Greenlight Highlight | Evolution

Title: Evolution
[Greenlight Page]

What type of game is it?

A little bit of everything really.

What’s the 30 second elevator pitch?

Evolve a species from a single cell organism into a space power, all in multiplayer.

What do we like most about it?

Much like the developers, I really enjoyed the idea of Spore. I actually fully fell into the hype cycle of the game (it was the last time I did), and so when the game came out and functioned in different ways, and at a different pace, than I’d expected… I was certainly a little bit disappointed.

Evolution intends to have you go from the smallest organism up to a fully space-travelling entity. Based on what little is shown well in the trailer it appears that most of this will be done in a third person view, which infers that you might not necessarily be making a species per se. However, the fact that multiplayer has been stressed does rather alleviate the fact that certain parts of the game may be lighter than others.

We’ll really have to see how it goes, the developer has stated they will seek funding at some point in 2017,  and Steam has issued a warning at the top of the page about how the campaign might not be properly representative. So, we’ll just have to watch how it develops.

When’s it due?

Evolution is currently listed as aiming for release at the end of 2017, it is listed for release on Windows, Mac & Linux.
