  • OMG!!

    I have played for the past few months and I have no regrets and such an intriguing concepts executed amazingly my only wish is in climate. I wish it to have 1. more cards (Difficult but I love the game so I will hold out) 2. fat tissue to have an affect climate wise, like for every food blip of fat tissue that is filled, gain half a population protection from the cold and half a point vulnerability from the warm or something. (And maybe something to do with fat tissue protecting against claws, then you could add serrated teeth to counter the fat tissue) also warm blood to gain a resistant point in weather. I have so many ideas, and this is dragging on but; I hope you know I love the game!!!

    Thank you for the five star review! We really appreciate it! Let's get into your wish list. 1. Good news, more cards are on the way! We have a couple of packs awaiting release. 2. That is an interesting insight on Fat Tissue and warm blooded. We'll be sure to consider it.

  • Its great but developer seems to be a bit greedy

    I love this game so much, and I dont mind paying for the game, and the developer had a fantastic job of giving us trial version before we decide if its worth it or not. That said once I paid for the game, I expect to have all the features and not be bombarded with dlc ads.

    That said, I know the developer needs money and a suggestion would be if the developer wishes to put additional prices on dlcs, they should at least give us trial plays on those dlc so we can decide if its worth it or not. Also the price should not be as near as the base game, its an extension, not another game. For those reasons its a 3 from me now unless the developer at least gives dlc trials

  • User Management Dumpster Fire

    The game in single player mode is quite good; very good, in fact. Gameplay is magnificent. Everything falls apart when trying to experience this online with one’s friends though.

    We set up accounts for our boys to play with us… or at least tried to. The first time the account is set up, it doesn’t persist correctly. To get an account set up to the point one can actually log in and out with, you have to reset the password.

    Even still, with accounts that now worked and linked to Game Center, the friends functionality was completely borked. Game Center friends do not show up. One can search for friends using user name or email and these will show up, but adding them only ever displays friends as offline. After an exit and restart, those friends previously added will be missing. You can try to add them again, but after finding them a second time nothing happens when trying to add them to the friends list.

    Not that it matters much though. The only time we were able to get a full list of friends we attempted to do an async game. The invites went out as notifications, but clicking them did nothing. Not sure if Timed Games has the same issue; with out a friends list we can’t start a timed game.

    I really do like Evolution and highly recommend it for the single player experience. Everything else is unfortunately a hot mess.

    Hello! We recently encountered a bug that resulted in some issues with adding friends and having them persists on the list. Our engineers are looking into the issue and have a temporary fix in place at the moment. We'll be sure to have everything sorted out soon in an upcoming update.
  • "Climate" rebrand/update bad news for existing owners

    Rather than launching this as a new app, they replaced the existing game. So any reviews prior to Dec 6th 2021 should be taken with a big grain of salt since it is no longer the same app. Similar perhaps, based on the same physical game, but not the original game all those reviews were for.

    This new one starts off badly by forcing you to pick a name before you can even get to the main menu, tied to some online functionality that I did not consent to or have any interest in! This resulted in several minutes of not accepting any choice of mine until I finally entered a garbage string of characters just to get past this (even if it will obviously not be usable in any meaningful way with other players)

    Then I went to "Restore Purchases" which does not work! I understand that they want to generate more revenue, which would be fine if this was a separate game, since it has a different name, different (online) play system & different icon. Instead they replaced the existing, still working game... presumably to generate renewed purchases. No thanks. The only positive aspect is that this serves as another cautionary tale about the volatility of digital marketplace purchases.

  • Amazing Digital Board Game

    This is one of the most robust adaptations of a board game to the digital/app format I’ve ever seen. The only thing I wish they would have done is implement a better more detailed log. Sometimes stuff happens and I don’t know why. I think that issue does mean that I can’t recommend it to less savvy or serious game players. I still highly recommend it and I wonder if they plan on adding any of the expansions like the Flight expansion or the sort-of-sequel called Evolution: Climate. UPDATE: upon subsequent plays I have discovered just how awesome this game is. It is quick playing, has a really good medium-high level of depth, the AI is really good and has like 4 levels, the campaign is great, and the presentation is really really high budget.

  • So fun, but…

    I really enjoy this game and play it a lot. I love that there is an AI option when nobody else wants to play. I am disappointed that it crashes very frequently though, especially since I use the paid version. I love that there are expansion packs but not thrilled that I have to pay almost the same amount as I paid for the app. All in all though I would recommend this game to anyone who like strategy. And I am excited to see it’s available in Nintendo too.
