Orion: Dino Beatdown Has Classes, Beaten Dinosaurs


I'd inadvertently left some Beefheart playing when I unmuted my speakers to have a listen this trailer, below. The effect was quite beautiful. Or perhaps I've not had enough sleep. Another thing, the name "Orion: Dino Beatdown" really doesn't seem quite right to me. I mean, Orion looks like Tribes mated with a Jurassic Park movie licence anyway, but the name sort of doubles that: half serious sci-fi, half 1980s dinosaur platformer. Perhaps that's appropriate. Hm.

The game is out April 20th.
