fun, but when the kid on crutches does the exact same thing - no more fun. I learn things everyday.
    For example, today when I was looking for this game on Metacritic I learned that it's had several name changes for no good reason. I looked for the game I played titled ORION: Prelude, but couldn't find it until I realised it used to be called ORION: Dino Horde. And that in itself was a rebrand from ORION: Dino Beatdown. You know that guy in 'The Good Place' that went to hell for being too indecisive? Well, Spiral Game Studios is where he got his training. I can only imagine what ORION: New Circle of Hell they're in for when they die.
    So this game released to raving negative reviews. It was more broken than that crutches kid after having a personal introduction to that floor. And while several bugs remain to this day, for the most part this game has since been made a stable experience. Just don't play the Summit map. You shouldn't be playing that anyway. Without the bugs that's still just the worst map. You could say that Summit really peaked in annoying game design.
    i'll see myself out now...
    But yeah, other than Summit turning the skybox and half the models completely black, meaning good luck seeing all those pterodactyls soaring around in the endless void, the game is truly playable. Now I don't wanna excuse a dev team for releasing and selling a broken product only to fix it later because, as we now know, this would become an anti-consumer standard practice in the industry. However, I'll let this slide as it was their first game and they seemed to improve this attitude for their next release before disappearing forever. Yea, it's just hard to be mad at something that doesn't exist. Although my girlfriend would disagree with that statement after I cheated on her with my co-worker. I'm an internet funny man. I don't have a co-worker. But hey, the realm of physicality won't stop me from having an imaginary ORION: Post-Lube Inspection. Apparently.
    Anyway, video game. I only played the survival mode during my time with this game. There are less-than-a-few players still hopping around these servers. That's a real shame, because those strange times when another person from somewhere in the world did decide to load up this strange game 9 years after release and found my lobby were the best times. There are bots that try to help if no one else joins your game. I specifically say 'try to help' because their only use was as ORION: Dino Bait. They won't repair the generator you're defending, they won't use anything other than the basic rifle, and only rarely will they feel the need to pick you up after you've been downed. No, mostly their job description suggests they should run around erratically like a headless chicken until dinos show up and then they plant their feet firmly and take on the horde with their face. They kill a good deal of them before they die though. That's sweet of them.
    This makes a great deal of otherwise optional things an absolute necessity because you are now fulfilling the roles of 5 team members, regardless of which class you pick. Trying to repair the generator will set all the big boss dinos on you immediately, like they're offended by the sounds engineers make. So you won't have a chance to get it back up before the knockback sends you to another map. Unless it's the T-Rex which either chomps you, or if you have the no-chomp upgrade, simply lodges you inside its model where you cannot leave as it slowly nibbles on the salty snack that was your face.
    So with all these problems, why did I say I had fun? 2 reasons mostly.
    Reason number A: I love most of the environments. It's not the most graphically appealing game, or the one with the most detailed worlds. Yet, most of the maps really do look pretty. I'm a sucker for open spaces and over-saturated colours in everything, and this game REALLY scratches that itch. I also love the look of the jagged and interestingly structured mountains.
    Reason number II: Play the assault class and buy the TREK bow. I had so much dumb fun jetpacking around popping off arrows at dinos and watching them fall like Hawkeye in Avengers, except I actually achieve something. Then there's the alternative arrows. If you do manage to get a player in your game do a favour for me, would ya? When they're in a vehicle and least expect it, fly to the top of a mountain a knock out their car with an EMP arrow. The arrows are too small to see and you are way out of sight so they'll never know what happened. And that makes me happy.
    So I did have a lot of dumb fun playing this game. I can't recommend it as a brilliant product, but I can tell you to just do it anyway

    TL;DR at the bottom for those with little time to spare :)

    Objectively speaking, this game is meh, it's a bit of dumb fun with friends that can keep you occupied for maybe 1-2 hours. However, given it's price and how easy it is to play. It's worth a couple of bucks, especially if it's on sale. Make no mistake, this game is not amazing, it's not good. It's passable, but it's so much fun!

    However it's not fully fleshed out and a little repetitive, but to it's credit, it was once a lot worse and the developers did listen to community feedback....until they made their next game.

    TL;DR
    Time waster
    Fun
    Cheap
    Not fully fleshed out
    Repetitive
    Developers listened to feedback, they have the potential to do it again!

    Even if you get it free, do not take it. Counting sand in beach is much more fun than playing this, there is tons of bugs it and very likely they are there to stay. Best way to play it is to hope it crashes right away so you can do something else.

    This game started off really badly in 2012, being one of the worst games to come out that year (the devs even said it themselves), but after 60+ updates and fixes, it has been transformed into a fun game. Plus, it's 99 cents on Steam. Nuff said.

    It's pretty obvious that this game is trying to be exactly like Halo...with uhhh, dinosaurs. They really make it no secret either; the graphics, art style, and gameplay are almost identical in every way possible. The layouts of the maps are also very similar, you drive around in vehicles that bare a striking resemblance to Halo vehicles, and oh yeah, you're in space too.

Yep, that's right, it's dinosaurs in space. Who woulda thought, right? Even the announcer's voice sounds like they tried to replicate the announcer from Halo. Which I suppose isn't a bad thing, Halo is now dead for the PC anyway, and if you're going to steal from a game, Halo is a pretty good one to steal from. Don't believe me? Well pay the dollar to see for yourself!

    Which brings me to my next point, this game only costs a dollar, the price of a cheeseburger. It also works perfectly with a 360 controller, feels like a AAA title from a few years ago, has dinosaurs galore in it, and like I said only costs 99 cents. What more do you want from a game that costs less than a taco? Sure it's got some problems, but they seem pretty minor when you take the price into consideration. Even if you get just a few hours of gameplay out of it, you're still getting a great deal.

    So basically it boils down to the community with this one. As with every other 'online only' shooter, 'Orion: Prelude' will need to rely entirely on it's player base to keep it around, and seeing as how the developers seem dedicated to improving it, along with the low price point, I can see this game only gaining in popularity. All-in-all, if you're looking for something familiar, without having to shell out a lot of money, and are really into first person shooters, then you can't go wrong with this title.    … Expand

    Remember that people put time and effort into producing a game like this, and the fact that they're charging so low causes me to give them even more respect. Overall, I can not say this is a good game, it is very underdeveloped, but it does have content, hence I am giving it a 7/10.    … Expand

    Objectively this game is pretty bad, mainly because of the bad AI and stiff animations, but due to it being co-op, and it's crazy concept & gameplay, it still manages to be loads of fun. The developers still update it, too, and so far every update has added something good.

    I'm not gonna write a fully-fledged review. Just gonna slap some issues, very very very briefly tell you the gameplay and get to the final score.

    ORION: Prelude is still as fun as it was in Dino Horde, however, I've ran into some pretty glaring issues.

    Prelude has too many FPS issues and the graphics don't really look all that different from Dino Horde.
    There are also lots of lobby issues. You can invite people and they say they can't join the lobby, you make your lobby private and it becomes public for some reason and all that stuff.
    I've also ran into some modeling bugs, but I just fiddled with the graphics a bit and they were fixed.

    The gameplay is more or less the same as in Dino Beatdown/Horde, just with less bugs when playing the game. You won't clip through walls or fall over the world, no. But you could see some twitchy dinosaur animations and the occassional dinosaur spazm. Controlling vehicles can be a bit tricky for a first timer (you steer your vehicle with your mouse, excluding the tank and mech). You have 3 classes to choose from - Assault, Support, Recon. Assault has a jetpack, Support has a medi-gun (which heals players (duh)) and Recon has a cloaking ability (which makes her invisible (duh))

    Music-wise - it's decent. Has some great songs to listen to, but they can get boring real fast. I'd suggest getting your own songs. Though the voices of the 3 classes (Assault, Support, Recon) can become quite annoying over time.

    Would I recommend ORION: Prelude to you? Definitely.
    Considering the 0.79€ price tag on Steam, I'd say it's a steal.
    Seriously, compare the only 10.99€ price tag with the new 0.79€ price tag. Wasn't really worth it before, but now I'd say yes.

    Grab some friends too! A 4-pack will cost you 1.99€ only! And no, it's not a discount, it's the real price.

If that hasn't stimulated your taste buds for adventure, don't forget the air vehicles, which cost so much and are destroyed so easily by the pterodactyls that swarm you like you're a naked man covered in pollen in a bee sanctuary.

The weapon mechanics and the special ability system aren't anything special either that would at least add some interest into this game.

    I think the entire community is misleading about this game. It's obviously buggy, the game was released not to long ago. Sure that one little rock isn't a good texture, but if you look at the gameplay it's pretty fun. I think you guys are a little sensitive when it comes to games..

    62 hours in game.

    Firstly this is: Orion: Dino Horde Not: Orion: Dino Beatdown Take a look at the dates of the reviews below, 2012 Bugs: I have only seen a few so far, Clipping under the map when you die and waiting to respawn, Dinos some time glitch though buildings. once an APC got stuck on nothing. Lastly, when the host disconnects, sometimes your game gets stuck in that    62 hours in game.

    Firstly this is: Orion: Dino Horde
    Not: Orion: Dino Beatdown
    Take a look at the dates of the reviews below, 2012

    Bugs: I have only seen a few so far, Clipping under the map when you die and waiting to respawn,
    Dinos some time glitch though buildings.
    once an APC got stuck on nothing.
    Lastly, when the host disconnects, sometimes your game gets stuck in that first screen.
    So a bit irritating, but not as game breaking as people make it out to be, there have been far worse in other major titles recently.

    Graphics: not bad, if you want to compare it to titles of twice or more the price then you are going to be disappointed.
    Though, what they have done so far is very nice, my favourite is the conquest mode, with huge open maps, day night cycles and weather affects that has a huge impact on how you are playing, from heavy rain to snow and cold freezing your visor if you stay out for too long, it keeps you on your toes.
    In other maps, there are lush environment's, so much so that it can make getting that second wind shot a pain because you cant see any Dinos. The Light blinding effect when facing the sun is also quite well done.

    Game play: From fast paced dueling with Ion blades to FFA rocket matches to Dino Survival and more, this game has quite a bit to offer, controlling your avatar is easy and has a few nice moves such as being able to roll and also a melee key then what ever is your class skill, if you get the perks, there are a few more things you can do.
    It does take you a while to level up your class but worth it in some cases, starting off with a better weapon really helps, or more energy or the host of other effects/items (around 50 of them.)
    vehicle control with mouse can be a pain but you can just turn that to your strafe keys in the options.

    All in all, Game could do with a bit more polishing but quite good as is and the critics have made a botch with this one or it needs to be looked at again as things have improved.    … Expand

    In order to save the future you must liberate the past. This is your mission in Orion: Dino Horde. You’ll have three different character classes to choose from as you venture into the prehistoric eras where Tzion reigned supreme. The first class, the Assault class, can take the heavens and descend with lighting like speed upon the lesser creatures below. The second class, support, isIn order to save the future you must liberate the past. This is your mission in Orion: Dino Horde. You’ll have three different character classes to choose from as you venture into the prehistoric eras where Tzion reigned supreme. The first class, the Assault class, can take the heavens and descend with lighting like speed upon the lesser creatures below. The second class, support, is heavily clad in sophisticated armor and can bring aid to his fellow righteous crusaders. The third class, recon, is designed with stealth and sabotage in mind and can sneak past the large and powerful noses of your enemies. There are several game types, each pitting you against the lesser creatures or fellow players. The bulk of the mission requires you to use the good doctor’s technology to reclaim the past so that you may thrive in the future. In order to complete your task of re-writing history and saving your people you must keep a generator alive long enough for it to completely erase the DNA of the lesser creatures. Of course your enemy is sly and mischievous like a rat, and will almost immediately sense your presence. Therefore you will need to band together with your fellow crusaders to fend off the swarms of the lesser creatures. Each wave of your enemy will be even craftier than the last, and you must be vigilant to avoid their treachery. If you can avoid their taint for long enough, your forces then march across their territory in a glorious fashion and claim one of their cities for your own. Once you have accomplished this task you will receive armored and air support to rain down your masterful orchestra of purification. The devilish creatures won’t rest easy though and soon they will send their most powerful mixed breeds against you. If you hold true to the glorious empire, and to your stalwart brothers beside you, then you will emerge victorious and will have cleansed the future of the unclean. Along the way you will be able to steal money from the fallen vermin to upgrade the supplies of our righteous army. Thanks to the good doctor’s extensive experimentation a wide array of weapons and augments will become available to you as you prove your worth as protectors of the progeny. Overall, Orion: Dino Horde is a great game that highlights a pivotal point in human history in which the brave few stood against the impure many and saved civilization as we know it. In addition to the primary game mode, you can also engage in versus matches to ensure you are properly prepared for the great pushes to the east and west. I strongly recommend playing this game, your legacy may depend on it.… Expand

You are fending off smaller dinos packs that you can only see close up through all the torrential rain, and somewhere in the distance you see the light beams of your allies and one of their jeeps as they also try to defend the objective in the darkness. You hear a spine-tingling rumble/grunt nearby. The ground shakes. You look up and with that motion swing your flashlight up at the close-up face of a T-Rex a few feet away from you (way too close).

Looking through this game's history is quite the nightmare, and makes me glad I have nothing to do with Spiral's PR team (if one even exists). I think the most important thing for anyone looking at this game to note is that it is not at all what it used to be. Over the past couple of years this game has been nurtured and cared for with an obvious love and dedication that I don't often see these days from developers. While the original ORION: Dino Beatdown was a buggy mess, Dino Horde has grown out of that messy goo into something I think plenty of people will enjoy for hours on end.

    I recently acquired this game while it was on sale for ~$1.00 thinking I would have a good time playing it with my friends, not expecting a whole lot based on steam reviews and such. My goodness was I pleasantly surprised.

    The first thing that grabbed my attention when I loaded up the game was the depth of the options menu. The sheer amount of UI customization and graphical tweaking available is phenomenal. And they scored major points for me for allowing me to turn off bloom and motion blur. However I will note that I have not yet found a way to change the controller look sensitivity, which is quite the downside if you prefer to play this with a controller, and stands in stark contrast to the quality of the rest of the options menu.

    After tweaking controls and graphics options to my heart’s content, my friend and I jumped into a game of survival. Honestly, this is where I think the game suffers the most. We had absolutely no idea what we were doing, and there is very little help to be found online in the forms of wikis or guides. What we did know, was to follow the on screen prompts to turn on our generator. After we managed that, enough help popped up to lead us back to our base to buy weapons and augments (purchasable buffs that last until you die). With the starting money we grabbed a few SMGs and headed outside to kill us some dinos. Once they finally spawned we started frantically murderizing every giant reptile in sight, and they in turn began chewing on our faces. Seems dinosaurs don't appreciate bullets being hurled at them. We quickly discovered that setting the difficulty to medium for your first go might not be the best idea, and we were promptly turned into dino-chow. So we went back to the lobby, turned the difficulty down to easy and tried again. This time we were able to hold our own against the horde of angry reptiles bent on human consumption. Well, at least until wave 7.

    After we finished playing a few games of survival I found that I craved more, and dino horde was happy to oblige, allowing for an "open world" mode they dubbed conquest. In this game mode you can choose from one of two huge maps to play on. One in the arctic and one in the recently added plains. When you load this mode up you are presented with a vehicle or two for traversing the world, and a couple generators you can head towards. When you go to one of the generators and turn it on, you begin a very similar wave driven experience as survival mode, however, if you manage to last the ten waves and secure that outpost, you are rewarded with a load of cash, and the opportunity to go work on securing another outpost. I will admit that I do not know what happens if you secure more than one outpost (I saw three, but didn't have the time to play 30+ rounds).

    The biggest thing that stands out to me about this game is the fact that the more I play it, the more I discover about it and enjoy it. I have only played two of the twelve (yes, twelve) game modes and already I feel that this game is worth the money they are asking for it. Admittedly it has its share of issues such as no FoV slider, a lack of pertinent help documentation (took us forever to find out how to get more ammo) and a slightly overwhelming number of game modes that have no description. However, even with these things in mind, nothing beats the thrill of fighting a horde of raptors, a t-rex, a stegosaurus, two triceratops, and a deinosuchus all at once in the middle of a rainy night while trying to capture an outpost. I felt like a kid again, and there are so few games these days that give me that thrill and excitement. Definitely give this game a try.    … Expand

I have found next to zero glitches, and the only glitch I HAVE found was being slammed into a rock by a T-Rex, and depositing me and my 2 buddies INSIDE the rock. This was easily fixed by using the Teleporter (Item that can be selected by '5') and teleporting back to base, only delaying us for 2 minutes, max.

    When I started the game, and started off in a Survival match, solo, I found literally nothing wrong. I grabbed a shotgun, and ran over to protect the generator. First wave? No flying dinosaurs, no bad physics. In fact, I could say that this is one of the better-detailed games. I have yet to find a game like this one with graphics and models as good as this one.

    Now I do have to agree that there are a few flaws and quirks. For example, I have to agree that it does seem a bit Halo-ish in the vehicle department. The Gladiator Buggy, the VTOL and the tank all share some kind of aspect to the Halo vehicles. While I have to say they are similar, it may be nothing more than inspiration. While the Gladiator Buggy is very similar to the Warthog, it's different in several ways too. The Warthog was longer, and narrower, with an anti-air heavy MG in the back, while the Gladiator has a windowless driver/passenger area, with a more squarish shape, and an energy chaingun. If you were to put the vehicles in basic shapes, and make the Warthog more compressed, and the Gladiator narrower, then yes, they bare a large resemblance.

    However, I have seen review after review hating on Orion: Dino Horde where the entire theme is: IT SUCKS. If this is true, then why is it that I got on, and found that the developers' descriptions were nothing but true. It had great gameplay, great graphics, great models, great game mechanics, etc.

    So if it sucks for you, then I don't know what's wrong with your computer, because I don't have the best computer, and it's running fine for me.    … Expand

    Let me make one point clear : ever since the 93% off sale,people have gotten to experience the game again and if you check all the new user reviews are quite good, I think they should calculate again it's meta score, right now it is a completely different game from what it was 2 years ago.

    The game I feel is underrated and it's developers have been keeping to their promises and are still developing it with community ideas with support from people. This game is unique and better than most 60.00$ games I have bought and have been disappointed in and let down. This is only my opinion, judge however you feel about it.

    The Game has a interesting Setting, but also many bugs. The graphic looks very nice, but animations and effects (like blood, explosions etc.) are very bad. It is definitely not a game for graphic-freaks, but it makes a lot of fun. Its a nice game for a easygoing round of team-fps, but nothing more.

    I absolutely regret my decision.

    And that's saying that this game honestly isn't even worth the one single dollar I gave its developers. There isn't a better example of "good graphics do not make a game" than this. If you're trying to convince me that it's still in alpha/beta/whatever, this game has gone through MULTIPLE revisions, all the way from 2010. For the price of a "fun multiplayer co-op experience" you get randomly being kicked out of games and intense, horrific lag. This is NOT Halo x Turok x Call of Duty. It doesn't even come close to being 1/10th as good as any of them, let alone all of them at once.

    Don't believe any of that "reviewers are now willing to give it a second-chance". Not one single profession review site has changed their minds, regardless of whether it's a beatdown or a horde and neither will they even when it becomes a prelude, I'll bet.

    Orion: Dino Horde has guns. And it has dinosaurs. And it has vehicles. And it has jetpacks. But it does NONE of that well. Character animations are a joke and look like they were from the quake era. Just stand still for a moment and observe your other team members. Hell, just press F1 and observe yourself. The wimpiest pistol whip I ever did saw. Crappy run cycles and stiff upper body animation. Don't get me started on those taunt animations. On paper you'd think I'm nit-picking but just try it yourself and you'll start to feel sick all over. And then there are the dinosaurs. Wonky animation covered with hilarious levels of motion-blur. Speaking about the dinos, they don't bite either. They just come up to you and sort of nudge or nuzzle you to death.

    I stood around for 3 minutes within starting my first ever match and decided to mute the constantly looping 20 second this-is-gonna-get-epic background music. And honestly I felt better after doing so. And the unreal tournament wannabe announcer doesn't help either.

    Game mechanics taken from various other AAA titles and cobbled together into an amalgamation of stupid. I'll give you an example. Paying 2,500 of your hard earned credits so that the game will bind your jet-pack button to spacebar. Perks ripped from other titles without even taking game balance into consideration. No indication of whether or not your shots hit the enemy, which would have been very helpful given the amazing amount of lag present in multiplayer games.

    All in all it's an entire mess of ugly blanketed ironically by surprisingly good graphics. And that's what would lead you into buying this crap in the first place. In this day and age you'd think that no game that looks this good could be that bad, and you'd be wrong. Dead wrong. When you do start this game up, you'll likely be awed by the pretty textures for about the first few minutes, and then slowly every single thing that's wrong with this game will come flying at you like bricks.

    No one in their sane mind who has even played more than a single game out there would rate this a 10. I'd give it 5 at the very most, and that's if I'm feeling extremely damn generous. Don't be fooled by fake scores. Don't support trash developers who "strive to fulfill their dream" by releasing a crap game that's at least 3 more years away from being publicly ready. If your game is still in alpha/beta then you damn well label it as such. If there is to be even any hope of this game breaking a 3/10 they had better do some outsourcing. I'd start with the disgusting animations(or lack of, rather) first.

    I want you to say this "Space Marines fighting dinos". The statement is awesome, but the game is so full of problems it just does not work. but I would like to start off on this site by being systematic so let us begin.
    There will be six categories: looks, plot, coding, pricing, support, ect:

    looks: none to really speak of. It is so bland and normal it feels more like the original halo game than a game of 2014. I know they did not have the worlds largest budget, but in the same breadth you could at least try to make it seem pleasing to look at.

    plot: none. Can not really kill it over this, but at the same time I would like at least a little story. like why are we hunting dino's or where are we. oh well

    coding: oh god no. There were so few things in this that seemed thought out. The bugs alone are rampant but let us talk about the logic of solo player. 1. the class system no longer works. The idea of classes is so that you can do several tasks, but that is useless when you are alone. 2. they literally made some enemies so hard to hit that you can not even aim at them. 3. The starting weapon is next to useless. I can here someone now, "well isn't that the point" it would be except to get a new weapon in solo player you must leave your defensible point, take a thirty second run to your base spend 20 seconds buying a gun, run back in another thirty seconds to watch the raptors tear apart your generator before being swarmed. So no the upgrade system is problematic too.

    Pricing: on Steam the games price runs normally for 15$. I did not buy the game (thank goodness) but still the price is absolutely unforgivable for what you are given. The game feels unfinished and to top it off along with buying the game you must buy customizable options. No this is not forgivable. You release and unfinished game and expect us to spend more on it.

    support: online support to be exact. I would love to write here how well the online portions seem balanced and fair, except to get onto a multi-player game is a nightmare. I was randomly assigned joined a server with a AFK host. waited 5 minutes I left and found i could not join a different server. I then had to shut the game off and decided to reboot my PC. so 3 minutes later I went back on to try again and was placed in the same server with the same useless host. I typed a quick message to the waiter warning them and tried to join a different server but again it would not allow me into any. so I just left.

    ect: I know there have been promises of DLC or patches or other such things, but so what. I want to buy a game that mostly works. not a game that i have to buy to work the bugs out. mostly this was advertized as a finished game. I get the idea of pre-order or early access, but that means i can give adequate feed back and the game is mostly done. Patches are supposed to work out balancing issues and minor glitches not rewire a game.

    overall this game is a good concept and useable, I have no doubt if you got a few friend together and played it would be enjoyable. but so little about it works i can not get any enjoyment out of it. It has potential, but it just is so unfinished that I feel it should be scrapped and remade, but due to the sour taste in my mouth I will never try it.    … Expand

    Anyone can play it, but unless you love survival and wholesale slaughter, this will not be enjoyable for you. The controls are familiar, the graphics are not the best available, but for a small Dev team on a limited budget, there is not a thing wrong with them. You have to know going in when you pay $15 bucks for a game, it isn't going to look or feel like Halo or COD.

    This game throws in a new curve, adding vehicles to the mix, which sets it apart from other games of the "Kill'em all" genre. I've only played a little solo as of this posting, but in a day or two I'll be teaming up with 2-3 others, and I see hours of fun trying class combinations, testing all the weapons, and the fantastic augment system is better than a talent tree.

    I've also seen a lot of reviews that are over a year old stating the poor quality of this game, however that is simply not true. Updates and bug-fixes have been an ongoing process, and as of this posting, the game plays flawlessly. All in all, I hope to see more from this developer in the future. My standard rule of gaming is "An hour of play for every dollar spent, minimum." This game qualifies easily, as long as you have a friend or two to bring along for the ride. Can it get repetitive at times? Certainly, its a wave-based survival game, there isn't much to it. But honestly, it's no different than the horde of FPS multi-player games flooding the market right now. COD and Halo got boring fast, because the game never really changes. Only the players do. The entire point of a game like this is to see how badass you can be, and to rub your friend's face in it. In a friendly competitive way, of course.    … Expand

    I dont know why people complain about this game, i think it is very enjoyable, fun to play with friends,and the bugs that people seem to complain about(example:cant connect servers/lobbys, vehicles like Vtols crash around, dinosaurs pop to outposts,walk trough walls and other that kind of lies. I havent met any of these so said "real bugs" in the game. I can connect the game lobbys when iI dont know why people complain about this game, i think it is very enjoyable, fun to play with friends,and the bugs that people seem to complain about(example:cant connect servers/lobbys, vehicles like Vtols crash around, dinosaurs pop to outposts,walk trough walls and other that kind of lies. I havent met any of these so said "real bugs" in the game. I can connect the game lobbys when i want, the game has crashed only 2 times for me, the dinosaurs are not phasing trough the walls, VTOLS and other vehicles work like they should. The complaining about the sounds aint true, atleast i dont have them, weapons sound just like they should( except the Revolver, but it might have intergrated silencer like WW2 STEN had). Buy this game for real, you can enjoy it, or hate it doesnt make my life different.… Expand

    I give this a 10 because this game is one of the few dinosaur survival games. Turok was like this but with more story and less multiplayer. This game deserves a higher metascore because the game has bugs yes but Spiral Fixes these problems very quickly. The game has RPG element, a FPS element, Character progression, and survival, Also adding to this the old games that weren't even gamesI give this a 10 because this game is one of the few dinosaur survival games.

The game is indie now and has a HUGE fan-base. The game is Awesome and I recommend you get this game right away.… Expand

    This is hands down the worst FPS I have ever played. It's a wonder that games like this are even allowed on Steam in the first place. The rebranding and pleading with potential customers on the forums is a sad attempt at reviving this unpolished turd.

    I've seen the developer on the Steam forums telling people the meta score is wrong. The saddest thing I have ever seen on Steam.
    SOOOOOOOOOOO VERY BAD!

    It may be fun if we play with friends for a few hours… but it may be not. There are many games fighting in the FPS genre, and it's very hard to find something worth highlighting in this one.

    While Orion: Dino Horde has potential, it will certainly fall short of even modest expectations. If it weren't for there already being quite the track record of bad Jurassic games, I'd suggest that fighting dinosaurs has never been so dull. A shame, since it's evident that the developers put a lot of time into it... it's just too bad they didn't focus on making it fun.

    Perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised that ORION: Dino Horde was such a disappointment. The gaming industry has been rife with rumors about scurrilous behaviour concerning a very similar title, Dino Beatdown. ORION: Dino Horde's rough edges suggest that it has been quickly brought to market and cynically shoveled out to gamers in the vain hope that its over the top premise will bring in a few bucks.
