Orion: Prelude

About

Orion: Prelude is a 2013 indie sci-fi shooter that drops you into a chaotic future where teamwork and firepower are your best tools. Play solo or with friends in co-op and competitive modes as you battle through missions, pilot vehicles, and fend off swarms of genetically engineered dinosaurs. The game mixes fast-paced gunplay with survival elements, forcing you to balance combat, exploration, and resource management across its large environments. The game’s visual style and frenetic action stand out, with community reviews noting its polished yet accessible design. While not as flashy as AAA titles, its tight multiplayer loops and co-op challenges have kept players engaged since release. The dinosaur horde mechanic adds a frantic twist to gunfights, making each session feel unpredictable. Available only on PC, it’s a lean but ambitious project from developer Dankie.
