MicroProse is proud to announce that it will publish Scourge of the Reptiles, a party-based tactical RPG set in a prehistoric low-fantasy world where magic, war, and colossal beasts collide.
Alongside the announcement, a brand-new trailer has been released, offering a first look at the game’s tactical combat, dinosaur-mounted warfare, and the mysterious force driving these ancient creatures into rebellion.
In Scourge of the Reptiles, a devastating meteor grants magical abilities to humans, elves, and dinosaurs alike, triggering conflict across kingdoms and unleashing a threat that spreads far beyond the hero’s quiet beginnings. As dinosaurs begin to turn against their masters, players must assemble a party, build strength in the wilderness, and uncover the source of this growing chaos.
Blending classic tactical RPG gameplay with deep systemic design, Scourge of the Reptiles places a strong emphasis on positioning, strategy, and player choice. Players will command a party of warriors, sorcerers, and dinosaur companions, navigating a world where every encounter can be approached in multiple ways-through combat, cunning, or careful preparation.
At the heart of the experience lies a unique twist: dinosaurs are not just enemies, but powerful allies, mounts, and tactical tools that can shape the outcome of every battle.
