My Review
Thu Nov 23 2023 POV of meThroughout my childhood, I played this game through 2012, a couple years after when it was released on mobile- I grew up with this tiny dinosaur game along with so many others that made me who I am today…I started playing it again a couple months ago and have actually spent my money just to play this version again- the old version that I loved so dearly and the simple pleasure that I got from doing it was so immense- when I looked at the last update from 4 years ago I became sad, because this game has probably already been long dead- I prayed for many years that it would be revisited again, and updates would start to appear once again out of the blue- but to no avail my love for this little app game is insignificant, to me it is a connection that no other could possibly understand…I want to see this game flourish once again, with new maps- dinosaurs, maybe even some new weapons and animations as well as some newly featured mechanics! I beg that someone will read this and hear my prayer and sympathize with how I feel, and take upon action to improve a once great, addictive, and classic app game…I’m sure that many would feel the same way about this as i do… ^^
Great gameplay
Sun Jul 01 2018 The.Master.GamerI’ve been playing Dinosaur Hunter for practically half of my life now— And I enjoy the idea of it quite well. However, I agree that this game should meet more standards; And be updated more often since it is the only mobile app from the Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter series. Being true that Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn has been a bigger work in progress, including the fact that its graphics are very well improved apart from this mobile version, and Reborn acquires more hunting perks; I feel like it’s although fair to switch your eyes to this app often, updating it regularly every 2-3 months. Okay— First things first— The recent reskinning on some of the dinosaurs, I have to point out that it made me upset. The other skins that came with the certain dinosaurs when they were released in the game were more original; But now it feels like the reskins gave them the common colors that varied through every dinosaur in the game. It’s not only that, but there SHOULD be more dinosaurs, more diverse wether they’re soaring in the sky or lurking in the ocean’s depths. Also, the graphics are fairly good— But can be improved with smoothing and extra key details. I’m not saying that you have to turn this completely into Reborn, but give this mobile game more thought. With more work, I believe this game is only a couple steps away from #1.
In depth review
Mon Jul 26 2021 ART3RCADEI have been playing this game for awhile, and by awhile, I mean AWHILE.
And it’s the best game I have ever encountered! Aside from some flaws that don’t really affect the amazing gameplay. It’s a win for almost everything! If you enjoy hunting games about dinosaurs and are sick of the cheap, rushed, and just stupid apps found across the App Store, this game is for you. The graphics: amazing for the age of the game, even the pc version, with less “stunning” graphics is still a beauty! Gameplay: exactly what people are looking for, (PLEASE NOTE) I believe it is intended for the dinosaurs to be more monstrous than dinosaurs in real life, some people can’t stand the unrealistic theme, but I do. As for the flaws that I should have mentioned before... there are none. Even if there are slight bugs, like the dinosaur statistics being slightly off from the dinosaurs in the game, it doesn’t make the game less fun. Thank you tatem and action forms!
PLEASE READ AND TAKE CONSIDERATION
Fri Apr 03 2020 Purushotam1First off I get why this game is 5 dollars but for 5 dollars you have to meet people expectations. When I bought this I expected a hunt but it was just a lock and load shoot Dino’s and leave. Add a better detection system. I believe you just added a radius that is the detection zone but I think you did it all around rather than on the peripherals. Maybe add a food and thirst bar that you fill up by eating mochops and dimetrodons. Make the Dino’s harder to find but still manageable. Herbivores also defend themselves so maybe you should make them dangerous from tail whips to headbutts. Increase each dinosaur size by 2.5x so it feels more realistic. I get that this is a alien planet but the proportions will seem the same next to the dinosaurs. Also make the guns better! Instead of just having the gun in your back pocket why not have it holstered in your hand. Lastly the best feature you can probably add is Dino’s that kill and eat each other for food! If a carnivore sees a herbivore it will attack and kill. Which ever one is the heaviest will win the fight. Also add pack hunting for velociraptor. Make the allosaurus look like a allosaurus. Also make it so carnivores fight for meals. And make flying bird hunts.
Love Carnivores except for 1 thing.
Mon Jul 23 2018 SmiteMatterI’m pretty sure a T-Rex wasn’t actually invulnerable to fatal wounds but for a piercing shot through an eye. That’s a bit of a stretch and pretty silly limitation. Considering the sniper rifles very limited zoom, poor optics and no ability to calm the shooter down to reduce sway it’s even sillier. If the purpose is to make it an ultimate challenge and prize at least make it a little less ridiculous like say how about a head shot or heart shot as well. I know it’s not impossible to kill a T-Rex now! I’ve done it 3 times, but at considerable effort and several deaths.
That all said, and considering the various mobile devices Carnivores is developed to run on I have no other serious gripes.
The new grass is really nice, and the reskins have added much needed improvements to keep up with more modern iPads. There is room to improve still such as how the dino’s can suddenly change direction in an instant where they should at least have to slow a little bit first before changing direction so dramatically, especially the larger ones.
Keep the updates coming with more realism improvements please.
Simply amazing
Thu Jun 07 2018 Get it if u wantDino hunter is one of my favorite apps on my iPad, I can’t really think of any flaws for this game aside from some of the sizes.
The game has amazing graphics (for its time) and a simple task, to hunt dinosaurs. However the game does have one detail about it that bothers me (no it’s not that half of the Dino’s should have feathers) it’s the scale. While you did a grand job on most of the scaling some of the dinosaurs either feel a bit too big (I.e velociraptor) or way too small (I.e Allosaurus). And granted I haven’t hunted them in a while (especially allosaurus) and you may have fixed the dinosaurs sizes it still really bothers me. Oh and before I’m done with this essay of a review I’d like to say one little thing... the spino and rex feel a few feet shorter than usual.
And that’s it really, hope you guys see this and cya! (I should probably check myself right about now)
False game description
Sat Nov 04 2017 Mow325I still have the disk copy of Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter & remember playing Carnivores II at a friends house. They were the hunting games I grew up with. I have no beef with the game itself, accept that you can’t place down tents like you could in Carnivores II & most of the Dino models are A LOT SMALLER than they were in the original games. And the Laser Gun. OH BOY that was a fun fun to use!
The thing I find misleading about this game is the description. It clearly states that there are currently 22 dinosaurs available to hunt yet on the hunting list there is only 18... this game description has said the same thing over the past 2 years and the last time they made a Dino update was early LAST YEAR!
Don’t say there are this many Dino’s when you don’t have the actual amount you say you have in the game & find that your statement isn’t true... I bought PRO versions for Dinosaur Hunter & Ice Age & though the Animals in Ice Age are lit ASF, the Dinosaur Hunter app does not have 22 Dino’s to hunt but only 18.
A good game, but there’s one problem.
Mon Sep 01 2025 King: The Hunter of BeastsOverall, I enjoy Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter. The variety of dinosaurs is really good, as well as the locations. I also really like the unique setting (an alien planet that’s inhabited by creatures that resemble the prehistoric animals of Earth. The survival mode is also really fun. However, despite all of the praises, I have a very serious question: WHY DID THEY MAKE IT SO THAT THE CREATURES INSTANTLY KILL THE PLAYER WHEN THEY HIT THEM!?!?!?! Yes, you read that right. If ANY of the creatures (even the tiny ones) hit you when they attack you, they instantly kill you. I really wish it was like if the player gets hit 5 or 10 times before they die, not one hit and they’re dead. Carnivores: Ice Age also has this issue, and it makes for some very frustrating moments when playing either game. Overall, I do like the Carnivores games, but I really wish the player did not have a single hit point.
One of the best
Tue Jul 13 2021 AT0M1912This was my favorite childhood game and I came back to it. The graphics still amaze for its time, the simple complex of the game but so much to do makes it simply amazing, the customization of weapons the dinosaurs and the land scapes are amazing, but add in times of the day and the fact that it has an affect on the dinos is just insane. I love this game so so much, in my eyes it’s almost perfect, it’s one flaw is graphics they were good when they came out but today it can’t compete with other games, the nostalgia it brings back is enough to even it out and makes the game so good. I wish the Developers could come back together and completely remake this game with newer graphics more weapons more dinos and more landscapes.
Love this game, but has one big downfall!
Wed Sep 23 2020 HARTS03I love this game and have been playing this since I was a little kid! It has great graphics and cool dinosaurs. However, you have definitely have slowed down on the updates. There are so many new features you could add to this game but you choose to leave the game behind... I have always wanted vehicles, new dinosaurs, a storyline, or maybe even aquatic dinosaurs. But I noticed you have never listened to your fans ideas. Yes, you don’t have to add these features but you could consider them and somehow implement them in a different way.
All I am saying is that this would be the number 1 hunting app if you keep the app relevant to what everyone wants. This hasn’t been updated in one year. I am afraid that this game might be forgotten if no updates come soon.
So developers, please read and consider what I am saying!! Thank you 🙏
