We’ve met the Splitscreen Studios team at the Gamescom in Colonia and they showed us a preview of Dino Storm, their new free to play 3D Browser MMO set in the Wild West.

Basically you are a cowboy riding a dinosaur in the desert trying to make your way to the success by exploring the different areas facing down gigantic herds of dinosaurs and merciless robber bands and starting your thrilling search for valuable items. Set up supply camps, outposts, and goldmines, defend them against other players, and earn fame and respect. Only the best will manage to rise to become the sheriff of the town. Here’s a bunch of screenshots to give you a closer look to the game.

Fame and fortune await brave adventurers in the free 3D multiplayer Dino Storm. With just a few dollars in your pocket, a little ammunition, a loaded laser cannon, and your small dinosaur, you make your way to DinoVille. Your firsts steps in the game lead you to explore the game world riding your dino, trying to loot and sell the stuff you’ve looted for better gear and dinos.
Combat wise, you’re fighting on your dino trying to kill your foes with your laser canon which will evolve and become more powerful as you progress in the game. If you take control of important buildings of DinoVille, the other player will fight with you to take them from you.
