Gaming Retrospective - Evolva

Evolva was a strange one, a third person action game from a year 2000 developed by Computer Artworks, this is a game where you can consume creatures to evolve your squad of genohunters, you could evolve way before Spore was released if you played this game. At the time of Evolva release there were several graphics innovations avalilable in the game like bumpmapping, lightning improvements and hardware transform, advanced graphics options way back then. Game at the time looked great. Your main mission is to deploy your genohunters on a new planet with an abundance of life and absorb new genes and incorporate it into genes of your genohunters thus evolving them into new life forms.

There are four types of genos in a four man squad, agile, heavy, intelligent and speed, everyone of them serving their purpose. Once you consume enough biomatter your geno soldiers can evolve new limbs and use cool new abilities. They can use claws to break rocks, or strong jump at the beginning of the game to traverse terrain, fully upgraded genohunter will feel like some kind of superhero with abilities like invisibility, grenade launcher and machine gun arms, fire breath, summon creatures, bio laser arms, and so many other cool mutations. You can listen to great futuristic soundtrack and absorb alien life and then mutate and make yourself stronger, what's not to like.
