Highlights
Paleo Pines is a new sim game that combines the coziness of Stardew Valley with the addition of more dinosaurs, catering to dinosaur enthusiasts.
The trailer demonstrates a range of activities like dinosaur taming, NPC interactions, crop cultivation, and personalized farmhouse customization. The simulation offers diverse biomes to venture into, encompassing grassy and rocky landscapes, and also alludes to undisclosed mysteries reminiscent of Stardew Valley.
Paleo Pines is an upcoming sim game that takes inspiration from Stardew Valley but adds a delightful twist - dinosaurs! Stardew Valley has gained immense popularity since its release, and Paleo Pines aims to appeal to the cozy game audience even more.
Sim games have been attempting to recreate the comforting atmosphere of Harvest Moon with varying degrees of success since the 1990s. Some of the recent calming sim games available on modern hardware include Coral Island, My Time at Portia, and Story of Seasons. While the latter is a contemporary take on the Harvest Moon formula, most other sims offer their own unique spin on the genre. While Stardew Valley already features dinosaurs, Paleo Pines promises to deliver an even more dinosaur-filled experience, setting it apart from other sim games. Although Ark: Survival Evolved may satisfy the dinosaur cravings of some players, Paleo Pines seems to be more suitable for a younger audience.
Modus Games has recently released an exciting trailer for Paleo Pines, showcasing a plethora of activities available to players in this simulation game. Players can expect to embark on a variety of adventures with their customizable protagonist, including the ability to tame dinosaurs, interact with numerous NPCs, cultivate crops, and expand their own farm. The trailer also highlights the customization options for the protagonist's rundown farmhouse, with various aesthetic possibilities.
Paleo Pines boasts three distinct biomes for players to explore, each offering its own unique features. From lush grassy fields to rugged rocky terrains and even an oasis, the world of Paleo Pines promises a diverse and immersive experience. In the trailer, the protagonist stumbles upon a fascinating Moon Sculpture, hinting at the potential for uncovering secrets similar to those found in Stardew Valley.
In line with beloved farming games like Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons, Paleo Pines allows players to gradually upgrade their initially dilapidated property as their adventure unfolds. The trailer introduces six different species of dinosaurs, three of which are rideable companions. Indeed, humans and dinosaurs in Paleo Pines form a cooperative relationship, and the trailer showcases how these prehistoric creatures can assist with everyday tasks. Intriguingly, mountable dinosaurs possess their own unique abilities: watch as a triceratops obliterates boulders through sheer force, a theropod gracefully leaps into logs, and a diplodocus efficiently clears away bushes from the farm. These dinosaurs may even have multiple skills, as the trailer hints at their ability to perform different tasks effectively.
Modus Games, known for their simulation game Maximum Football, will be venturing into the farming sim genre for the first time with Paleo Pines. Although Ark: Survival Evolved may touch on similar elements, Paleo Pines aims to provide a more comfortable and cozy playing experience for fans of both dinosaurs and farming.
Mark your calendars, as Paleo Pines is set to release on September 26 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
