History VideoGame / DinoDDay

The Axis has eight playable characters, plus two map exclusive dinosaurs. As the inventors of the cloning process, they have the majority of playable dinosaurs. These include the Stygimoloch, a [[JackOfAllStats fairly average]] quadraped with a back mounted machine gun, the Velociraptor, a [[FragileSpeedster fast but fragile]] predator that can pounce on a victim, leaving seconds for teammates to save them, the Desmatosuchus, a [[MightyGlacier very tanky but slow quadraped with a mounted Anti-Air gun]] (which is [[NonIndicativeName never used on aircraft in game]]), the Dilophosaurus, a fairly tough and fast dinosaur that can knock targets over with a charge and [[ThrowTheMookAtThem throw goats and downed enemies]], the Microraptor, a bird-like dinosaur that can glide, cling to walls, and spit [[InterfaceScrew blinding acid]], and the compy, a small, fast, but very fragile dinosaur with a grenade strapped to it that [[SuicideAttack can be detonated at any time]]. Additionally, Karl Hissman can summon [[SuicideAttack kamikaze pterosaurs]], the T-Rex and Styracosaurus can be played in specific maps, a Mosasaur can be found in a certain map and will kill ANY player that [[TooDumbToLive touches it]], and a Triceratops existed in the since removed single player beta. Many more are referenced in-game and in-lore, but are not seen in-game, such as the Plesiosaur, Deinosuchus, and Dunkleosteus. In addition, the Axis has three human characters, the previously mentioned Karl Hissman, a devoted Nazi sniper, Kurt Streicher, a fairly average soldier [[JackOfAllStats with no special abilities, but few weaknesses]], and Wolfgang Von Graff, TheMedic for humans and dinosaurs alike, but [[CombatMedic far from harmless in his own right]].

The Allies lack the know how to clone dinosaurs as yet, so all but one of their seven team members are humans from various countries. The team includes Jack Hardgrave, TheLeader known to punch Tyrannosaurs to death, Joe Spencer, a quick soldier who can call in an artillery strike, Nigel Blythe, a british soldier who can use the rocket launcher or the flamrthrower, which are excellent for fighting tanky dinosaurs and hard to hit dinosaurs, respectively, Ilona Vike, a latvian sniper who can bait velociraptors with a jackrabbit distraction, leaving them immobile and vulnerable for a few seconds, Camille Brun, a french [[TheMedic medic]] [[CombatMedic with an SMG]],and Jakob Brown, a jewish german defector who uses a heavy machine gun and [[ShortRangeShotgun powerful but innacurate]] flechette gun in combat. Trigger is the sole allied dinosaur, a small Protoceratops rejected by the Germans for a leg deformity. The Allies found him and fitted him with a prosthetic and a mounted machine gun, granting the allies a powerful new ally. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Guess that insistence on "perfection" didn't work out so well for the Nazis.]]

* AnimalsNotToScale: The Styracosaurus is '''big''' as in "I'm a living tank" '''big'''. It's likely that the Nazis bred Styracosauri to be much bigger as Styracosaurus fossils show that they were only 5.9 feet tall, about the hight of a grown man.

** TheBrute: Desmatosuchus and Dilophosaurus bur for different reasons. The former is the team's resident tough gut while the latter is the team's LightningBruiser who's softer than he looks. The T-Rex and Styracosaurus are this when the game mode allows them to be used.

** Getting pounced by a Velociraptor will eventually lead to death, unless the Raptor dies before the pounce is fully executed. Having low health significantly hastens this kind of death.

* {{BFG}}: Jakob Frank has a Browning Automatic Rifle, Cpt. Nigel Blythe has a Projector Infantry Anti-Tank (or [=PIAT=]), Trigger has a .30 cal Machine Gun, the Desmatosuchus has a miniature tank cannon on it's back, and the Styracosaurus has an actual tank turret and gunner on it's back. Unfortunately for the Styracosaurus and her gunner, the battle cannon can only turn in a 180-degree arc but then again that horn isn't for show. Nigel is ultimately the best against the largest Dinos as his [=PIAT=] can dish out the hardest hits without having to run up to a T-Rex or Shield-face

** Two of Ilona's achievements are "[[Film/{{300}} Tonight, you dine in hell!]]" and "[[Film/JurassicPark Clever Girl]]".

* BeastOfBattle: This is why the Nazis clone dinosaurs and they're quite effective.

** If a velociraptor pounces Trigger, their pose mimics the famous one of a Velociraptor and a Protoceratops in battle.

* StupidJetpackHitler: Somehow, Nazi scientists managed to clone dinosaurs of a wide variety of species, when in modern times, in reality, we've yet to manage to clone relatively recently extinct animals like the Wooly Mammoth.

* ThrowTheMookAtThem: As the Dilophosaurus, you can pick up enemies you knock down or the goats scattered around the maps and hurl them at enemies. This can be a very useful option, as it is the only ranged attack the dinosaur has.
* ThrowingTheDistraction: Ilona Vike's special ability is tossing a dead jackrabbit. While pointless against larger dinos the Velociraptor, Compsognathus, and Microraptor will eat it, leaving them vulnerable for 5 seconds. But if they eat it they'll be back to full health so Ilona has to make those shots count!

Unfortunately for the Styracosaurus and her gunner, the battle cannon can only turn in a 180-degree arc but then again that horn isn't for show.

** TheDragon: OLt. Karl Hissman is a scholar, outdoorsman, and fanatical Nazi who serves as the team's sharpshooter.

** TheBrute: Desmatosuchus and Dilophosaurus bur for different reasons. The former is the team's resident tough gut while the latter is the team's LightningBruiser who's softer than he looks. The T-Rex and Styracosaurus are this when the game mod allows them to be used.
** The DarkChick: Velociraptor, Microraptor, and Compsognathus who are all ambush classes that rely on speed and sparts over raw strenght.

** TheLancer: Nigel Blythe-Crossly, a British paleontologist, and anti-tank soldier.

* BFG: Jakob Frank has a Browning Automatic Rilfe, Cpt. Nigel Blythe has a Projector Infantry Anti-Tank (or [=PIAT=]), Trigger has a .30 cal Machine Gun, the Desmatosuchus has a miniature tank cannon on it's back, and the Styracosaurus has an actual tank turret and gunner on it's back.

* BeastOfBattle: This is why the Nazis clone dinosaurs, and they're quite effective.

* PropagandaPiece: Several in-universe examples from both sides appear during loading screens or can be seen on the official website. Perhaps the most bizarre is one which [[InsaneTrollLogic claims drinking goat milk is equivalent to having Hitler over for dinner, because the Nazis feed goats to their carnivorous dinosaurs]]. One can only assume cattle ranchers had a hand in that one.
* ShoutOut: A quote on the website says the Germans initially claimed to be producing [[Film/JurassicPark a park of dinosaurs]].

''[[http://www.dinodday.com Dino D-Day]]'' is a 2011 first person shooter developed by 800 North and Digital Ranch, set in World War II... [[WeirdHistoricalWar more or less]]. There is one minor difference: ThoseWackyNazis [[StupidJetpackHitler cloned]] [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs dinosaurs]]. Training them to [[BeastOfBattle fight the allies]] and [[WeaponizedAnimal equipping them with guns and armor]], the Nazis gain a terrifying new advantage. In this game, you play as either the Allies or the Axis (which despite the name has no Japanese or Italian characters), and can play in several classic first person shooter game modes such as control points, death match, and king of the hill. A cooperative MultiMookMelee game mode, titled "Last Stand", is also available as paid DLC.

* BoringButPractical: Human characters are perhaps the most effective in the hands of a skilled player, but it's hardly as fun to shoot someone like in any old first person shooter compared to mauling them to death as a dinosaur.

* ChristmasEpisode: One map takes place on christmas, and the radio speakers play christmas songs when Santa himself isn't explaining how his sleigh was shot down by the Nazis and he was forced to "[[DeadlyEuphemism permanently remove (some nazis) from the naughty list]]", and [[BadassSanta fight off some dinosaurs]] but took severe injuries fighting them off. Sure enough, you can find his burning sleigh by one of the control points.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: One of the most effective ways to take down a T-Rex is to punch it to death. This is thanks to hardraves unique ability available after scoring three kills in a life, temporarily greatly increasing unarmed damage and damage resistance.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The T-Rex is often this. Although fu. to play once you get a turn, it's not as powerful as you might expect. It has a large health pool, high damage machine guns mounted on the sides of the head, and can eat enemies to regain some health, but a competent allies team can still take you out quite quickly, and players will tend to focus you as a big and important target. And if a Hardgrave player has scored three kills to earn his bonus ability, he can take you out in just a few punches. The Rex will respawn after a while, but it may not be your turn again... But even if it is, you might decide you prefer not to be the biggest target on the server.

* SuicideAttack: The Compy can detonate a grenade at any time, which does more damage for each kill you've made that life, and Pterosaurs are used as an artillery strike. Though one wonders if it's worth using them for that over [[BoringButPractical shells that don't need to grow, be trained, and eat]].

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Goats are scattered throughout the maps. These are mainly meant for Dilophosaurs to throw at enemies, but you can also kill them as any class for your own amusement. This can have some strategic value for the allies by denying them from Dilos, but they respawn fast enough and are so common it rarely matters.
