Dino Crisis

Directed by Shinji Mikami, Dino Crisis is a landmark survival-horror title from Capcom. Blending the suspense of Resident Evil with prehistoric terror, it introduced players to a unique 'Panic Horror' style, becoming a cult classic that sold over 2.4 million copies.

Gameplay emphasizes strategic evasion over direct combat. Players must manage scarce ammunition and health while solving environmental puzzles. Unlike slower zombies, the dinosaurs are fast and aggressive, requiring constant movement and smart item use to survive encounters.

You play as Regina, a special agent investigating a secret facility overrun by genetically engineered Velociraptors and a T-Rex. The story unfolds through multiple endings based on your choices and actions, adding replay value to the tense investigation.

Dino Crisis is notable for being Capcom's first fully 3D-rendered horror game, moving beyond pre-rendered backgrounds. While its sequels shifted toward action, this original PlayStation title remains beloved for its pure survival atmosphere and the sheer threat of its reptilian foes.
