Dinotica

A dense jungle stretches out ahead, full of danger and creatures just waiting to be tamed. Building a prehistoric paradise here means capturing dinosaur companions, fighting alongside them, and turning a patch of wilderness into a home worth defending.

Dinotica is a sandbox roguelite from developer XA Studio. Taming and breeding dinosaur companions, fighting through increasingly dangerous jungle depths, and building a thriving settlement with farms, beds, and decorations, you’ll gather resources, unlock new technologies, and grow a prehistoric world alongside a growing family of wild friends.

What Makes It Different?

• Find, tame, and collect a wide variety of dangerous but helpful dinosaur companions
• Breed creatures together to create stronger companions with diverse abilities
• Fight through jungle depths that grow more dangerous the deeper you explore
• Train companions and develop their skills to take down tougher foes
• Gather resources and unlock new technologies to expand your settlement
• Design a fully customizable home base with farms, beds, and decorations
• Play together in LAN co-op, split screen, or Remote Play Together

Build a Team for Every Job

Taming dinosaur companions in Dinotica is only the beginning. Breeding different creatures together opens up combinations with their own diverse abilities, letting a settlement’s team be shaped around whatever task needs tackling, whether that’s farming, combat, or expanding the base further. As the jungle’s depths grow more dangerous, training companions and developing their skills becomes essential to keeping up with tougher and tougher enemies.

A Settlement Built Together

Every part of Dinotica’s base-building leans on the bond between settler and companion. Dinosaurs can tend and harvest farms, sleep in beds built just for them, and generally become part of a settlement’s daily rhythm rather than just combat support. Gathering resources and unlocking new technologies feeds directly into expanding and decorating that home base, turning survival in the jungle into something genuinely collaborative.

How Long Does a Run Take?

An average individual play session or run typically lasts about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on playstyle, how fast objectives get cleared, and how often the creature-collecting and base-building mechanics come into play. The levels feature procedurally generated elements and roguelike aspects, so no two runs are exactly alike.

Casual runs tend to land around 30 to 45 minutes for a relaxed approach focused on simple objectives, while intense or endgame runs stretch past an hour for players building up defenses or preparing for major boss fights. Overall playtime for average completion, or total investment aiming for full completion, hovers between 5 to 14 hours depending on the difficulty chosen.
