Our take on DINO MERCS
Its defining structure is an infinite arcade-style run: deck growth, combat, and escalating challenge continue without a fixed endpoint, while separate missions provide shorter objective-based sessions.
What is DINO MERCS?
Set on Velraterra after fascist forces seize control of its democratic government, DINO MERCS casts players as a veteran employed by Dark Solar Defense, a private company led by dinosaur mercenaries.
Each run combines card-deck construction, field operations, fights against competing mercenary factions, and defense of a forward base under attack. The roster contains three playable characters, over 15 hostile dinosaur mercenaries, and elite Merc Killers. Endless arcade runs let power and opposition rise over time, while separate missions provide shorter sessions built around defined objectives.
