Your life for the Hive?
Say hello to the newest browser-based fantasy game from the inter web! As with all respected
browser games, to play Draco all you need is your browser; no downloads are necessary. And
the game is completely free! Get ready to start your journey to the stars and beyond in an
epic quest of galactic conquest with the Zerg... pardon, the Avatar.
Developer Evolution Vault, know for its browser-based games Xeno and Asgard Heroes,
provided us with the opportunity to test their latest game Draco, before its official release, few
days from now. The story of the game is that the Avatar has awakened and the Prime Evils
ascended into space, searching for fresh blood. Highly efficient killers with the sole purpose of
consuming all living, "the Avatars are a symbiotic species which assimilated millions of hosts
throughout the galaxy, in order to thrive and be able to modify their surroundings." This peculiar race uses energy from the sun to power their metabolisms and to fuel the
accelerated growth of their larvae. The Avatar also feeds on natives and drinks argon - a green
gas in a high-energy state which they need to stay alive. The aliens have some cool structures
which, apparently, stayed buried deep underground for centuries, waiting to be triggered. I
think the trigger was the evolution of the intelligent life; smart enough to modify its
surroundings but foolish enough to alert the dormant predators.
The game play itself is fairly straightforward if you've ever played any of the more traditional
browser games, such as Travian. During the demo I played against their community manager
on a speed server, testing out different strategies for three days. The demo was short - in
terms of browser-based games' timeline - but the action was intense. Regardless, I enjoyed
the game play and was lucky to try the Avatar because it really stands out when compared
with the other race available in the game, the Asgardians.
The Avatar units also look cool with their sharp weapons and hardened armors, standing ready
to defend the Hive with their lives. The Avatars are really fanatic and sadistic in nature and I
loved every second of it. After leveling my warriors and obtaining new resources from my first
loots to spend on production development, I raised my eyes to the sky.
Because ground combat is not all you get in this game! There are also air units in Draco, well,
more like space units, true winged nightmares which drove off attackers from my colony,
enough to allow me to send my spies to the enemy's outpost and link it with my Hellmouth,
which is basically a portal through which I send my surface hunters. Yep, fresh meat indeed,
the enemy had no chance against my ravenous aliens and has shortly proclaimed me winner.
Of course there are no winners and losers in this game; you can build vaults to protect your
resources indefinitely (or until an enemy downgrades it). Regardless, for the sake of this
demo, I was declared winner and the enemy gladly resigned, making a point. And the point
was that the game is fun to play in your spare time, when you want to relax a little.
Getting back to the game, you should know that evolution is never complete for the Avatar.
Bloodthirsty to the extreme, these guys will always seek out new ways to further evolve
themselves and become more efficient killers. The game delivered on all counts. It had
beautiful graphics, gritty races, unique units, researches, and a great strategic combat system.
I walked away impressed with the amount of care and communication coming from the
developer, and looking forward to getting my hands on Draco when the server goes public, in
the next week or so.
