About this game
History's greatest heroes. Humanity’s weirdest crisis.
The timeline is under siege. The Reptilian menace has broken through the barriers of time, bringing with them dino-cyborgs, laser raptors, and the dreaded Dictatorsaur. It’s up to a dream team of history’s most legendary figures to stop them.
Reptilian Rising is a turn-based strategy RPG inspired by ‘80s tabletop classics. Command a squad of retro-styled miniatures across battlefields that span the dawn of man to the distant future. Build your team, upgrade your powers, and bend time itself to turn the tide.
Squad Tactics, Retro Style
Fight back in fast-paced, reactive turn-based combat. Every attack provokes enemy response - so plan your moves wisely, chain powerful synergies, and use terrain to your advantage. With randomized battle setups and escalating challenges, no two runs are the same.
Villains, But Make Them Weird
This isn't your average lizard invasion. Face down malevolent Manborgs, lethal Lazer Raptors, and the tri-headed Tri-Cannon. Then prepare to battle the ultimate foe: Dictatorsaur.
Good luck. You’re going to need it.
Big Bads vs Big Brains
With three of humanity’s worst villains sharing one giant dinosaur body, you’ll need the best our species can muster to even the odds. Call up heroes from the dawn of history like Julius Caesar (et tu, Reptiles?), medieval masters of war, like Robin Hood (take from the rich, shoot arrows at dinosaurs) and great minds of super-science like Albert Einstein - all things are relative, but we’re kicking the reptiles out of this family gathering!
Time-Hopping Mayhem
There’s more to time travel than hopping in a DeLorean, phone booth, or retro police box. In Reptilian Rising you’ll use time energy on time-twisting abilities to throw the Reptilians for a loop. Create clones of your troops, call in reinforcements (we’ve got Scarface on speed-dial), or create time-gates to rush your heroes across the map double time.
Secrets in the Loop
If you can turn the tide without causing a temporal paradox, you can replay missions to tackle bonus objectives, hop between time periods to uncover secrets, and more.
Reptilian Rising launches in 2026. Add to your wishlist and prepare to lock, load, and time travel. Open the door, get on the floor, everybody shoot the dinosaur!
