Devolution Duel

Local and online arena shooter

Devolution Duel is a PC arena shooter for 2 to 4 players, with local and online matches. You can play 1v1 or 2v2, mix couch and online players, or set up a 1v2 match. There’s no single-player mode or bots, and online play uses friend invites rather than open lobbies.

Rounds and devolutions

Run, dash and shoot to beat your opponents. There are no power-ups: instead, losing a round makes you draw three devolutions, then choose one for your enemy. Each devolution is a penalty that stays with its player for the rest of the match. They can stack, and seemingly mild penalties can combine into more damaging effects.
