About DinoKnights
Saddle Up to Defend the Realm On Dino-back!
Once a humble farmer’s child, you’ve been accepted into Queen Isobel's Rangers: brave knights who patrol the kingdom of Pascalia on scaly beasts. But just as you receive your own dino and begin your career as a knight-ranger, you discover evil forces are converging to destroy the Queen, and Pascalia itself.
DinoKnights is a 177,000-word interactive fantasy novel by K.T. Bryski, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Enemies and terrifying foes surround you: but whom should you fear most? The Dread Wizard Sargossa, raising an army of un-dead dragons, or an enemy much closer to the court—the Queen's own sister, Ermessen? And what about your burgeoning talent for magic? Will you hone your powers to save your village and fight Sargossa? With a dinosaur at your side and sword in hand—the realm’s fate rests on you!
- Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, or ace.
- Choose one of six different dinosaurs as your steed, including allosaurus, triceratops, and velociraptor!
- Foil a palace coup—or join it, instead!
- Hit the training yard with your dino, or spend your time cozying up to nobles and mages.
- Find love with the royal heir, a charming bard, or a powerful mage!
- Discover your secret, magical heritage.
- Fight to save your own home village from destruction.
- Defend the poorest peasants, or win fame in Royal Tournaments.
Evil is waking, and Pascalia needs you. Will you and your dinosaur answer the call?

A truly fantastic little text RPG1 found this helpful
I good little story that can be read in an evening. It's very similar to a path to knighthood but with dinosaurs, dragons, and magic. I enjoyed my time with it though the ending was sudden almost like it was an afterthought and left me unsatisfied. Wish I found out more about the final fate of my character and the other important characters. Overall, I'd recommend a path to knighthood over dinoknights but there are far worse choice of games products you could spend your money on.
Its a nice short and sweet game, well worth the money
It's ok. Not great, not bad. Get it on sale if the concept really intrigues you. The writing reminds me a great deal of YA fiction aimed at the early teens. Transitions between scenes are abrupt, and there are several occasions when you have like five or six errands to run and an entire day in which to do them, but you are nevertheless limited to picking just one of them - the rest you ignore. Like, seriously, does it take all that long to go have conversations with four or five people in a castle before going to receive your next orders? You have to talk to one of them only? Also, and this is light spoilers, but you serve the Queen and there is an assassination plot against her. It's incredibly obvious from the first moment you learn about the plot exactly who is behind it, but your dumbass character (and the rest of the kingdom) are blind to it even when your character gets offered numerous opportunities to turn traitor and join the conspiracy. What's more, even after you foil like 3 or 4 assassination attempts, you get offered options in later parts of the story that go like "Yes, it is time to strike! We will bring down the Queen!" and it's like, come on, have a little awarene…
Good game, characters are kind of flat, and it's short but all in all a good game for a good price.
