Evolva demo (Windows)

Overview:

Evolva is a tactical shoot-'em-up for the PC that immerses the player in a visually stunning 3D world that offers a rich gameplaying experience. Driven by Computer Artworks' A-Life technology, this world and its alien inhabitants form a challenging and living environment. Evolva puts the player in a fight against an alien parasite that has infected a planet. This parasite has an army of protective guardians that have to be stopped in order to stop the parasite itself. The player takes control of a team of customizable creatures called Genohunters, and guides them through a unique gaming world that mixes the excitement of a fast-paced shoot-'em-up with the tactical elements of a strategy game (see screen shots). It is the future and humanity has become masters of genetic engineering. The ultimate use of this technology is in the Genohunter. The Genohunter is the ultimate adaptive warrior that can be deployed in any situation. The Genohunter adapts itself by absorbing enemies, analyzing their DNA, and then mutating itself to incorporate any useful abilities the creature may have had. For example, if a Genohunter absorbs a creature that has the ability to jump high, the Genohunter will increase the size of its legs to emulate the jumping ability.
