Hands-on: The Many Ways to Play Evolve
Available in Australia on February 10th, 2015
Turtle Rock Studios’ upcoming shooter Evolve is one of the best shooter experiences we’ve ever had with a controller (and I’ve played a lot of shooters). Part of that slick functionality is about how well-designed the control system is, but a lot of it has to do with the kind of game Evolve is. Unlike some other shooters – which reward accuracy combined with speed – Evolve tasks its four monster hunters with shooting at a gigantic target that can be seen coming from quite a distance. It’s not about snapping the aiming reticule instantly to a single pixel; it’s about timing, controlling space, and teamwork. And that’s just when you’re playing the hunters. As the monster, it’s even more fluid on Xbox One. “We thought of Street Fighter,” said Phil Robb, co-founder of Turtle Rock Studios and creative director on Evolve. “It’s about launching the right moves at the right time – not twitchy reflexes.” For the uninitiated: Evolve is an asymmetrical first-person shooter, in which a team of four hunters take on a single, gigantic monster in a series of maps and game modes. One player chooses the monster, and the others pick one of the four classes of hunter: Trapper, Assault, Medic, and Support. The Trapper is responsible for tracking and ensnaring the monster (at least temporarily), while the Assault is the frontline damage dealer. The Medic is just what it sounds like, and the Support characters have various abilities that buff other hunters or debuff the monster. Only one player can play any given class, but there are several different individual hunters to fill each role, all of whom have a unique set of abilities and weapons.
