Honestly, who comes to a game called Dino D-Day intent on playing as a human character anyway? This might be the only context on earth where choosing the Axis over the Allies is the right thing to do.Īfter picking between the team that has dinosaurs and the team that doesn’t, players can choose one of several characters that each have their own firearms and abilities.

Players can join the Axis or Allied forces as a human or dinosaur soldier, but the Axis has way more dinos and is therefore way more fun to play. That notion drives everything from the game’s visuals to its writing to its gameplay it is described by developers 800 North and Digital Ranch as their take on “the overdone World War II FPS… that has become a running joke in the industry and the gaming press.” Funny, World War II being overdone is what we discussed in yesterday’s review of Day of Defeat: Source.ĭino D-Day is an entirely multiplayer title that takes team-based World War II shooting and turns it on its head with the introduction of Nazi dinosaurs. Take Dino D-Day, for instance, a game that, well… just look at the title.Įver think about what would happen if Hitler brought back the dinosaurs and put them into his army? Dino D-Day does. Is there any supernatural or sci-fi entity that the Nazis haven ‘t co-opted for World War II? Hitler bolstering the Third Reich with everything from an army of zombies to a base on the moon to robot spiders has become its own sub-genre in today’s media. Video games haven’t been far behind in appropriating Nazi doomsday plots, taking to that same campy ridiculousness with as much gusto as their film and television counterparts.

Hitler has created an army of Nazi dinosaurs… because of course he has.
