Pre-Launch Checklist
Before launch: finish the free demo to learn parry timing and Boss SP spending. Run our requirements checker against your GPU and RAM. Update your demo build — March–July 2026 patches fixed camera clipping, added target lock options, and improved frame stability in boss arenas.
Wishlist or purchase on Steam App ID 3440070. If you play on GeForce NOW, confirm Dinoblade appears in your cloud library after the July 2026 catalog update. Controller users should verify rebindable inputs in the latest demo patch.

First Hour After Launch
Open Options immediately: set camera zoom to maximum, choose your preferred target lock mode, and remap movement keys if you use AZERTY or non-QWERTY layouts. Enable Reduce Gore if streaming or playing in a shared space.
The full campaign expands beyond demo content with new biomes, Alpha bosses, legendary weapons, and 29 achievements. Defeating the final boss unlocks Boss Rush mode. Demo progress does not carry over — treat launch as a fresh start with skills you already learned.
