Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Dino Crisis different from other dinosaur games?
Unlike action-focused titles, Dino Crisis emphasizes survival horror elements where resources are scarce, dinosaurs are persistent threats, and the environment itself becomes a puzzle to navigate. The real-time environments and adaptive AI create unique pressure.

Are there different types of dinosaurs to fight?
Yes, you'll encounter Velociraptors, Compsognathus, Pteranodons, and the terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex. Each requires different tactics – raptors hunt in packs while the T-Rex can break through walls.

How important is resource management in the game?
Extremely critical. Every bullet counts, and healing items are limited. You'll often need to choose between fighting or fleeing, and must combine items efficiently to maximize their effects.
