A zoo management game with prehistoric creatures

Prehistoric Kingdom is a zoo-based management game in which you try to build up the number of exhibits and visitors you have in a huge safari park. The twist with this game is that you will be managing and growing a zoo for extinct animals. Maybe you will want to grow some woolly mammoths? How about a huge T-Rex instead?

If the game design of Prehistoric Kingdom sounds like the plot of a popular dinosaur-related movie franchise, then you won’t be the first to have noticed the similarity. That said, there are some original features in this game. It stands alone and offers creative tools for players to design their zoos in the way they would most like.

What happens in the Prehistoric Kingdom game?

You need to build your enclosures in this game. Otherwise, the creatures will roam and destroy everything. Plan housing and shelters for them. In addition, you can shape the land. Add a mountain, carve out a river, or grow a rainforest from scratch to generate the ideal environment. Then manage the zoo, its staff, animals, and visitors.

Is Prehistoric Kingdom worth it?

This will depend on how much you like management games and how much of a fan of dinosaurs you happen to be. If you’re new to zoo management and want to get the idea, try other titles like Planet Zoo or Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection. In Prehistoric Kingdom, it’ll take time to build your zoo.

A creative zoo-building game for dinosaur fans

Prehistoric Kingdom has been designed to offer two key target audiences what they want — zoo management and extinct creatures. If you like both, then this game will appeal greatly, but if only one is your thing, then it could be worth exploring further anyway.
