Some game ideas are good… and then some are just instantly sold the moment you hear them.
Dinolords is one of those.
Medieval warfare… mixed with dinosaurs… in a strategy game where you can literally fight alongside your army? Yeah, this is already screaming Steam wishlist immediately.
What Dinolords Actually Is
Dinolords is a hybrid game that blends real-time strategy, city-building, and action RPG combat into one experience (Steam Store)
You’re not just commanding from above like a typical RTS. You’re in the fight.
You’ll:
- Build and manage a medieval stronghold
- Gather resources and grow your settlement
- Command armies of soldiers and dinosaurs
- Fight directly as your lord using abilities and weapons
- Defend against invading forces in a completely reimagined medieval world (Steam Store)
It’s basically RTS… but way more hands-on and chaotic.
Why This Game Looks So Good
Let’s be honest, the concept alone is already carrying this game hard.
But what makes it even better is how it actually plays.
- You control your character with WASD inside an RTS, which is not something you see often (Steam Store)
- Dinosaurs aren’t just units, they’re part of resource gathering, combat, and strategy (PC Gamer)
- The game mixes macro strategy with direct action combat, so you’re never just sitting back watching
And somehow… it actually works.
Early impressions say it’s not just a gimmick either, the systems behind it are surprisingly solid and creative (PC Gamer)
Personal Take (This Is 100% My Kind of Game)
This is one of those games where you don’t even need to overthink it.
You had me at:
- RTS
- Dinosaurs
- Medieval battles
That combo is just ridiculous in the best way possible.
The idea of running around your own base, helping build it, then jumping straight into battle on a dinosaur… it just feels like pure fun. It’s got that “kid imagination turned into a real game” energy, and those are usually the ones that end up being insanely addictive.
Also, this has strong “I’ll just play for an hour” energy… which definitely turns into 4 hours without realizing it.
Small Gameplay Tip
When you get access, try to balance your time between base building and combat early on. Since you’re directly involved in both, ignoring one side can quickly snowball into problems.
Think like a commander… but fight like a frontline unit.
Closing Thoughts
Dinolords feels like one of those games that just stands out immediately.
It’s different, it’s creative, and it’s not afraid to be a bit crazy with its concept. And honestly, that’s exactly what makes it exciting.
This is definitely one of those games that’s going straight onto the Steam wishlist.
No hesitation.
