    • “The graphics are absolutely beautiful, as the dinosaurs have perfect animation.”

    • “The graphics don't hold up and I'm not particularly good at it, hell I don't even play often, but it's got that charm.”

    99 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over excessive ads and intrusive microtransactions that detract from the overall experience.

    • “Would easily pay $5 for a premium version with the old system brought back and with no ads.”
    • “The monetization actively makes the game worse.”
    • “This game is such a cash grab and not enjoyable anymore.”
    • “Played this game on iOS years ago and loved it, recently downloaded it again to see if there was any good new content only to find it now riddled with invasive and annoying ads and an inflated pricing system that forces you to use microtransactions.”
  • gameplay
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the gameplay is generally well-received, with many players praising its fun mechanics, variety, and nostalgic elements. However, some users express frustration with issues like locked items, microtransactions, and a lack of updates, which detract from the experience. While the gameplay remains solid, there are calls for improvements such as additional controls and better monetization practices.

    • “This game is friggin awesome and has almost no flaws in gameplay.”
    • “Decent enough graphics, fun gameplay, nice environment, enough variety to not get too repetitive and overall a great way to pass time.”
    • “Best dinosaur hunter game of all time... the best... great sound design... great gameplay... and love the dinosaurs.”
    • “So the gameplay is fine and I paid 5 dollars to have double credit value for kills permanently enacted, however for some reason after unlocking certain items (this has happened multiple times now) they will become locked again randomly with no warning.”
    • “This game used to be really impressive for the time, it's just a shame that it has fallen to the modern trends of mobile gaming - pointless and expensive microtransactions, constant adverts playing and limiting gameplay elements like resupplies and relocations to currency.”
    • “Great game, very difficult to earn cash; the ammo cost mechanic is so annoying it makes you earn even less money as a beginner, please remove it.”
  • grinding
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game. While some appreciate the nostalgic grind reminiscent of the original, many find it excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring significant real-money investment to progress. The overall sentiment suggests that while grinding can be rewarding, it often detracts from the enjoyment due to its repetitive nature and the challenges posed by the game's difficulty and currency system.

    • “To call it a 'grinding fest' would be a massive understatement; it feels almost impossible to advance without an unreasonable time commitment or significant real-money investment.”
    • “Grinding points for weapons, new hunting locations, etc. has become nothing short of a chore, and I'm disappointed in that.”
    • “The only thing that gets in my way is that the game is super grindy once you get around Allosaurus level, and it's taken me hours just to make some progress whilst using the pistol to preserve my money, and I really wish that the dinosaurs would give more credits per hunt.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a desire for a more engaging story in the game, suggesting the addition of missions, lore, and interactive elements like scattered notes to enhance the narrative experience. While some appreciate the graphics and gameplay, many find the current story lacking and feel that a structured story mode could significantly improve the overall experience. Overall, there is a strong call for more depth and creativity in the storytelling aspect.

    • “Something that is better, from gameplay to story.”
    • “Good game but can you fix the behavior of the dinosaur and can you make a story mode about this planet.”
    • “Low graphics, good storyline.”
    • “Good graphics, but very very boring gameplay and story.”
    • “Not that fun, it's boring. There's nothing to do. Maybe just make it more interesting, maybe some sort of story mode where notes are scattered around the island you can read and put in your backpack. That would be cool.”
    • “There's no story.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game primarily through the awkward designs and amusing sounds of the dinosaurs, particularly those of chasmosaurus and allosaurus. While some users note that the gameplay can become repetitive, the overall comedic elements contribute positively to their enjoyment.

    • “The design of Allosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Ankylosaurus is very awkward, and some sounds are very funny.”
    • “The sounds of dinosaurs like Chasmosaurus and Allosaurus are very funny; I liked the game.”
    • “It's hard and gets boring, but it is very cool and funny! (•‿•)”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While some users report smooth performance on devices like the S21 Ultra, many experience significant stability issues, including frequent crashes and screen freezes during gameplay.

    • “Runs great on my S21 Ultra, and the pricing is pretty fair for a free-to-play game.”
    • “As soon as the little skylift comes to pick up the trophy, the game freezes and crashes.”
    • “The screen also freezes after a few seconds of gameplay.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its immersive detail and sound, creating an engaging environment. Players express a desire for future installments to enhance this atmosphere further with improved weaponry, dinosaur selection, and AI elements.

    • “The game has a nice atmosphere to it.”
    • “If they ever made a new Carnivores game, with good weapon and dinosaur selection, NPC dinosaurs, insects, good AI, and great atmospheric, immersive detail and sound, I'd play the heck out of it.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the game's high replayability, particularly due to the diverse environments for hunting, such as snowy landscapes and tropical settings. The potential for simultaneous hunting of dinosaurs and ice age mammals further enhances this aspect, making it an infinitely engaging experience. Additionally, there is a strong desire for mobile controller support to improve gameplay.

    • “Being able to hunt dinosaurs in the snow and mammals in the tropics would be great for replay value, perhaps even the ability to hunt dinosaurs and Ice Age mammals at the same time too.”
    • “This is an infinitely replayable game; please, with cherries on top, add controller support for mobile.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game is well-optimized, running smoothly even on lower-end devices like Android phones. However, players have noted a need for better graphic options, as current settings primarily enhance performance without significantly improving visual quality.

    • “It works really well even on my Android phone with performance issues.”
    • “I love the game, best concept for an FPS hunting game, but we need a little bit of graphic improvement; the graphics options really don't do anything except improve performance.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a strong desire for more music in the game, emphasizing its importance to the overall experience, particularly in enhancing the hunting atmosphere. While the graphics and gameplay are praised, the lack of a diverse soundtrack is noted as a missed opportunity.
