✦ AI summary
Players appreciate Evotales' charming art style, educational Paleozoic theme, and varied challenges, but consistently criticize its punishing difficulty spikes and unfair enemy encounters like the trilobite-worm section that lack proper playtesting. Beyond difficulty complaints, players note technical issues including poor text formatting, missing controller support, performance problems, and a lack of quality-of-life features like fast-forward options during retries.
Maybe I am an idiot but I cannot pass the section with the trilobites and the worm thing. It is too bad because this has nice art and I love the theme of Paleozoic Eon. This game has a lot of charm and potential, and that was why I initially bought it! It definitely delivered on those aspects. The developers just need to play test the game more. Maybe also add a fast forward button to help skip the wait times when retrying a challenge? There are also a lot of little issues that I think would be worth improving. The text was not properly formatted on my screen, the game lacked controller support, there were performance issues, etc.3 found this helpful
This is a challenging game. Set in the Paleozoic era and during the Cambrian explosion, this game is surprisingly educational. I learnt a little bit from this game, but the game play itself can be really challenging. The enemies all have different ways of killing you and once you learn they each have their own patterns, the game becomes a little bit easier. The environment is what i struggled with the most and was many a times frustrated as gas, spikes and rocks killed me every few seconds. If I were to recommend this game i would have to warn you of the difficulty. The different challenges presented throughout the game however keep everything feeling somewhat fresh :) Overall, I would give this game a 5/102 found this helpful
Hundreds of millions of years before humanity walked the Earth, before forests covered continents, and long before civilization emerged, life struggled to survive in an ancient and hostile world. Evotales invites players to embark on an extraordinary evolutionary journey that begins deep in prehistory, tracing the distant origins of mankind through the eyes of one of our earliest ancestors. Starting as a fragile creature in a world dominated by larger and more powerful lifeforms, players must adapt, evolve, and overcome countless challenges in order to survive the relentless forces of nature. Your adventure begins during a time when life on Earth was still experimenting with new forms and possibilities. As a primitive chordate living among the mud and shallow waters of ancient oceans, survival is far from guaranteed. Predators lurk nearby, environmental dangers threaten at every turn, and even the smallest mistake can mean extinction. At first, avoiding danger through careful movement and quick escapes is often the only option. However, as your species evolves and develops new traits, weakness gradually gives way to strength, allowing you to challenge creatures that once seemed un…1 found this helpful
This is the LEAST amount of fun I have EVER had with a steam game. Its a shame because it looks quite nice and the music is great, its just very unfun and unfair. As already mentioned by someone else, the trilobites and worm combo plus no backward movement ruins this game in a heartbeat..
