  • Unique and fun concept combining evolution and FPS gameplay with smooth mechanics.
  • Fast-paced, easy to pick up, with satisfying progression through different evolution stages.
  • Great for playing with friends and quick game sessions; well designed maps and sound.
  • Extremely low player base leading to long matchmaking times and often empty servers.
  • Limited content: only one or few maps, single game mode, and lack of bots or single-player mode.
  • Technical issues including connection problems, crashes, and network restrictions that hinder gameplay.
  • gameplay
    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for being fast-paced, intuitive, and mechanically solid, combining evolutionary and FPS elements in a unique, addictive way. However, it suffers from limited content, lack of updates, and balancing issues, with gameplay becoming stale over time and hindered by small player populations and connectivity problems. Overall, it offers enjoyable, smooth mechanics but could benefit greatly from more variety, community support, and refinement.

    • “Fantastic little game, love the idea of combining evolutionary gameplay with FPS.”
    • “The scale between evolution sizes works really well with overall gameplay philosophy, with small lifeforms scuttling through tiny cracks and pestering the building-size colossi trudging through the map.”
    • “Very fun for the price, I can see myself coming back to this quite often when I want something I can just drop straight into for half an hour, no long time commitment to get to the fun part of the gameplay.”
    • “Very shallow gameplay; it has never gotten an update (as far as I know).”
    • “The settings are very limited: you can’t access things through scoreboard and report; you can only click profiles at the end of a game. The settings favor controller axis sensitivity, and there isn't even a setting to lower music except to turn it off or reduce the master volume. There are barely any default movement options except a 'teleport' button to reset your character, which causes you to lose all earned EXP while your opponent gains it, making this option mostly pointless. Power-ups called 'hacks' are randomly found and largely ineffective. The last form, Omega, is overpowered and killing it is impossible; it forces the player to reset faster, which benefits opponents. The forms are extremely janky, can cause players to get stuck, and the game promotes little interaction or innovative play. There are useless options like 'stomp' instead of a melee button, which do not contribute to gameplay.”
    • “The meta and mechanics of this game need to be explained through a basic tutorial.”
  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game’s graphics are widely praised for their unique, appealing art style, satisfying visuals, and impressive aesthetic design that enhance the overall experience. While some note its simplicity, the visuals are well-suited to the gameplay and contribute to an immersive and enjoyable atmosphere. A few mention high processing demands, but the consistent feedback highlights quality and creativity in graphics.

    • “Extremely fun gimmick with an amazing aesthetic.”
    • “The game looks wonderful, it has unique visuals and sound effects.”
    • “The game mechanics are addicting, the graphics and aesthetics are neat and the product is top notch.”
    • “A very fun game though I know it is just my computer, it is very processing power demanding, I had to turn down the graphics.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its unique, minimalist sci-fi design and evocative style, enhanced by great soundtracks. Overall, it creates a compelling and immersive environment that complements the gameplay well.

    • “This game has its unique design, style, atmosphere, and the soundtracks are great!”
    • “A mysterious and evocative sci-fi atmosphere presented in a vaguely minimalist manner complements a well-balanced game that revolves around becoming the biggest fish in the pond.”
    • “The atmosphere is pretty great, too.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music is characterized by a heavy synth style, which some users appreciate for its unique atmosphere, though it can feel overwhelming or repetitive. Additionally, the audio settings are quite limited, with no option to adjust music volume independently, forcing players to either keep the heavy synth soundtrack or mute all sounds entirely.

    • “This game has a unique design, style, atmosphere, and the soundtracks are great!”
    • “Very heavy synth music or no music at all.”
    • “Very heavy synth music or no music at all.”
    • “There isn't even a setting to lower music except to turn it off or turn all sound down through master volume.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is inconsistent, with some players experiencing significant performance issues even on mid-range hardware, preventing stable 60 FPS. While a few users praise its efficient setup leading to minimal in-game problems, others highlight that optimization is lacking and the developer support has ceased. Private matches are recommended due to a sparse player base affecting overall enjoyment.

    • “The price tag is wonderful, the game is optimized very well and the way the game is set up makes for very minimal frustrating situations, unlike other competitive shooters I've played.”
    • “There is no optimization at all; the developers have stopped working on this game. You will get bored waiting for people.”
    • “The game has kind of bad optimization: it cannot run at a stable 60 FPS on max settings with a GTX 1060 6GB, an i5 6500, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which is well above the recommended specs.”
    • “Slight performance issues.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a single-player campaign or a deep storyline, which some players find disappointing. However, it shows potential for future updates with new game modes, missions, challenges, and additional content that could enhance engagement. Overall, the current story aspect is minimal but could improve with further development.

    • “There is no single player campaign or any real deep storyline to sink your teeth into.”
    • “The day I bought this game there were 0 players and I've tried to play it several times over the past few weeks and it's the same story.”
    • “This game has so much potential to get updated with more game modes that can make it fun and less boring when you play it, missions or challenges and new content overall (maps, evolution stages, different traits like runes in League of Legends, etc.).”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from notable stability issues, including bugs and connectivity problems such as unchangeable NAT settings that hinder multiplayer access. While no major glitches were found, the overall buggy experience and limited online player base diminish its reliability and appeal.

    • “This game has its charm but it's Ubisoft and it's buggy. Someone created a moderated NAT and strict settings so you can't play with your friend and you can't change it, which is very frustrating.”
    • “It's fun but it's buggy at the same time.”
    • “No glitches found, probably not worth buying unless you know someone will play with you because of the lack of people online.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers high replayability with a combination of skill and luck, making it fast-paced and engaging. Its large map and casual nature provide plenty of variety, ensuring enjoyable sessions, especially when played with friends.

    • “If you want a casual game with a ton of replayability, then this is one you should check out for sure.”
    • “Huge map, high replay value, and definitely fun with friends.”
    • “Play with skill and a touch of luck... great game overall, fast, quick in time and replayable.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players feel the game’s monetization is lacking, suggesting Ubisoft relaunch it as a free-to-play title with microtransactions to revive its potential and sustain it as a live service. The absence of updates, content, and advertising has contributed to its decline.

  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the humor in the game very funny and genuinely enjoyable.

    • “It is very funny”
    • “Really funny!!”
