I've installed the Cycle 2 days ago and did a few matches in solo-mode!
YES, they do have solo-mode, duo-mode and quad-mode! (BUT IT'S EARLY ACCESS)
It's always 20 players so 10 duos or 5 quads compete against each other.
Aaaaand, you can team up in solo-mode and build a duo,too!
But both players lose their shields to make it fair for the single players.
Instead of looting weapons, you run arround and harvest gas and minerals and complete other quests to gather points.
In each quest / harvest you need to fight PvE against wild animals, harder quests mean harder animals but more reward.
In the end you have to go to the center of the map where you have to fight some animals to get to the dropship.
The whole time of course you can attack other players, too.
You also can take over their gas-extractors or captured beacons for the information-quest.
Of course there is a fight for the drop ship, too!
You get cash from killed animals and other stuff you find.
During the whole match you can buy weapons and gadgets from a predifined list you can define for youself.
So far I can say, the endfight for the dropship is a huge drawback.
You have to enter an eroded Vulcano, which just has 2 entries.
Of course one team allready guards this position to kill all arriving players.
It would be much better with a random position on the map,
since some characters can place gunturrets what makes a great defence!
Also your predefined list of weapons and gadgets needs to be researched first.
You can't build every weapon right from the start.
So players who play longer have better weapons...
one more funfact: they also use easy anti cheat 😞
I saw shroud play the beta, and the PvE elements kinda put me off, it isn't my cup of tea.
All I want is for 2k/TRS to resurrect Evolve. I miss that game so much.
@ColdHours Evolve was my JAM, I LOVED THAT GAME. My favorite character was the lady in the mech with the powerfist thingy, something something more damage each consecutive hit. Favorite monster was the meteor goliath (the blue one I think?). Extra burn damage was so much fun.
@pastaclown Oh, you mean Lennox. Yeah she was cool. Sunny was the one I liked playing. As for monsters it was the Behemoth.
Fun fact: You can still play it. Just not against people in multiplayer. But you can solo it against bots or on p2p with friends. Just found this out today.
Loaded it up to see and it works! It's wonderful seeing it and all my elite skin unlocks as well as other cosmetics. However if you deleted it, then you cannot download it or get any of the progress back.
I'm definitely going to play it tomorrow and relive the nostalgia.
