Developed by Climax Entertainment and published by Sega, Dinosaur King arrived on the Nintendo DS in 2007 as a role-playing game. It blends RPG and board, card & party elements.
It landed about 3 years into the DS's life. Other notable DS releases from 2007 include The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, The World Ends with You and Hotel Dusk: Room 215.
Climax Entertainment also made Steal Princess for the DS.
Dinosaur King is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
- you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
- you are looking for something to play with friends
- you only have a few minutes at a time
What playing Dinosaur King is like
Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.
Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
