Ever heard of a game called Evolve? For thoughts of you who haven't, it's a game for 5 people (4 hunters and 1 monster) and the goal is for the hunters to kill the monster or for the monster to kill all the hunters or the power relay. It's a really neat game that I really enjoy watching my buddy play. It's amazing how the game is setup because each player can list their priority 1-5 between the monster and the 4 classes of hunter.
With the monster, you have three to choose from: Goliath, Kraken and Wraith. My personal favorite is the Wraith because it is based around stealth.
The Goliath is the toughest of all, having the most health and most shield. It can slo breathe fire and throw rocks. It's the first monster you start off with in the game. I've seen quite a few people play this monster.
The Kraken is like the middle ground between the Goliath and the Wraith. Having a decent amount of health and shield while being kind of stealthy, it is an interesting class, but one that I have not seen played a lot. My other buddy likes it because he calls it Cathulu.
The Wraith is my personal favorite as well as my other friends. This is the most OP class as well as the most over played. This monster can send out decoys as well as super nova which looks amazing (warning for epilepsy). I'd say 7/10 times you play a game, this is the monster you will be attempting to kill. Believe me, if the person playing this class knows what they are doing, you are in for the fight of your life.
Now for the Hunters. There are four different classes of hunters: support, assault, trapper, and medic. Each class has a different person you can play as that have different abilities. I'm not very familiar with the hunters because my buddy mostly played monster.
Support is exactly what it sounds like. You can cause the monster to take double damage and stuff like that.
Assault is the brute of the group who's job is to do the most damage. I've actually never seen my buddy play this class as it is at the bottom of his priority list.
Trapper is again self explanatory. Your task is to trap the monster. The most interesting and important ability the Trapper has is the dome. The dome is used in an attempt to keep the monster contained for a short period. However, sometimes the monster will not be trapped inside the dome and then it is imperative that the Trapper take the dome down. Unfortunately, I've seen my buddy get trapped inside of a dome without the monster and the Trapper wouldn't even take it down. Troll. Or Noob.
And finally, there is the Medic. I just want to say that you are either great or terrible with the class. The majority I have seen suck. Your job is to heal the team or resurrect the team without penalty. Why are you running away from the entire team? My buddy is great with this class but it is apparently difficult to find a decent medic. When we play the game together and we get a random person playing Medic, 9/10 we will say, "Bro, do you even medic?"
So if you haven't played Evolve yet and you are a gamer, you definitely should play it. But I must warn you that just like every other video game, there are trolls and noobs so consider yourself warned.
