90s-inspired survival horror game Dinobreak out on Switch next week

Today, Dead Drops Studios announced that it’s about to release Dinobreak on Switch. The game is launching on October 4, 2023.

Dinobreak is a 90s-era survival horror game inspired by the likes of Dino Crisis and Resident Evil. It features “a gripping story, accessible difficulty options, three interchangeable camera views (fixed, third-person, and first-person), optional two player local co-op play, tons of unlockables, and a bonus arcade mode”.

Further details can be found in the following overview:

Step into Lydia’s shoes as you navigate a new crisis threatening the city of Cypress Ridge. While you seek refuge, you can choose to tip-toe by the many dinosaur eggs in your path, or you can hatch ‘em and blast ‘em with an expansive repertoire of weapons! Be careful; you need to carefully manage your ammo and resources to make it out alive! Brawn alone won’t be enough, either, as many puzzles and tricky scenarios impede your escape! You need to act and think on your feet to survive; after enough time has passed, the dinosaur eggs in the area hatch and nature’s most savage beasts are ravenously hungry!

Luckily, you can experience the Dinobreak adventure your way! Freely swap between fixed, third-person, and first-person camera views to best suit your preference! Turn on optional tank controls for a more retro feel! Join the hunt on assisted and easy difficulties if it’s your first time dipping your toes into survival horror, or proceed with confidence on hard and primal difficulties if you’re seeking a deadly challenge. Optional local two player co-op play lets you play the full game with a friend, and unlockable modifiers can give you an advantage with unlimited ammo cheats and more!

Dead Drop Studios co-founder Evan Wolbach said of today’s news: “With Dinobreak, we’re answering the massive fan demand for a spiritual successor to Dino Crisis. We’re thrilled to finally bring the prehistoric survival horror experience into the future, both for fans who yearn for the retro experience, and for newcomers who haven’t yet fallen in love with the tense and exciting gameplay this genre has to offer.”
