Dino D-Day is a multiplayer team-based first-person action video game, developed as a total conversion modification on the Valve Corporation's proprietary Source engine. The game was released on 8 April 2011.[1] The game is set in 1942 during World War II. The premise of the game is that Adolf Hitler has resurrected dinosaurs, and players can battle online choosing to serve either the Allied nations or the Nazis.[1][2] The game has been described as a new twist on "the overdone World War II FPS ... that has become a running joke in the industry and gaming press".[3]

The initial game consists of five maps and three game modes. The game consists of six playable classes for the Allied nations and Axis nations respectively. The Allied side has five human classes and one dinosaur class, and the Axis side has three human classes and three dinosaur classes. The developers, 800 North and Digital Ranch,[1] have announced that they will add more maps, game modes, increase the number of playable characters and even add a single player mode through free updates.[4][5]
