About this game
Advances in the development of games and applications have allowed us to enjoy great titles that were originally for computers and consoles on our mobile devices. In addition, the business model that allows you to download free games in exchange for viewing ads and making purchases only if the user wishes, allowed many of us to install applications without having to pay anything.
One of the big releases that made it to mobile phones was ARK: Survival Evolved. Now you can enjoy the great Studio Wildcard delivery wherever you want, at any time and in the palm of your hand.
Playing ARK: Survival Evolved on mobiles brings all the adrenaline, excitement and adventure of this world full of dinosaurs to your mobile. Find more than 80 extraordinary creatures that you can hunt, tame, train or capture. Not only that, you won't have to play alone but you can live the experience with friends and other users.
Like the original installment, we will find ourselves on an island full of mysteries to which we arrive without possessing absolutely anything. From there we must build our shelter and dominate the environment in order to survive.
Although it can be enjoyed individually, one of the advantages of ARK: Survival Evolved is that it can play multiplayer. Join a tribe to collaborate, cooperate and learn survival techniques from others that will make the game a much more fun experience. You will generate more rewards, resources and experience points.
If, on the other hand, you will seek to survive alone, you should know that each of the 80 dinosaurs that are on the map require a different strategy to dominate them. You can hunt them, ride them, train them or breed them. Depending on how you behave with them, you will achieve one or another goal.
ARK: Survival Evolved offers players endless possibilities. There is no single way to play and everyone carries their experience forward. The combinations of resources, food and strategies are almost endless and that is why the interaction with other players is very good. Learn new techniques, level up and improve your skills in this great installment from Studio Wildcard.
