Evolve Hunter
Read full descriptionHide full description
You are NOT the hero. You're the monster the kingdom sends its knights to destroy — so pick your beast, raise a warband, and make them regret it. Evolve Hunter is a roguelite survivor built on one question: what if the horde was yours? Choose from fifteen playable creatures, hire a gang of mercenaries, then raid a hand-built medieval world of four kingdoms. No two runs play the same. ▣ HOW IT WORKS Pick your hero, spend your gold on a warband of up to four mercenaries, and march onto a designed map — not a random arena. Auto-attack through endless hordes of knights, lancers and archers while you burn villages and storm cities. XP levels you up and stacks passive upgrades; at level 6 and 12 your hero grows a size and hits far harder. When you fall, bank your gold and come back stronger. ▣ KEY FEATURES • CHOOSE YOUR MONSTER — fifteen playable creatures: skeleton, lizard, snake, thief, gnome, gnoll, spider, lancer, torcher, giant bat, demon, bear, minotaur, hex shaman and troll. Each with its own stats and feel. • RAISE A WARBAND — hire up to four mercenaries before every raid: fighters, archers, mages and tanks. They hold formation at your side, follow you when you run, and tear the buildings down with you. • RAID A REAL WORLD — four kingdoms, four defended cities, twelve villages. Burn the houses, topple the city lord, take the country. • BULLET-HEAVEN COMBAT — dodge, kite and watch the screen melt under massive hordes. • HEAT & HUNTERS — the more you raid, the harder they hunt you. Your notoriety calls down relentless hunter squads. • PERMANENT PROGRESSION — banked gold buys lasting Warren upgrades and new heroes, so every run hits harder than the last. • BUILT FOR MOBILE — one-thumb controls, offline play, no energy timers, no waiting. ▣ WHO IS THIS FOR? If you love bullet-heaven survivors and horde-slaying roguelites — but you crave a real world to raid and a monster of your own to lead — this is your game. Built for quick, replayable runs where your hero, your warband and your build choices decide how far you get. Can you go from a pile of bones to the terror of the realm? Raid. Evolve. Survive.

DEADGRID is a minimalist zombie arena shooter — pure, intense arcade action with real multiplayer. THE CLIMB A campaign ladder thousands of levels deep, and no two rungs are alike. Every level rolls its own horde, its own weather, its own rule and its own goal: one-hit-point runs, total blackouts, meteor storms, assassination contracts. Two modes break the pattern — INFECT, where you ARE the outbreak and hunt the survivors down, and FREE FOR ALL, where everyone carries the same gun and only one walks out. 1,080 WEAPON FINISHES Thirty collectable liveries — GOLD, ONYX, SYNTHWAVE, NOSFERATU, VOIDLINE, RAINBOW and more — across all 36 weapons. Every third rung of the Climb pays one out. Locked finishes stay secret until you earn them. TWELVE HANDCRAFTED ARENAS Fight through Times Square, Shibuya Crossing, the Champs-Élysées, Copacabana, Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, Chichén Itzá and Terreiro do Paço — plus four arenas of our own: The Garden, Sporewood, Rustyard and Cindermaw. Lava rivers, container mazes, neon crossings. Every layout is placed by hand, never generated. SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE Endless waves of the undead. Every run is permadeath — beat your best in kills, waves and time survived. RANKED 1v1 — THE ARENA Duel real opponents in last-one-standing combat. Buy rage zombies and send them hunting your rival, earn a random upgrade every round, and climb 8 divisions to the top of the global ladder. DUO CO-OP Team up with a friend or matchmake with a stranger. Shared horde, shared glory — revive each other and see how deep two survivors can go. ARSENAL OF 36 WEAPONS Pistols, SMGs, shotguns, rifles, snipers, launchers, energy weapons, flamethrowers and wilder things — each with its own 3D model. Loot weapon crates mid-run and build your loadout on the fly. NINE ZOMBIE TYPES Walkers, runners, tanks, boomers, jumpers that vault your walls, fire-spitters, bladesmen who cut bullets from the air, gaolers with hooked chains and summoners who raise the dead. Smart pathfinding routes them around cover — they hunt, they don't just shamble. TURRETS & DEPLOYABLES Three turret types, barriers, claymores, explosive barrels and the legendary clapping monkey. Build choke points, then watch the horde walk into them. PROGRESS THAT LASTS • GAME PASS: a 101-tier season track with exclusive skins, chests and emotes • MISSIONS: endless ladders that pay pass XP with bonus chests on every claim • SPECS: permanent lifetime upgrades that make every future run stronger • 42 SKINS to unlock — from the humble Rookie to floating war gods • 32 EMOTES to talk trash in style COMPETE WITH THE WORLD Global leaderboards, a top-1000 board, friends list with live presence, duo invites and player profiles. Daily streaks keep your fire burning. PURE PERFORMANCE Optimized for smooth 60fps. All game audio is synthesized in real time — zero audio files, tiny download. No ads. No pay-to-win. No timers. Just pure arcade zombie survival. Download DEADGRID and see how long you survive.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DEADGRID at none against Evolve Hunter's 3. DEADGRID also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
