Gameplay[edit | edit source]
The gameplay is basically the same as the original games, while updated for its current platform with some new additions. Originally, killing dinosaurs would earn the player cash rewards, but after the most recent update the cash currency has been replaced with gems used for buying dinosaur licenses and equipment. Killing dinosaurs will also add points to the player's toal score, which allows more difficult areas to be unlocked.
Instead of having seperate forms of the mandatory equipment, the player is outfitted with a new piece of equipment called the Gadget . The Gadget contains a wind indicator (which blinks red when the player is detected by smell), a compass, binoculars , the dinosaur call , and the radar .
In Carnivores, a dropship would immediately come to retrieve a downed dinosaur. In Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD, the player must walk up to the dinosaur to obtain points and call in the dropship to retrieve it. However, the carnivores can now eat the dinosaurs the player brings down, which denies any chance of the trophy being retrieved.
The killing animations of the dinosaurs have been removed, the screen now simply fades to black with a 'Game Over' sign; and now all dinosaurs can kill the player.
