The game features a creation tool that allows the player to alter the environment for the park site, including adding water sources and trees. The player starts with building an Expedition Center, from where archaeologists will be sent to find dinosaur DNA material in the dig sites all over the world. Other buildable objects are related to park security and include Ranger stations, emergency shelters, storm warning centers and more.Throughout the gameplay, the player will encounter random events. Bad weather conditions, power outage or even dinosaur breakout – the player will have to deal with those problems to keep the guests safe and entertained. The player will also have to maintain their reputation with the park divisions: Science, Security, and Entertainment. If one of them becomes dissatisfied wth the player’s way of managing the park, they may try to sabotage it.JWE features two distinct gameplay modes: Career and sandbox. In career mode, the player is tasked with building and managing dinosaur theme parks on the islands of Las Cinco Muertes. The sandbox mode is played on Isla Nublar, the island known from the film series. There, the player can utilize everything they have unlocked in the career mode, adjust the weather conditions, etc.Let’s make a dinosaurThe dinosaurs are the main attraction of the Jurassic World. The game includes 40 types of these mighty lizards, each with different statistics, like resilience, stamina, etc. The player creates a dinosaur by finding fossilized DNA fragments and bringing them back to Hammond Creation Lab. There, the animal can be bred and incubated. To alter the characteristics of the dinosaur, the player might combine the DNA of the dinosaur with the one of a contemporary species. DNA splicing changes anything from the dinosaur’s statistics to its appearance.Story of scientific progressIt’s your turn to carry on John Hammond’s legacy and bring the dinosaurs to the paying masses. On the archipelago of Las Cincos Muertes you will create the most advanced theme parks in the world, hosting a range of prehistoric animals.
