A demo of Dinoblade has been released on Steam. Here you fight in quite an unconventional way with a dinosaur against its kind.
What kind of game is this? Dinoblade is an action RPG developed solely by Jean Nguyen. Nguyen is a Senior Animator at Sucker Punch Productions and has worked on several notable games in the past, such as Vampire: The Masquerade 2 and Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Several years ago, he released some animations showing a dino fighting with swords. These were so well received by players that he decided to develop a game from it on his own: Dinoblade.
Now you can see for yourself, as the first demo of the game has been released on Steam.
Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, and More Dinosaurs
What kind of game is this? In Dinoblade, you take on the role of a Spinosaurus that fights with a giant sword in its mouth. You move through a prehistoric world that was altered by an unspecified catastrophic event.
In the world of the action RPG, you fight against hostile dinos, some of which are equipped with weapons themselves. By defeating your enemies, you gain souls and skill points that you can invest in new abilities.
What’s included in the demo? In the demo, which you can try for free on Steam, you play the game’s intro. You will encounter several mini-bosses as well as a final boss that you need to defeat. After defeating the final boss, the demo ends. The developer estimates the playtime to be approximately one hour.
When will Dinoblade be released? The exact release date of the full version is not yet known. Currently, only the year 2026 is indicated as the release date.
What are the players saying? Since the demo was released on Steam on October 28, 2025, there has not been much player feedback yet. However, the current rating is quite impressive. With 219 reviews (as of October 29, 2025, 17:38), the game has 97% positive ratings.
Recently, the Steam Next Fest took place on the gaming platform. During this event, you could test a variety of demos. One of them was received so well by players that even the studio behind Steam urged to keep the demo online after the event: Unassuming game on Steam was so successful during Next Fest that Valve wants the demo to remain.
