Evolution Planet: Gold Edition

[h1] Casual game where you match 3 of the same kind to level up creatures merging them into one. Try to get them to higher tiers. Basic gameplay and it takes long to finish the game. [/h1]

Evolution Planet: Gold Edition - Win 10 64bit - no problems Another "pocket picker" - like Fallout Shelter, it's designed to drive you to purchase something to complete levels. It's a little clumsier than Fallout Shelter in it's approach. But both use "pusher" tactics whereby the player is given aids, at first. [gems in the case of Evolution Planet; Nuka Cola in Fallout Shelter] They learn to play the game, depending on aids to complete. Suddenly, the difficulty spikes and one cannot continue without additional aid. The first few levels play like a tutorial written for 3rd graders. It continues to hold the player's hand through the intermediate levels, as if written for a child player. Wham! Level 15. You must complete this level or you cannot continue. The game claims 2 styles of play; Campaign and Survival, but Survival is locked away behind level 15. Where the difficulty to this point has been at a child's level, level 15 requires the strategies of a chess champion. Even then, the random placement of enemies will destroy any strategy. Everything about this level is intended to thwart you so you'll be forced to buy gems to complete it and have access to the other half of …

It's a cute game. The graphics are adorable and the music / sounds are kid–friendly, but the gameplay just isn't there for a PC game. Evolution Planet was obviously a mobile port, and they didn't change it enough to make it work outside of a microtransaction environment. There's [b]a lot[/b] of RNG involved with creature placement on the boards, and it will screw you over constantly. Oh, but that's why you have [i]Gems[/i]. But you only earn gems from making evolutions (and then collecting them off the board after) or from special levels (that you can only play once) or from a "Daily Spin". But everything that costs gems is incredibly expensive, and you [b]will[/b] run out very quickly. Don't even think about going back to previous levels to grind gems either, because it will take forever. If you're looking for a Merge game fix there are definitely better ones. I got about 2/3rds of the way through this one and then it forgot my progress and tried to start me from the beginning so I uninstalled it because F that.

I didn't go very far in campaign mode yet. I played it long enough to unlock Survival Mode, and that's what I've played since. This is meant to be a mobile game, I think, but it works just fine as a time killer on PC. It's cute, polished, and more than a little bit addictive. It's a strategy game more than a puzzle game (in survival mode, anyway.) Someone else compared it to Triple Town--which I've played a lot of--and it is similar in that three of a given thing joint together to make a bigger thing. The similarity really ends there though because the object here is not JUST to make the bigger thing, but to place it so that it stomps the enemy's things, before the enemy stomps yours. Additionally, you can earn pink crystal thingies which you can use to move a creature, or to buy a creature, and there are fruit thingies which (I think) give you more points, so sometimes it's good to pause and think about where you are actually going to put the nexxt creature. Great game for those who like small, cheap, cute, colorful, strategy games. I'm happy with my purchase of this one.

it wont play and it freeze up my computer

Fun game of matching and through matching-evolving into new animals, very Bejeweled/Candy Crush-esque between matching 3+ and each level having it's own requirements for completion of that level. This game is recommended
