About Evolvation
Evolvation is a fast‑paced, class‑based multiplayer arena shooter set in space. Players select from five distinct ship classes—Highspeed, Fighter, Tank, Stealth, and Support—each defining a primary combat role. Matches occur in an arena that never pauses, keeping the action continuous.
Developed by a two‑person team in Amsterdam, the game offers an extensive Hangar upgrade system with thousands of possible ship combinations. It runs on Windows and Linux, supports full controllers, and includes Steam features such as trading cards, leaderboards, and turn notifications.

Ship Classes

- Try each class in a short match to see which role feels most natural.
- Match your class choice to the team composition for balanced gameplay.
