'AVP: Evolution' Updated with New Characters, Weapons, Missions and More

In late February Angry Mob Games, creators of Muffin Knight [$0.99 / Free] and Guerrilla Bob [$0.99 / $2.99 (HD)] on iOS, released a new 3rd-person action game in the Aliens vs. Predator crossover universe titled AVP: Evolution [$2.99]. In fact, Angry Mob had already proven their merit in working with this kind of IP with their previous dual-stick game Predators [$0.99], which was actually quite good.

Graphically, AVP: Evolution is very impressive, and it lets you battle through its campaign as either an Alien or a Predator. At first blush, though, it felt like nothing more than a mindless, button-mashing brawler. In some ways it actually is, and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that. However, put a little time into learning the mechanics and there's actually a very satisfying game here, and it's one that players in our forums have been enjoying a ton since its release.

Yesterday Angry Mob pushed out the latest update to AVP: Evolution and it's a doozy. Two new playable characters have been added, the Berserker Alien and the Chopper Predator, and each come with their own unique new abilities. There are some new missions to play through and secret areas to discover throughout the game's campaign. Oh, and the Predator has gotten a couple of new weapons to add to his arsenal: a Shuriken and a Plasma Railgun.

Additionally, the combat camera has been improved, following up on some tweaks made to the camera and combat mechanics in the previous update. Difficulty has been adjusted as well, along with performance improvements so the game runs more smoothly on all the various supported iOS devices.

AVP: Evolution opens up as a pretty awesome action game once you've spent some time learning the ropes, and especially if you're already an Alien or Predator fanatic. This new update keeps the good times rolling, so be sure to check it out.

Quirky App Of The Day: Critical Missions: SWAT Is An Intense First Person Shooter

The game features eight different modes of play. All eight are available if you play a multiplayer game. However, only three modes are available as a single player.

The eight modes are classic, team death match, zombie mode, zombie match, survival, death match, juggernaut, and capture the flag. The single player option features the classic, team match, and zombie modes.

There are two teams that you can choose from: SWAT and terrorist. In the classic mode, you can win the game as a SWAT member if you save all the hostages. As a terrorist, you can win by planting a bomb. You can also win by eliminating all of your opponents.

The team death match mode is set up so that there’s no actual winner. Death isn’t permanent. There’s just a scoreboard that keeps track of how many kills you’ve made. This mode is more for people who want to enter a casual fight and quickly immerse themselves in the action instead of battling individual rounds.

In zombie mode, a random player is chosen to be a zombie. Their goal is to infect as many other players as possible. The object of this mode is for the humans to eliminate all the zombies.

Zombie match is similar to the team death match. The only difference is that zombies are added to both teams, and they will help you fight the other side.

Death match mode doesn’t have any teams. It’s every player for themselves. The last player standing wins.

Juggernaut mode begins with the game host having extra speed and health. The goal is for the other players to take down the juggernaut. The player who kills the juggernaut becomes the next one.

Capture the flag mode is pretty obvious. There are two teams, and they’re trying to get their enemy’s flag.

In addition to all these great modes that you can play through, there’s also a wide variety of weapons that you can choose from. There’s a knife, pistol, assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, and grenades.

Anyone who enjoys games like Call Of Duty or Halo would probably love this game. I enjoy first person shooters, and I liked how much control I had over the difficulty settings.
