Index

Six entries, three phases.

Every plate from the store listing, filed and tagged. Filter by the phase of the game each one belongs to.

The Colosseum 001

The Colosseum

Where squads prove themselves. Field combat comes first, then the arena, then the rankings.

The hatchery 002

The hatchery

Where the roster starts. Hatch a species, then raise it to the weight it needs to be useful.

The roster 003

The roster

Specialists, riders and their upgrades. Recruits who came for the science and stayed for the front line.

Production 004

Production

The buildings that keep everything else supplied. Unglamorous, and load-bearing.

The park 005

The park

Shelters, laboratories and defences, seen from above. Base upgrades are what unlock the rest.

Excavation 006

Excavation

Fossils, the exhibition hall, and the revenue that pays for the rebuild.

Named in the App Store description or visible in its screenshots. The full roster runs past 100.

Questions

Read before installing.

Is it really free?

Yes. The App Store lists it as free to download with optional in-app purchases. There is no paywall in front of the install itself.

Is it just a dinosaur game?

No. The dinosaurs are the setting; the loop is 4X strategy — base building, research, squad growth and alliance competition. Expect timers and upgrades.

How long is a session?

Short check-ins work fine — collect, queue an upgrade, send a squad out. Longer sessions go into events, excavation and alliance work.

Do I have to play with other people?

You can get a long way solo, but alliances carry a large part of the late game and most of the seasonal events.

Which devices does it run on?

The listing asks for iOS 13.0 or later. Check the App Store page for the current requirement before you install.
