CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

The world of Darwinia is a virtual theme park, running inside a computer network built by a computer genius named Dr. Sepulveda. Darwinia is populated by a sentient, evolving life-form called the Darwinians. They are the product of a decade's worth of research into genetic algorithms. Unfortunately, the systems of Darwinia have been overrun by an evil red Viral Infection. This Virus has multiplied out of control and must be stopped. Your task is to destroy the Viral Infection and save the Darwinians from extinction. The Darwinians cannot be directly controlled. However, you can influence the world by creating "Programs" such as Squads and Engineers, which you can directly control and use as weapons.

Combining fast-paced action with strategic battle planning, Darwinia features a novel and intuitive interface, a graphical style ripped from '80s retro classics, and a story concerning a tribe of video-game sprites trapped in a modern 3D game world. This demo gives you a taste of the unique gameplay. Run Programs such as Squads, weapon upgrades, Commanders, and Engineers to guide your video-game sprites across the digital landscape. This second demo for the unique strategy game offers a revamped tutorial and one mission wherein you must power up solar generators to supply a giant rocket, then defeat the evil red Darwinians to take control of the spaceship. It's no surprise this innovative game was nominated for four awards at the Independent Games Festival 2006.
