So me and some lads from the furry gaming discord tried out the new F2P Evolve last night. Only one of us had any experience with the game, picked the cheesiest monster he could find, and proceeded to beat the piss out of the rest of us. With none of us knowing how to play I'll just say that the UI is one of the worst I've seen in awhile, cut that rant off at the base, and move onto the F2P model.
Basically the game gives you a rotation of 5 free characters, 1 for each class, so that no matter what role you are in you can play SOMEBODY, additional characters are purchased with "silver keys" that you acquire by playing the game or as daily login rewards. There is a selection of several daily login rewards every 24 hours, yes 24 hours have to pass from your last claim, you can't log in at 11:50, then again at 1:10, though I haven't actually worked out how to choose one reward over another. The game also throws out 3 challenges, 2 daily and 1 periodic, rewarding more keys or some kind of chest that there is no way of viewing or opening once you have received it.
In essence the F2P is very basic stuff, and relatively generous in that there is no premium currency whatsoever, but I can see why the underlying game had to stoop this low.
