PC Critic Reviews

Dinoblade 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.

When it's not being bogged down by a lack of polish and uneven mechanics, Dinoblade is an exhilarating and absurd experience in the best possible way.

Dinoblade 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.
