DINO MERCS is a roguelike deckbuilding game where you play the role of a veteran member of Dark Solar Defense, a shadowy private military corporation run by dinosaur mercenaries. You've just been assigned a straightforward mission on a newly found planet, but quickly discover that the planet holds a dark secret and multiple forces fighting for control of it. To survive, you will go on operations, engage in fierce combat, and defend your forward operating base from attackers.

FEATURES:

Strategic Deckbuilding: In order to survive and complete your mission, craft multiple decks from a growing collection of cards. Different decks will allow for different strategies and gameplay experiences.
Choose Your Experience: The way you build your deck determines everything. Want a challenge? Or a more laid back run? You get to decide.
Multiple Playable Characters: Try out different cards and ways of playing by playing as one of four unique playable characters, with more to come!
Story-driven Campaign: Dive into an exciting story about a mysterious planet, mercenary dinosaurs, and shadowy corporations.
Infinite Challenge: Want less story and more action? Try infinite mode and see how long you can survive. The more rounds you complete, the higher your score.
