14 DAY TRIAL // Housed in a massive network of surplus Protologic 68000 machines from the '80s, Darwinia is a world where the single-poly Darwinians, or DeeGees as fans call them, can grow and evolve with their simple yet growing AI. Darwinia is an award winning game that was nominated for Best Game in the GameShadow Innovation in Games Awards 2006. The game scored 90% from PC Gamer UK and reached number 21 on its 'Top 100 PC Games' list.
Now, Introversion Software's Darwinia is going multiplayer and is going to be known from now on as Multiwinia, a both cooperative and competitive multiplayer action game, similar to Cannon Fodder and Knottenbelt, also mentioned, there would be graphical improvements added like a new formation mode, "which will let you organize your Darwinians into ranks to create massive armies."
The game pretty much falls into any game genre, as it mixes elements from strategy, action, puzzle, hacker, and God games. Its retro styling coupled with colorful 3D design is unlike most games on the market, and its simple, intuitive gameplay is actually a mask for something more profound. Not very much is known about the new Multiwinia for now, but as you might have already guessed, you can look up for Darwinia if you want to know more about it. The title does say that Darwinia is becoming Multiwinia, so that means it's going to be the same game basically, only with a multiplayer mode too. It's not due until 2008 unfortunately, but it's good to know what to expect.
