Mesozoic Dawn is a new game full of dinosaurs. Made by NEXTINDIE, it’s a multiplayer online dinosaur survival simulation. Yes, and it’s where you live through the miracle of life instead of simply surviving match after match.
You don’t begin as an unstoppable apex predator in Mesozoic Dawn
You start out as a tiny, vulnerable juvenile or larva. You then spend your early life searching for food while trying hard not to become someone else’s lunch. Your dinosaur grows across generations through the game’s egg-laying evolution.
The formula in Mesozoic Dawn is Growth + Nesting/ Egg Laying = Evolution. Eat nutrient-rich food, survive long enough to reproduce, and you’ll eventually unlock stronger prehistoric species. You also have an AI companion and offspring system.
The game links together your digestive system or stomach, lungs, and heart, so they’re constantly affecting each other. Hunger, thirst, stress, or injury can directly damage those organs and make them work less efficiently. On top of that, temperature, humidity, oxygen, and energy are all connected, too.
Mesozoic Dawn uses a low-poly art style and includes over 70 prehistoric creatures spread across the sea, land, and air. Every species has its own survival instincts, and marine creatures and land predators are built around different temperature zone adaptations.
Combat includes skill buffs, attack penetration, defense resilience, and a locational or body part damage system. Different body parts have their own damage multipliers and defensive bonuses. There’s also True Damage, which ignores armour completely, drains health, and inflicts trauma.
The world isn’t empty outside of players either. Neutral and hostile AI herds roam around with different behaviours. And during certain seasons, you’ll see massive migrations that can be both incredibly dangerous and full of opportunities if you manage to survive them.
Mesozoic Dawn sounds like an incredible game to me. If you liked it, too, you can grab it from the Google Play Store.
