There are numerous class-based shooters available in the gaming landscape. So far, none of them feature playable dinosaurs. Indie developer Lukewarm Media looks to change that with Primal Carnage, an online multiplayer class-based shooter that pits a team of human mercenaries against a team of dinosaurs.

A military-controlled island is the setting for Primal Carnage's team deathmatch. Players will choose between five human classes or five dinosaur classes, though the production team notes that the game will shuffle players between human and dinosaur after a certain number of matches. Humans consist of Commando, Pathfinder, Trapper, Pyro, and Scientist, while dinosaurs are comprised of the T-Rex, Raptor, Dilophosaurus, Pteranodon, and Compsognathus. The humans are controlled in a first-person view, while the dinosaurs are seen through a third-person perspective.
