There are enough other ways to mess with fellow players that someone who might not have the best controller skills could still take a match just by being clever. Clever players can take advantage of this, however, and lead their pursuer into an ambush. Whenever you come across something that another player interacted with (a tree stump, a looted chest, an extinguished fire, etc), you get a “clue”, which highlights that player’s footprints and gives you their location for 30 seconds. It more than makes up for that with strategic considerations, however. Landing arrows definitely requires skill, but it doesn’t have the tactical depth of a modern shooter. Darwin is third-person, and the combat is much cruder. First and foremost, Battlegrounds is built on the back of a modern military first-person shooter, and that defines the moment to moment gameplay. Given the dominance of Battlegrounds right now, the question is what the Darwin Project does to separate itself. This kind of asymmetry creates a fun way for players of different skill levels to engage without just being creamed, which is particularly relevant with a game that has player elimination like this. Some of these being tested include dropping nukes or swapping the location of two players (although they told us that the latter will likely be axed for being too frustrating). The developers are early in creating more powers that the Director can use to mess with the players and maximize entertainment value. This role can be filled by a player, which is one of The Darwin Project‘s most unique features. When and where these events occur during the match is controlled by the Director, a robot camera master of ceremonies hovering overhead. The need to gather resources and craft supplies makes the early game a slow burn.Īll of these elements help force the game to a conclusion as the player count drops, raising the pressure on the survivors. All of this takes time, which leaves you vulnerable. One tree yields one piece of wood, which can be crafted into a fire or a single arrow. To do that you’ll have to chop down a tree first.
To stay ahead of the cold you will need to occasionally build a fire. An ever-dropping temperature meter threatens freezing to death before you even see another player. The terrain is hilly, forested, and snowy, dotted with various structures like teepees, raised walkways, and ruined cabins. More than just atmospherics, the wintry setting is indicative of the survival elements at play in Darwin. A match can support up to 32 players, but we played a round with seven competitors, which the team has found to be a match size sweet spot. In The Darwin Project‘s dystopian future, overpopulation has led to the practice of reality tv-style battle royale contests to keep the masses manageable, a la The Hunger Games or The Running Man. Players are dropped into a roughly 2 km across hexagonal arena, divided into seven sectors, armed with an axe and a bow, but no arrows.
