Fossil Hunters vs Survival Island: Evolve
Fossil Hunters
Fossil Hunters is a cute anime-like action-adventure game where you play as an archeologist who has been selected to join an elite team of your peers. However, you arrived on the excavation site only to find that everyone else has gone ahead without you and that they have gotten themselves stuck down there somehow. Now, you will have to descend through the many levels of excavation floors in order to save them.Each floor is sectioned off by a mysterious force field which prevents you from immediately descending to the lowest level. Instead, you will need to solve what seems to be a "fossil jigsaw puzzle" by sloting in fossil fragments that you find by clearing away dirt. The game ramps up the difficulty soon after by introducing landslides and weird little creatures whose favorite food is apparently the fossils you excavated. These creatures are afraid of lights though, and as such, you can purchase and place excavation lamps around the work site to deter any creatures from gobbling up the fossiles you've fixed into place... or you can just hit them to scare them away... you know, whichever works best for you!
Fossil Hunters is also a co-op game as well, allowing up to 4 players to play together. If this sounds just like the sort of casual adventure game you enjoy, make sure to check out the game on Steam!
Survival Island: Evolve
Survival Island: Evolve is a different sort but "work-in-progress" survival game that may not look like much but is pretty well-made. In this game, you'll need to mine for resources; craft a variety of items; hunt various beasts, both large and small, as well as build your very own base. There are plenty of stuff for you to scavenge too by simply exploring every corner of the island you're stranded on. The game also supports co-operative gameplay along with a single player mode.However, the game seems to have a rather odd theme. It's prehistoric in some way since there are dinosaurs and yet the other animals that you can hunt in the game seem to be rather modern-looking (in terms of evolution).
That said, Survival Island: Evolve is a pretty good mobile version of a prehistoric survival game that fills a niche of demands and as such, the game has enjoyed a sizeable number of installs on Google Play. The game is only available on Android.
