Prehistoric Dude
SCORE: 70
Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital
download code for Prehistoric Dude on the Nintendo Switch. Families can
also find this retro looking video game on the Playstation 4, and Xbox
One. What is Prehistoric Dude all about? We go on a quest to save our
lunch. The caveman dude has a nice ham and wants to eat it. This
horrible, mean, nasty, hateful dinosaur steals it from our main man. How
rude is that? Doesn’t the dinosaur know stealing is wrong?
Sure we are dealing with a cold blooded reptile with a small brain that
is being selfish and self absorbed in Prehistoric Dude. We are given
some nice music to listen to while traversing the levels in this 2D side
scrolling video game. Prehistoric Dude looks and plays like a lot of
indie titles that have come out in recent years. Prehistoric Dude
capitalizes on the nostalgia many gamers have for a bygone era.
There are three main scenarios in Prehistoric Dude. We have a variety of
different screens we can visit in each of the scenarios. We need certain
items or keys to progress through to certain screens. Prehistoric Dude
is described as a mini metroidvania style of video game. I can see that
description fitting this downloadable only title quite well. We can
throw axes at the enemies to make them go away. Be careful as there is a
limit to your ammo.
There are items to collect in Prehistoric Dude as well. We need some of
them to improve our skills. Being able to grab on to ledges was an early
one that was extremely helpful. The swimming mechanic in Prehistoric
Dude is pretty cool. I wish there were more water parts in Prehistoric
Dude personally. That was fun. There are also hidden items in the grass.
We walk over the grass and they pop up. I kept checking certain areas to
make sure I had unearthed them all.
Prehistoric Dude is small in terms of memory size. Prehistoric Dude is
only sixty-four megs. I had fun playing Prehistoric Dude on the Nintendo
Switch. It would be awesome if Prehistoric Dude came in a physical copy
compilation. I would love to see artwork from this game in a game
manual. That is what is really missing from most indie video games in
this day and age. Online manuals are not the same thing.
