One interesting feature is that when you craft an item, you leave behind a small toolbox that allows foes to investigate which allows them to track you for a given amount of time. They must chop down saplings for wood, robot deer, or recliners (don’t ask) for leather, with which they craft into cloaks, arrows, and other various tools and traps. In addition to the group size, there is a distinct survival element that players must contend with in addition to their foes. Instead of the massive 100 person free-for-all style, 10 people duke it out in a survival deathmatch. The biggest notable differ ence in The Darwin Project is the match size. As director you can grant boons like warming a player up to avoid death by exposure, or you drop a nuke on an entire zone. The Director is controlled by a player and given abilities over the span of the game to thwart the players and keep things interesting. Besides the hazards of rival inmates, contestants have to combat the elements, the clock, and the omnipresent robot Director. The map is a circle of 7 hex-shaped mini zones designated by their cardinal direction.
Thematically, The Darwin Project takes place in a post-apocalyptic Canada in which inmates compete in a reality show survival game. Whether it’s forgoing the realistic feel of Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds, or taking inspiration from the art style of Fortnite: Battle Royale (minus the bloom), up and coming Battle Royale game, The Darwin Project, is taking notes and proving that it’s not just a another derivative. Despite this, occasionally a daring developer will try to capitalize on a trend by creating something that uses the core elements of the genre without borrowing too heavily from predecessors, effectively creating something unique by vamping on existing concepts.
Developers are trying to riff on the style by adding different gimmicks, gameplay features, and mobile options. After the striking success of Battle Royale style games, the format is threatened by oversaturation.
