A traditional dungeon-crawling RPG starring adventurer Mag Launcher.
The briefing
Evolution Worlds is a traditional role-playing game and the follow-up to Evolution. Players take on the role of Mag Launcher, an adventurer who explores dungeons, retrieves treasures for the Society, and investigates the mystery surrounding his father's death.
Most of the adventure takes place across multi-level dungeons, where Mag and his companions eventually confront boss creatures to recover valuable treasures. His party includes characters such as Linear Cannon, a healer and gun-toting butler.
Weapons known as Cyframes can be upgraded to provide additional options, including slash and cannon attacks. Linear Cannon is the only character who uses traditional magic, while other party members use FP for special attacks such as Mag's “Crushing Hammer Blow.” Characters also have abilities that become unavailable for several battles after use.
