#Multiwinia mac Pc
Multiwinia is a stripped down and streamlined multiplayer-only version of its forebear, designed mostly as an add-on to the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade release of Darwinia we're reviewing the PC standalone version that will retail at £20 or £15 for the downloadable version. Like Lemmings, the player mostly exerts control over the Darwinians through indirect influence or by 'upgrading' them to controllable units the former, at least, hasn't changed.
#Multiwinia mac series
Your task is to rebuild the virtual ecosystem through a series of pseudo-RTS-style missions. Darwinia follows a race of virtual life forms, the Darwinians, whose simple server-side world (the eponymous Darwinia) is corrupted by a particularly nasty strain of virus, picked up from email spam. Some necessary background might be required to fully understand Multiwinia, however. All of these projects share the team's love of non-fussy, yet always engrossing, game mechanics and refreshingly lo-fi old-school charm. They're the guys behind the multi-award-winning Uplink, Defcon, Darwinia and now the latter game's follow-up, Multiwinia. If you're unfamiliar with the deliberately retro stylings of Britain's self-proclaimed Last of the Bedroom Programmers, then meet Introversion.
