Dino Storm is a Web Game by Splitscreen Studios.
The game is set in an alternate Old West where people ride dinosaurs and use laser guns. Yeah, it's that kind of world.
- Domesticated Dinosaurs: Dinosaurs are treated in game like livestock and horses.
- Not just dinosaurs. The local equivalent of cattle is the extinct brontothere Megacerops.
- Energy Weapon: Every single gun in the game.
- Fragile Speedster: Coelophysis, the starter dinosaur.
- Glass Cannon: Carnotaurus. A level 6 Carno has less health than a level 8 Coelophysis, despite Coelo being far smaller! Further stat development may change this, however.
- Herbivores Are Friendly: Not always so. Among these hostile herbis are Alpha Parasaurolophus, Powerful Centrosaurus, and Violent Brontops (Megacerops). All of them will attack you on sight.
- Hub Level: The town of Dinoville serves this role, as it contains all of the game's important merchants and, initially, offered the missions whose rewards were needed to improve all of your dinosaurs and equipment.
- Jack of All Stats: Parasaurolophus.
- Mighty Glacier: None other than Brachiosaurus, though Ankylosaurus and Centrosaurus also fill this role.
- New Old West: The setting.
- Spikes of Villainy: Played Straight AND Subverted at the same time: high level hostile dinosaurs are covered in spikes, but so are high level ones ridden by the player.
- Sadly, Ankylosaurus, the first new dinosaur since the original lineup, only gains more armor. There's still a way to tell how strong an Ankylo is, at least.
- Thirsty Desert: One of the areas in game, Goldfields, is this. It's where most of the local gold mines and cattle ranches are located.
- 20 Bear Asses: Some quests require you to gather and deliver items, be it meat or messager's bags.
- Item Crafting: The Triforge, located in Dinoville, allows you to shove three (hence the "Tri") cosmetic items and money into it, and get a new item in return. People have shared their combos and successes with the Triforge, as it's a vital way of making your Ranger and dinosaur look the way you want.
