Evolva Reviews

I love the unique abstract SciFi 90's vibe. Somebody should make an enemy spawn and multiplayer bot mod to increase the pace and replay value.

i bought this on initial release but i was too young to really understand it. here i am over 20yrs later replaying it! funny thing is i had forgotten its name but it kept haunting me. still cool today!

Evolva is a classic that I obsess over. if you don't know how good this game could of been, its a shame. for it has a great concept with evolving and mixing dna to form and reform your warriors.. To this day I still think fondly of it. like a forgotten but often remembered lover. this gem is one I deeply encourage developers to take on and make for a modern audience. maybe not so much the same but with the core combat and story there there's a lot of leeway for tributes to classics like this. Ok with that all out of the way. I wanna say... If you really consider it in all forms, This game was one of the first rogue like games back in the 2000s if you count absorbing DNA as exp, Mutating as getting power ups or weapons, Exploring different worlds with swarms of the variations of enemy types, and friendly enemies that you can slay for other power ups.. In all forms if the term Roguelike existed back then, it would definitely be something of a experiment of one.. but even still the bigger joy if you dig those things.. and comparisons

Evolva delivers an entertaining experience to players through its innovative evolution mechanic, diverse play styles, and challenging missions. While the game occasionally suffers from cryptic elements and issues with mission objective registration, it ultimately offers a rewarding and worthwhile classic gaming experience. This enjoyment is particularly reserved for those who have a penchant for micro-management, exploration, and the patience to cooperate with occasionally uncooperative A.I. teammates.

I have played this game at least 5 times from beginning to end , nice relaxing action game , wish they would redo it and fix the graphics , maybe add a little to the story .

Evolva has such a great concept, a team of mutable warriors fighting against the hordes of parasites, evolving as they find new enemies and take their powers onto themselves. This game is tough, make no mistake, it takes skill, planning, keen vision and a good bit of trial and error to break the later levels. You'll find yourself cursing the position of the numeric keys in your keyboard as you switch quickly from mutation to mutation in order to survive the encounters, it reminds me of pro Deus Ex multiplayer players, who switch augmentations at breakneck pace. Your A.I teammates don't help much, having very poor targeting if you don't help them along, makes it all much more difficult but if you are skilled enough, your favorite genohunter may be all you need to break the parasites. Despite these shortcomings, this game is fantastic and I seriously hope for someone to remake it, perhaps with coop control of genohunters and a more modern A.I that doesn't get too stuck.

the landscape graphics pretty much suck but - hey this is old school and the game-play is fun up to a point - the mutations are very minor most of the time. I'm not sure the smart one is any smarter than the other three characters but - played this 20 years ago and still get a kick out of it

One of the best games of its time. The core concept is just fantastic. Being able to mutate your squad to get different roles, and solving the different puzzles through each levels was so much fun. The game's definitely aged now, but its atmosphere overall remains fantastic. If you're a fan of retro gaming, and dark-ish atmospheres, I highly recommend playing this game.

I bought this game because I've played the demo when I was a child and wanted to relive the nostalgia, and rest assured, this game is as obscure and weird as I remember it. It's awesome. 10/10 would recommend if you want some more weirdness in your life.

Comleted this game 3 times back in its day. It was ahead of its time both in graphics and gameplay. Great concept. It has dated in graphics only. Could have improved controls but the gameplay and concept is still awesome. Would love to see a Enhanced Edition or better still a Re-make. Stick with it because it gets even better once you advance your characters.
