Multiwinia is, at the most basic level, a multi-platform and multi-player sequel to Introversion’s second game, Darwinia.

This little indie developer is the first and foremost champion of Valve’s Steam platform, standing as a testament to the power of digital distribution and the money that is still undeniably caught up in the PC audience and is just waiting to be tapped. So, for all intents and purposes the larger audience probably shouldn’t know about the company or what games it has made.Īnd yet, at the same time, Introversion has somehow climbed to a position of power and respect within the industry. Has the company yet released a massive, AAA billion-pound game? No. Does the company have a huge advertising budget and links to major publishers? No. Is Introversion a small indie developer? Yes. It’s just that I can never pin down where Introversion falls exactly on the scale of things. Not in a malicious haha-I-put-tabasco-sauce-all-over-the-only-loo-roll-in-the-flat type way, of course. Also, they sent me a little toy Darwinian as a present, which was very nice of them.īut, I have to admit, I sometimes hate writing articles about them. The guys there are smart, helpful and good at what they do. You know, I love Introversion - like really, really love them. Give it a try, you'll love it.Multiwinia Hands-On Preview Developer: Introversion It has that flavor of the old classics but all the power of the new generation multiplayer games. It is very easy to play but very hard to master, so it will give you hours of fun.

The war lasts a certain time and when the time is finished, the team that has more creatures in the part of the map you have to conquer is the winner. you choose a group of stickmen and send them to a place of the map, when the circle around that place gets your color, you have conquered it and if it is a stickman creation part, your army will be bigger and bigger and you'll have more creatures to battle your enemies. You army will be bigger and bigger when you'll conquer some parts of the map which are stickman creators. You control an army of stickmen and your goal is different depending on the level, but usually you have to conquer a certain part of the map.

The environment where the war takes place is great, very well designed and colorful. When you first play Multiwinia you get surprised.
