  • Summary: You are the leader of a primitive village. If you want to survive life in a hostile world, you must evolve! In The Adventures of Darwin, you drive the evolution of your village from a small group of simple primates to a powerful, intelligent colony of humans. Lead your tribe on adventures, teach them to hunt, teach them to build, and teach them the power of language. Are you the leader of the evolution, or doomed to a life of monkey business? Help your tribe evolve by hunting and gathering food and developing the culture of your village. Vast prehistoric world filled with wooly mammoths, sabretooth tigers, ferocious dinosaurs, and more. Squad-based gameplay with distinct battle formations and commands. Unique AI system where your tribe becomes more intelligent as they evolve. Upgradeable weapons as your tribe evolves: Start with rocks and evolve to spears, axes, and bows. Expand

  2. Negative: 2 out of 10
  1. So while The Adventures of Darwin isn't a AAA title, nor is it without its flaws, it still manages to be a fun little diversion that's worth a try.
  2. A good effort to be innovative, trying out some new twists on existing gameplay mechanics. The game delivers a somewhat enjoyable experience. A couple of tweaks, and this game could've been very solid.
  3. The Adventures of Darwin shares many similarities to another obscure (when it was released) budget title, Katamari Damacy, but Darwin lacks the quirky charm and hyper fun of that game, and so will likely be forever relegated to the bargain bin.
  4. If evolution worked like it's supposed to, this game would have come out before Pikmin, maybe by about 35,000 years or so. But no, video game evolution works backward, beginning with an intelligent design and ending with countless dim-witted offspring. This is the story of one such far-fallen apple.
