This is a review of version 1.05
This game is silly fun...
- Lots of variety of dinosaurs and well drawn.
- Interesting specials to buy with experience points, like the mamoth riders and elder teachers.
But...
- The game play is straight forward get more guys than the other guy and rush him. Not a whole lot of depth to strategy or tactics, even with the specials you can get.
- It suffers from lock up crashes.
- Once you lose a statue, it can put you so behind economically in terms of area to hunt and gather from, come backs are rare.
- Dinosaurs, especially raptors, can lock you into perma death.
- Little variety in map other than a "skin change", no urgeny to change in tactics, let alone strategy.
- The notion that is this in any way a survival sim of being a tribe of caveman is misleading.
Overall, fun but repetitive and shallow. I don't think this is actually worth $10, sorry to say, I have played free flash games better than this in terms of replay value and I wouldn't recommend it to friends because they are going to get pretty much the full value of this title from the demo. I was disappointed in the end.
