Evolve

The matches in Evolve are different from what we know from the typical shooter game – the game is asynchronous and unique for each player. The hunters’ team begins for example from tracking monster – and this is a trapper’s specialization. This mercenary can lay out the sound probe, restrict movements of the enemy using a harpoon, or imprison him inside the force field temporarily. After fixing the position of the victim, the team must cooperate together - medic should heal, unit should renew shield of companions and a assault has to attract the attention of a dangerous beast. In this part of game cooperation between players is important.

The situation looks completely different from the monster side. At the beginning of the game it has to flee from people who seek him and hunt animals and eat their meat. Only in this way the beast increases the chances to win the game - after consuming a right portion of carrion it may evolve into a stronger character. Then the player receives more points and the ability to choose the next special attacks. Animals which wander around maps can be also useful in other ways – they guarantee bonuses and take part in combats.

Evolve is Internet game and it has all the typical elements like similar games, including the ability to unlock new mercenaries, monsters and items. From the technical point, the game runs on CryEngine and looks good. Attention should be especially paid to interesting design of characters and monsters.
