DINO MERCS

This is a really cool roguelike based on deck-building. The dev is working hard to offer a great game and he listens actively to the community, sometime even ditching a full feature from the gave based on feedback (I'm looking at you, base defense). The dev has also added some really nice and useful QoL features recently which make the game more enjoyable. On top of that, there are dinos everywhere so you can't not love the game. :D

I don't like card games, but I love dinosaurs, and I love the idea of dinosaurs with guns, so I got this game. This is a good game. There is a best character (Battery, the Triceratops), and there is a best way to play (get your aim stat over 90 and find ways to lower your enemy's stats). Still, it's a great way to relax my brain without using too many of my computer's resources. The biggest thing I'd like to see is the ability to unlock enemy dinos to play as. I'd love to BE the Styracosaur with the Springfield Helion or the Protoceratops with the Walther PPK. I am also trying to solo-dev a game about dinosaurs with guns, and I am impressed with this one. Additionally, the Cryolophosaurus is done brilliantly. Pros: Dinosaurs with guns! "Bountiful Cheeseburger" is a thing you can say when talking about this game. RNG makes each game different. You may not find the cards you want in a run. Ever. Cons: Minor bugs. The Dinosaurs Are Wrong! Well...this is sort of the whole basis of the game. Um...cards.

Could see both the gameplay and the story being too simple for a lot of people, but the way that everything works together is amazing imo, it's really selling the sci-fi dinosaur war A couple of major mechanics never functioned during my 10 hours of playing. But there weren't any frame rate issues or lag, and I'm not seeing other people report many bugs, so this might just be a problem with my specific laptop. And even with those mechanics being broken for me, I ended up being being invested in this game for 10 hours, so I'm not complaining

A very fun and unique take on the roguelite deckbuilding genre! You not only decide what cards of your deck to prioritise, you also decide what your enemy will do, so you're not just strategising to maximise your effectiveness, but also to minimise theirs. Plus, dinosaurs with guns. Nuff said.

Next to no animation, low quality music (and only one track at that), and the game has no mechanics that incorporate the "dino" aspect in any meaningful way.
