Modular Organisms
In Evoscape, the player and each enemy is made out of cells. If all cells are destroyed, an organism dies.
Have highly specialized or more generalist cells, by picking specific genes for them. Become a slow moving powerhouse, by dividing your valuable cells a lot, protect your strong cells by building a defensive cell wall around them or stay small, agile and versitile. The strategic possibilies are endless.
Destroy specific enemy cells first, to hinder their ability or cut them in halve to destroy large parts of the organism at once.
Action Combat
Fight a wide variety of hostile organisms and bosses in an action packed melee- and range combat system.
Each boss organism has its own mechanics, that test your strategic descision making, as well as your agility.
Parry
Counter enemy attacks with timing-based parry system with parryable and unparryable attacks, to keep you on edge.
Explore
Venture into the mysterious world of microbiology and explore nine large, handcrafted, visual distinct areas. To enhance replayablity you will find the levels changing, with different paths and challenges each time you enter while still having a handcrafted, purposeful level design.
Build Your Organism
Start as a single-celled organism. Divide your cells to grow and enhance your organism into a creature that is fit to survive in a hostile environment. Each cell has its own set of mutations, so you not only have the choice of which upgrades to pick, but also where to place them to have the best synnergies between them.
Cell division multiplies all mutations of that cell, but has an increasing cost. Decide when to start copying your upgrades and when it's best to build up cells by picking new upgrades.
Enhance Your Genes
Mix and match random mutations of 11 genes to build a unique playstyle for each organism. Find synnergies between genes and between mutations within genes.
