Evolva Demo

Evolva is a tactical shoot-em-up for the PC which immerses the player in a visually stunning 3D world offering a rich gameplaying experience. Driven by Computer Artworks' A-Life technology, this world and its alien inhabitants form a challenging and actually living environment. Evolva sees the player having to fight against an alien parasite that has infected a planet. This parasite has an army of guardians to protect it and they will have to be stopped if the player is to be able to ultimately stop the parasite itself. The player takes control of a team of customisable creatures called Genohunters and guides them through a unique gaming world that mixes the excitement of a fast paced shoot-em-up with the tactical elements of a strategy game.

In the latter part of the 20th century, man took the first tentative steps into the science of genetics. The small band of pioneering scientists who began to study the nature of DNA could not have imagined how profound their work was to be to the course of human history. What started with the cloning of farmyard animals quickly moved into the manipulation of their genes and the creation of better and more productive forms of livestock. Cows produced more milk and sheep more wool, their ability to fight off disease improved and their numbers and productivity swelled. Crops were engineered to survive in the harshest of conditions with the maximum yields. For the first time in human history famine and disease ceased to claim the lives of untold millions.

It was only a matter of time before man was able to manipulate his own genes in the same way. Free from a world with genetic defects or imperfections humanity began a new era of experimentation where the possibilities were only limited by the imagination. Health, beauty and intelligence reached new levels. For the first time ever the world was at peace.

Inevitably the peace was not to last. With the eradication of famine and disease, the Earth's population grew to unprecedented levels and in a world choked by overcrowding, land became more coveted than ever before. Bitter and devastating wars ensued. The scientist, once responsible for man's brightest hour, now ushered in its darkest. Genetically engineered weaponry rained down unspeakable horrors across the face of the planet and the once swollen population was decimated.

As with all wars, the peacemakers eventually prevailed. The war machines were dismantled and humanity began to rebuild its population. With advances in space travel and the discovery of habitable planets in the local galaxy, the problems of overpopulation soon became nothing more than a distant memory and man was again free to continue his journey of discovery.
