Play Combat Of Giants - Dinosaurs (E) Online

Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs came out on the Nintendo DS in 2008, published by Ubisoft. It was one of those games that felt perfectly suited for the handheld, a straightforward action title you could pick up between classes or on a short trip. It didn't try to be the deepest experience on the system, but it knew its audience: people who just wanted to see dinosaurs fight.

You control a custom dinosaur, choosing its species and equipping different armor parts for your head, back, and tail. The main goal is to battle through a series of other dinosaurs across different prehistoric environments to become the alpha. The core mechanics are built around using the touch screen for attacks; you slash or tap to bite, tail whip, or perform a special move when a meter fills. You also use the stylus in quick-time events during clashes to overpower your opponent. The pacing is brisk, with fights that are short and direct, though some later matches can feel a bit grindy as you need to level up. It feels like a simple, satisfying brawler where the thrill comes from visually customizing your creature and then watching it brawl.
