GREAT! But more potential
So I have been playing for a while. I LOVE everything about this game. But there is so much potential! The abandoned archeological site in the beginner map, should have WAY more story connected lore. You should be able to find extra ammo there too! And the dinosaur wall, that would have a great lore impact too! I wish you could find heals (if dinosaurs didn’t kill you instantly) and more ammo so you don’t have to waste that precious resupply, now sure the ammo you could find would be like 1-5 bullets or arrows, but I think there implications that those structures are there, has SO MUCH POTENTIAL!! But, I just love this game! Those were my ideas.

This game would be perfection if it had 3rd party controller support. I will personally Venmo the devs $50 US American Cash if it ever comes to pass. Otherwise this game is everything you remember from your childhood, but improved.

Requesting Controller Support
Please update to allow Controller Support for this game!
I recently bought a BackBone for my iPhone, excited to be able to finally play my iPhone games (along with others) like Carnivores with a controller; until noticing it doesn’t support controller play.
I’m almost 30, and I’ve been playing this game since i was in Elementary School on my family’s laptop. (back when computer games were on CD’s)
It’s easily one of my favorite games of all time! 5 Stars for the game all by itself, i promise it will become one of your favorites too!

A good game, but there’s one problem.
Overall, I enjoy Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter. The variety of dinosaurs is really good, as well as the locations. I also really like the unique setting (an alien planet that’s inhabited by creatures that resemble the prehistoric animals of Earth. The survival mode is also really fun. However, despite all of the praises, I have a very serious question: WHY DID THEY MAKE IT SO THAT THE CREATURES INSTANTLY KILL THE PLAYER WHEN THEY HIT THEM!?!?!?! Yes, you read that right. If ANY of the creatures (even the tiny ones) hit you when they attack you, they instantly kill you. I really wish it was like if the player gets hit 5 or 10 times before they die, not one hit and they’re dead. Carnivores: Ice Age also has this issue, and it makes for some very frustrating moments when playing either game. Overall, I do like the Carnivores games, but I really wish the player did not have a single hit point.

new game/sequel idea
A sequel to the game would be nice, it could introduce new aspects to the game such as new dinosaurs, new maps, new weapons, etc. Things like a new gear system could also be added, allowing hunters to customize their own weapons (Scopes, darts, traps, tranquilizers).
New maps and weather could also be introduced such as stuff like the Volcanic Highlands, Frozen Tundra, Desert Badlands, etc. Weather like rain and lightning can also be added for the realism aspect.
A new expanded dinosaur roster would also be nice, new creatures like Giganotosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Deinocheirus, and many more could be added, as well as new a boss, Titanocarnus, a mutated hybrid left on the island FMM UV 32. Some old dinosaurs will also return, like Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, and Spinosaurus.
Quests could also be added, making it easier to earn credits, like hunting 3 Giganotosauruses for 300 credits, or 5 T-Rexes without dying for 500 credits.
So yeah thats basically all I have for now, if you wanna take inspiration from my review you can if you’d like, nice game btw :D

Great Game But It Needs Modification
Overall this game is great. I was always a fan of the classic lore and the old game that gave me the 90s classic game vibes. The only the info is that the mobile version has jut been so repetitive. They should add more than just the original things the game had. I understand we got newer dinosaurs like the Utah raptor and the troodon. But the game still needs more content. Pc has is gr t due to the fact you can have many mods people make and that the game never end. I know that kids are hid to use in mobile and how they can’t really be used but at least create some new lore and some new dinosaurs. Even some new maps would be good. In the end some change of scenery would be good and the game would be great in my opinion.

Needs updates but overall a lot of fun
I used to play this game all the time and playing it again brought back so much nostalgia. However, I noticed that it had not been updated since I had last played it. I’ve recently been getting back into Carnivores related content, and seeing the videos on the PC version of the game has made me realize how outdated the mobile version is. However, it is a fun game to play in your free time, and observer mode is a great way to see the dinosaurs up close without getting attacked. Add some new dinosaurs, weapons, maps, and it’ll be a 5 star.

Great Game! (+ some ideas)
Been playing this since my early childhood and I always loved it. Tons of unique weapons, pretty scary dinosaurs, and overall pretty fun to play. Graphics are pretty low poly, even on the best settings, and I wish they could be of slightly better quality - but I guess it adds to the charm.
I have some ideas:
-Sprint and stamina bar: Sprinting would allow the player to move twice as fast, with the downside of being louder (so it alerts nearby dinosaurs), as well as the stamina bar which slowly depletes as the player sprints
-Car: Allows the player to move extremely fast, able to traverse most terrain that the player otherwise couldn’t on foot, but is really loud and alerts dinosaurs in a large radius. The car should also have a health meter of its own, allowing the player to be protected while inside it. Carnivores would have to destroy the car first, which would then kick the player out, allowing the carnivore to attack. The car’s health could go down when crashing into trees as well. When inside the car the player should be put into third person mode to make it easier to see, since it would be pretty jarring if it was forced into first person while in a car. The player would only have one car for every round, so they have to use it wisely. The car should cost 1,000 credits
-Automatic weapons: an automatic submachine gun, firing at a rate slightly better than the pistol, with low damage. An automatic rifle which has damage similar to the regular rifle. Lastly, a minigun, which is more expensive than the sniper rifle and has an extremely high fire rate, ammo capacity (100 bullets), but with fairly low damage and accuracy. Holding the minigun also causes movement speed to be significantly lowered
-Traps: A bear trap that stuns small to medium dinosaurs for a short time, and a tripmine which does a significant amount of damage in a small radius to both all dinosaurs except for the T-rex. Traps would allow for more strategic gameplay
-Increase size of the spinosaurus, since it’s actually a lot larger than how it’s portrayed in game.
-Food chain: Carnivores should actually attack and eat herbivores, and larger carnivores should be able to attack other smaller carnivores. The T-Rex should be at the top of the food chain, since it’s king lol
-Cheats: When the player has unlocked all achievements, they are given access to some cheats. Force Field, which makes the player invincible to all dinosaur attacks. Stealth, which makes the player unable to be detected by dinosaurs unless they shoot them. Fly, allowing the player to fly around at a high speed. Cheats can be enabled on the go while in game, but they won’t be accessible in Survive mode.
all these additions would surely make the game a lot more interesting and feel less repetitive, because this game has a lot of potential! Thanks for taking the time to read all this :)

Still a fun game and i’m addicted to it again
My brother and I would love playing this game all the time. I haven’t thought about it in a while until almost 3 weeks ago i got a debit card and this was one of my first purchases on it; and it’s still fun to play!!!!!! I’m glad i don’t need service to use it unlike so many other games, loved this.

Improvements - please read developers
it would be really cool if you added thermal binoculars, scopes, automatic rifles, and maybe baits and traps to place down for the dinosaurs just like in real life hunting. It would also be nice if the character was able to run and swim, this game is very nice and played a good role in my childhood, thank you.

I'd love to give this 5 stars all the way because it is an amazing game. However it keeps crashing especially when playing for the first time. When you agree to the terms and proceed on to play, it crashes abruptly. Please fix this!

Could be better
By aiming and shooting directly at the intended target, the game can’t register that as a hit despite shooting the dinosaurs. You’ll either hit the dinosaur or not depending on if the game decides to consider it a hit.

My Review
Throughout my childhood, I played this game through 2012, a couple years after when it was released on mobile- I grew up with this tiny dinosaur game along with so many others that made me who I am today…I started playing it again a couple months ago and have actually spent my money just to play this version again- the old version that I loved so dearly and the simple pleasure that I got from doing it was so immense- when I looked at the last update from 4 years ago I became sad, because this game has probably already been long dead- I prayed for many years that it would be revisited again, and updates would start to appear once again out of the blue- but to no avail my love for this little app game is insignificant, to me it is a connection that no other could possibly understand…I want to see this game flourish once again, with new maps- dinosaurs, maybe even some new weapons and animations as well as some newly featured mechanics! I beg that someone will read this and hear my prayer and sympathize with how I feel, and take upon action to improve a once great, addictive, and classic app game…I’m sure that many would feel the same way about this as i do… ^^

Game Ideas
Hello Tatem Developers, I love this game. I’ve been playing for as long as I could remember, it’s been apart of my childhood and I love it. But I’ve been trying for so long to get on Ravaren’s Bridge for so long. Would it be possible to make it interactive? Also in observer mode, I’ve seen people flying? Is that I thing I haven’t figured out yet or isn’t in the game?

My game was lost!
I downloaded this game back in 2015 and bought the pro pack. I finally got the hidden achievement Guru after I successfully filled my trophy room with T-Rex’s, but all of my achievements weren’t showing up or even registering I had them despite seeing the banner. So I reinstalled the app only to find I LOST EVERYTHING!
