The game's story is engaging but lacks depth and progression, leading players to feel bored once they complete existing quests, particularly after reaching the mysterious green egg. Many users express a desire for more missions, updates, and a clearer narrative direction, as they feel the current content does not fully utilize the game's potential. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the need for additional quests and a more developed storyline is a common request among players.

- “I liked this game very much, although there needs to be more to the main story because it's sort of easy, which is why I think it needs a wee bit more.”
- “I have a mate in your game. When it was mating season, I said, 'Will you be my mate?' and then we had a baby. Now, but our baby died because of being sick. Then me and my mate had bonding together; that's how we have a love story in that game.”
- “And please tell us the story and the purpose raptors travel to places to do missions.”
- “Because I finished all the quests but got bored, so can you please make some more quests? When we finish all the quests, remember that green egg. What are we supposed to do with that green egg?”

- “To be honest, this game deserves better. This game is one of the greatest games I've had in my opinion; it has good playing mechanics, decent multiplayer, and okay graphics.”
- “Gameplay is flimsy and gamepad support needs improving.”
- “Good game but a few problems: 1. What do you do with the green egg? Is that the end? It looks like a mech T-Rex egg, and mech is mechanical basically a robot, and robots are not alive. It says nothing living inside; robots don't live. Poof, it's a mech egg. 2. Add different maps. 3. Add more missions. 4. Baby needs to grow and attack, and the nest eggs should hatch instead of eating them. Otherwise, good game.”
- “I would also like to see more color customizations, more levels, other playable raptor-like dinosaurs, and perhaps more intense gameplay.”
