Jurassic Park: Builder (2012)
Jurassic Park: Builder is a construction and management simulation game developed by Ludia and released in 2012 for Apple devices, and later for Android and Facebook. The game allows players to build and manage their own Jurassic Park, featuring extinct animals from the Mesozoic, Cenozoic, and Paleozoic eras.
The game features three different parks:
- Jurassic Park: Located on Isla Nublar, this park features dinosaurs and other Mesozoic animals.
- Aquatic Park: Located on a seabed, this park features extinct aquatic animals.
- Glacier Park: Located in Patagonia, this park features extinct animals from the Cenozoic era, along with some Mesozoic crocodilians.
Players start the game by choosing one of the three parks to build. Once they have chosen a park, they must then build enclosures for the animals, as well as other facilities such as restaurants, gift shops, and research centers. Players must also manage the park’s finances, ensuring that they have enough money to cover the costs of running the park and expanding it.
One of the unique features of Jurassic Park: Builder is the ability to create hybrid dinosaurs. By combining the DNA of two different dinosaurs, players can create new dinosaurs with unique abilities. For example, players can create a Tyrannosaurus rex with the speed of a Velociraptor, or a Triceratops with the horns of a Stegosaurus.
Jurassic Park: Builder also features a social element, allowing players to visit each other’s parks and trade dinosaurs. Players can also compete against each other in tournaments to see who can build the best park.
Jurassic Park: Builder was a critical and commercial success, receiving positive reviews from critics and players alike. The game was praised for its fun and challenging gameplay, as well as its impressive graphics and sound design. Jurassic Park: Builder was also a financial success, generating over $100 million in revenue.
