Watch: The Adventures of Darwin

I was pleasantly surprised that D3 Publisher chose to localize the Simple 2000 vol. 99: The Origin of Man. Unlike other D3 Publisher games this does not have giant bugs or zombies chasing ambulances. The Adventures of Darwin is kind of like Pikmin meets Civilization. You control Darwin the monkey and lead a group of primates through dinosaur hunts using your “knuckle sandwiches”. Later on your tribe evolves to intelligent cavemen who can build tools like axes. Like its Japanese counterpart D3 Publisher is selling the game as a budget title with a retail price of $19.99 on June 19. While you’re waiting you can see some gameplay footage of D3 Publisher’s creative title past the break.
