Dynopunk is an ironic cyberpunk adventure where dinosaurs replaced humanity. Developed by Tomato Fantasy Games, Dynopunk puts players in the role of Chris, a repair shop owner and the last remaining T-Rex on a futuristic Earth populated by evolved dinosaurs. Chris dreams of building a time machine to travel to the past and find love, using the skills he developed running his repair business.

About the game

At its core, Dynopunk is a game about fixing gadgets and chatting with customers. Players must elicit relevant information from their clients to find the source of the problem and perform their work neatly and carefully, as their income depends on it. Along the way, they must strike up heart-to-heart conversations with customers and offer them a beverage to their liking. The drink-serving simulator affects not only the customers' mood but also the size of the tip. These interactions also drive the game's branching story, which can be influenced by player choice.

The story of Dynopunk is full of irony, jokes, references, and Easter eggs that will cheer players up. The dialogues are well-written, and the characters are interesting and unique. The game also features a quirky assistant, a talking printer that enjoys teasing Chris about his little arms and gives questionable business advice.

Players diagnose problems with client gadgets and perform repairs to earn income and progress the story. They can also build relationships by offering specialty beverages and engaging clients in deep discussions. Higher quality work and more engaging conversations lead to better tips.

Comparing Dynopunk with Other Adventure Games

Let's compare Dynopunk to VA-11 Hall-A, another popular indie game in the cyberpunk genre. While both games share a similar cyberpunk setting, their gameplay and overall tone are quite different.

VA-11 Hall-A is a visual novel/bartending simulator that focuses heavily on character interactions and storytelling. Players take on the role of a bartender in a dystopian world and must mix drinks for various patrons while listening to their stories and making choices that affect the outcome of the game. The game's pixelated graphics and retro-inspired soundtrack create a unique atmosphere that complements its cyberpunk setting.

On the other hand, Dynopunk is more of an adventure game that combines gadget repairs, customer service, and decision-making. While players still interact with various characters and make choices that affect the story, the gameplay is more focused on fixing gadgets and managing the repair shop. The game's pixelated graphics and lo-fi soundtrack also create a unique atmosphere that pays homage to 1990s retro games.

Review: 8/10

Overall, Dynopunk deserves 8 out of 10 points. It has memorable characters, lighthearted world-building, and plenty of dialogue choices but a relatively short story and basic gameplay mechanics. The pros of a charming experience and genre blending outweigh the cons of brevity and simplicity for the right player.

8

Compared to another quirky retro-styled game like Night in the Woods, Dynopunk provides a more relaxed sim experience rather than a disturbing story-focused adventure. However, both games excel at subverting player expectations with humor and heart.

Pros:

  • Unique and interesting setting and characters
  • Well-written dialogues with references and Easter eggs
  • Great opportunity for exchanging pleasantries with quirky characters
  • Drink-serving simulator affects customers' mood and tip size
  • Original, lo-fi soundtrack

Cons:

  • Some players may find the gameplay repetitive
  • The pixelated graphics may not appeal to everyone
  • The story may be too short for some players
