Evolution: Battle For Utopia is a Third-Person Shooter video game developed by the Moscow based My.com for Apple and Android systems.
Years ago, the planet of Utopia was discovered, with strange alien ruins found on its surface. Activating them turned the once barren world into a paradise, which was soon heavily colonized. One of the galaxy's first artificial intelligence was even created there. But when a great civil war on Earth cut off Utopia from the heart of humanity, tensions flared, and the ensuring conflict destroyed Utopia. Now, a group of scouts from Earth arrive to see what happened, only to find themselves stranded after an energy weapon destroys their ship. Faced with crazed bandits, sa renegade army, monstrous creatures, and inscrutable robots, the small crew must survive and uncover the mysteries of Utopia.
Has a sequel, Evolution 2: Battle for Utopia.
- Big Bad Ensemble: There are four major factions of enemies in-game:
- The various monster creatures, which are eventually revealed to serve the Cult of Xi.
- The Red Face bandits, lead by Kingpin, who are crazed survivors trying to eek out a living amidst the insanity of Utopia.
- The Black Legion, a force commanded by General Kurbatov, who are primarily interested in opposing...
- Dominion, an Artificial Intelligence who is responsible for Utopia's present state.
- Brutal Bonus Level: While not exactly hidden, Operations are (for their level) extremely difficult levels that have special conditions that must be fulfilled to complete. Upon killing enemies or completing those conditions, you will be rewarded with Skill Points.
- Checkhovs Gun: A few chapters into the game, Dominator robots, who work on behalf of Dominion, will begin arriving in terraformed sectors, stating that they are present to study the terraforming process. This seems innocuous, until Elizabeth reveals that the decay of anomalies into collectible resources is happening at a greater rate than normal, indicating that Dominion is responsible for this and is actively encouraging the player to terraform sectors for its own ends.
- Didn't Think This Through: When Utopia was in the grip of a civil war, Dominion's creator ordered him to end it all. He swiftly panicked when Dominion, being an artificial intelligence, carried out those orders.
- Heavily Armored Mook: Armored enemies are completely invulnerable to regular and incindeary based weapons. They'll resist shock weapons, but take full damage from frag and PSI damage. Acid damage will quickly melt them however.
- Optional Boss: You aren't required to fight certain bosses, but each one offers special rewards.
- Most Cult of Xi bosses do not need to be killed to complete the story, but they do award research for acid weapons, which can be very useful against armored foes.
- Itinerant Merchants are perfectly willing to trade with you, and robbing them not only tanks your reputation with them, but forces you to face an extrememly powerful foe that can easily kill you early on. However, robbing them and looting their corpses is the only way to unlock the incendiary grenade for production.
- Sinister Scythe: Chosen of Xi wield these, and can potentially One-Hit Kill the Commander.
- The Slow Walk: Executioners and Chosen of Xi walk slowly towards the Commander, stopping to taunt part way through. Once they reach him, they unleash a brutal melee attack.
