Dino D-Day is a frantic, action-packed multiplayer adventure that transports you to a World War II battlefront unlike any other game. You and your fellow warriors will battle online choosing to fight for either the Allies or the Axis team. The Allied side includes six playable characters each with unique weapons and combat abilities. You’ll have a chance to gun down a Dilophosaur with your trusty M1 Garand; blast a kamikaze Pterosaur out of the sky with your Thompson sub-machine gun; or perforate a charging Tyrannosaurus Rex with hand grenades.
As an Axis player you have your choice of three human classes and three dinosaur classes. You can ambush the Allied enemy using speed and stealth as the Raptor; mercilessly pound them with a heavy 20mm gun fixed to the back of the Desmatosuchus; rampage through tight groups of enemy soldiers as the Dilophosaur; and pick up a dead foe and throw it at an enemy for a double kill! The German soldier classes are the perfect complement to their maniacal dinosaur comrades.
Dino D-Day will be available for download from Steam on Friday April 8th, 2011. It will ship with five maps and three game modes. Developers, 800 North and Digital Ranch, intend to give the Dino D-Day community excellent value for their money by continuing to enhance the game and offer players new maps, new playable characters, and new game modes FOR FREE.
