Evolve: 10 Big Things You Need To Know Before Buying
8. 12 Hunter Characters
You might think that, like its predecessor Left 4 Dead, Evolve has four main characters to play as. In fact, Evolve actually has twelve different hunters distributed evenly between the four classes. The characters arent just different skins; each character has their own set of weaponry and skills that correspond with their respective classes. For example Maggie, a trapper-class hunter, has her own pet monster named Daisy that acts as a bloodhound of sorts. It tracks the monster down and can revive you if you fall in battle. This is an ability unique to her, and this is the case for every character. One assault-class character has a flamethrower and toxic grenades while another has a rocker launcher and an ability boosting drug. This makes every character, even within the same class, play differently, which adds incentive to unlocking them. They are all fully voiced and the banter between them changes depending on who they are matched with. Its fun to mix and match to see how different the dynamic is between certain hunters. Its by no means extensive, but its an appreciated touch that adds a bit more personality to the game where there otherwise wouldnt be any.
