Game Rant:
Dinocide from AtomicTorch is a throwback to the NES era of gaming in more ways than just its 8-bit style graphics – it also has plenty of archaic, frustrating gameplay.
The NES-era of gaming is remembered for its 8-bit graphics, chiptune music, and blisteringly difficult games. Finding the balance between frustration and fun was the key to success in the days of the NES, and so when a developer attempts to replicate the feel of games from that era, they are faced with the same dilemma. Unfortunately for indie developer AtomicTorch, the retro throwback Dinocide is far more frustrating than it is fun.
Dinocide is an 8-bit themed platformer game that will bring back fond memories to gamers that have enjoyed some NES classics. There are two game modes: the campaign and a speed run. Speed is important no matter which mode you choose because the main character constantly needs to be fed to survive!
Just in time! I've just finished Far Cry: Primal and I need more caveman games now!
COG writes: 2016 is already in full swing and the relentless pace of game releases hasn’t slowed down one bit. February was yet another amazing month in gaming but with every fantastic game there were a few stinkers. Welcome back to our monthly feature where we give you the three best and three worst games of the previous month.
I honestly thought Bombshell was going to be amazing considering the pedigree behind it. What a total let down!
Layers of Fear is hell of scary! I went through a whole pack of adult diapers in one sitting.
I'm so ashamed.
Garden warfare 2 was the best game released last month, the incomplete mess of sf5 should be on the worst list. Maybe when some more content came out
From the review: "Dinocide isn't a bad game but it isn't particularly noteworthy either. It has a couple good idea but the platforming is fairly rudimentary and very derivative. With a few content updates it might become something better, but as it stands Dinocide feels like it's still stuck in early access."
Reminds me of Adventure Island on the NES.
