About this game Read the full description

Meet Mack Ripley! He’s got short arms, a big heart, and dreams of being something… more.

New Dino City is the heart of saurian civilization; a bustling metropolis filled with dinosaurs large and small. Creatures of all species live together in peace… or they did until something began upsetting the natural order. Now, thrown into a strange situation filled with weird science and even stranger events, it’s up to Mack Ripley to unravel the mystery and save the world from extinction.

Not Your Average ‘Saur Anymore

Mack Ripley was just a guy living his life, wishing he could be something special. Thanks to a freak encounter of the science kind, Mack has been transformed. If you’ve never seen a dinosaur with otherworldly powers, get ready to be amazed as Mack chomps, spits, and devours his foes.

Strange Powers: You Can Gnaw Your Own Way

With each new skill, you’ll be able to unlock new ways to customize your playstyle. Whether you prefer to get up close and personal with those nasty critters, hang back and deal with them at a distance, or mix it up, you can make Mack your very own.

New Dino City: Enjoy the Bright Lights and Dangerous Underbelly

New Dino City has as many stories as it does dinos. Meet strange allies, twisted villains, and altered creatures as you uncover a diabolical mystery. How are all of the strange happenings connected? That’s for you to discover, but move quickly or else it may be lights out for the big city.

It’s Not Parkour, It’s ParkSaur: Getting Around New Dino City

Tall buildings, dark alleys, and some water that looks a little… off. New Dino City has it all!

Traverse a world of densely interconnected skyscrapers, darkened alleys, and strange locales as you dive deeper into the weird happenings in the City. But be careful, there are threats around every corner just waiting to be discovered.

Myth or Fact? New Dino City has Alligators in the Sewers

What’s caused the peaceful critters of New Dino City to begin terrorizing the population? You’ll need to use all of Mack’s abilities, create clever combinations, and push yourself to the limit to overcome challenging foes and terrifying bosses.
