About this game
DinoGenics puts you in charge of a private island resort built entirely around one very bad idea, cloning dinosaurs for profit. Each season you send agents to the mainland competing for DNA and resources, then race home to build fences, facilities and habitats before the creatures you just spliced together decide those fences were optional. Prestige, not just size, draws visitors, so a park of a few spectacular dinosaurs can beat a sprawling but neglected one, and cutting corners on containment tends to end in exactly the chaos you would expect. Heavy, thinky and thematically spot-on, it rewards players who enjoy building an engine that might occasionally eat someone.
