Dinocide Review | Game Rant

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.
