How it plays

How does Dino Crisis play?

Players explore the Ibis Island research complex from a third-person perspective. The main objectives are to locate survivors, recover information, restore access to sealed areas, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover the cause of the dinosaur outbreak.

Regina can run, aim, fire weapons, collect items, combine supplies, use medical tools, and interact with doors, computers, and objects. The facility is divided into connected rooms and zones, with progress controlled by key items, security systems, passwords, and story events. Limited ammunition and healing supplies make route planning important.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Dino Crisis?

Conserve ammunition by using doors, corridors, and room layouts to create distance from dinosaurs. When a fight is unavoidable, aim carefully and avoid being trapped against scenery.

Check rooms thoroughly for key items, codes, ammunition, and healing supplies. Save before major encounters and keep enough inventory space for mission items, since backtracking is common and some story events change the safest route.
