AltCharDina HusejnagićJul 20269/10Great combat, awesome boss designs, and a soundtrack that knows exactly when to go from mournful to metal make Dinoblade some of the most fun I've had with a game in a while.

GamingBoltJoelle DanielsJul 20268/10Dinoblade is a short and sweet experience that, while far from an innovative take on the Soulslike genre, does just enough right with its gameplay and over-the-top animations.

Worth PlayingCody MedellinAug 20268/10Dinoblade is a good example of an absurd concept being done right. Once you get past the gimmick of dinosaurs wielding blades, you'll find a Souls-like that sticks closely to the genre's core principles while introducing enough quality-of-life changes to make the experience more approachable for newcomers. The mechanics are solid, the campaign lasts just long enough, and the presentation is good enough considering the game's very small development team. Unless you absolutely hate the genre, Dinoblade is well worth picking up if you want a Souls-like that doesn't require a high double-digit investment of hours.

Game8Third MondigoJul 202670/100Dinoblade is equal parts fun and rough around the edges. There's clearly more work to be done before it can earn its place in the soulslike food chain. But its solid gameplay foundations, borrowed from its contemporaries, prove that this game can stand on its own. With an over-the-top premise centered around dinosaurs wielding greatswords, it's a game that thrives on its meme status, provided you can overlook its technical hiccups and barebones storytelling. For $20, you'll get a surprisingly serviceable soulslike that has plenty of bite and enough personality to avoid extinction in an increasingly crowded genre.
