Developed by Scavengers Studios, Darwin Project is an online multiplayer battle royale video game, available for the Windows operating system. While it is still in early access, the free to play model offers all users a chance to play its unique style. It focuses on the post-apocalyptic world in the future during an upcoming Ice Age. Players are thrust into something that resembles a scientific experiment. However, this experiment has gone horribly wrong! The battle royale style presents itself in the form of reality television. There are 11 players in a match. The teams are five versus five. In the meantime, the 11th player plays the Show Director.
This video game is only multiplayer. Players either fight in matches or watch. Neither is a dull experience, though. This creates a game notably unlike any other battle royale game out there. Bet on who will be the winner in the impending bloodbath. In fact, spectators and The Show Director directly affect the outcome of these battles!
Darwin Project Features
The game focuses on goofy mechanics. Players watch the mayhem or are part of it. There is an entire role known as The Show Director. This special playable character is selected randomly from the 11 users in a lobby during the beginning of matches. After being selected, the other 10 players start in a random zone with only an ax and a bow. Gather resources and prepare for combat by crafting armor and other important items. This is where The Show Director and spectators come in. They have ways to mess with the combatants. Sometimes, they make any character unkillable. Total invincibility disappears at a moment's notice, however, so plan carefully and expect the unexpected!
Meanwhile, players in the fight work must hard to prepare for a knock-down, drag-em-out battle. Because of the addition of The Show Director and an audience the odds are against everyone equally. Survive in a harsh Antarctic climate on big maps while the world watches. Set traps to kill other players and be the last one standing. Hunt opponents by sneaking around and tracking them in silence. The methods are endless, but the matches are not.
In Summary
Darwin Project lives up to its name. The video game focuses on a total beat down in a truly unique fashion by using a spectator system. Make bets with The Show Director and help choose who gets huge perks and who loses out. Watch players hunt one another or partake in the action personally. On the battlefield, craft traps with gathered resources. Take each other out and be the last person standing. Teammates coordinate together for the ultimate arctic survival experience. The free to play aspect encourages everyone to try this video game and pick their personal mayhem style!
