Questions
Read before installing.
Is it really free?
Yes. The App Store lists it as free to download with optional in-app purchases. There is no paywall in front of the install itself.
Is it just a dinosaur game?
No. The dinosaurs are the setting; the loop is 4X strategy — base building, research, squad growth and alliance competition. Expect timers and upgrades.
How long is a session?
Short check-ins work fine — collect, queue an upgrade, send a squad out. Longer sessions go into events, excavation and alliance work.
Do I have to play with other people?
You can get a long way solo, but alliances carry a large part of the late game and most of the seasonal events.
Which devices does it run on?
The listing asks for iOS 13.0 or later. Check the App Store page for the current requirement before you install.
