I find it kind of ironic that "herbivore aggression" is a slay-able offense in-game but in the game's location and setting, the herbivores irl are naturally overly aggressive because thats literally how they SURVIVE LOL
the admins who run the servers on this game are pussy hippies. they have ruined the game from the start. "Hey elephant you cant go kill the lion right next too you!!!!" just because the admins run around as lions and dont want to die. but they cant bite you first though
its not based on reality tho, they messed up the stats so rules are in place so to match the power scaling in game, that server specifically you can be aggressive if provoked or has a child, but like dude they rlly fked the power scaling on this shit game xD so if a rhino was allowed to be aggressive like based in reality they would kill everyone as rhinos are the 2nd strongest in the game and its charge attack doubles its base which is already around 2k
@@sleepydevil8208 so what you grow a herbivore and if you're attacked by carnivores you're just supposed to run or die since yk, not every herbivore in the game can outrun a predator? What's the point of playing then? That's so obnoxious. Why is that the players problem LOL
@@yukiiasakii9758 No, you can defend yourself, and trust me they can, almost every herbivore can out run the predator in this game(the ones you expect TO be able to run I should say), but ALOT of them can also do a shit ton of damage to mostly defend themselves an also skill is a part of it. If youre good at the game you know what battles to avoid, for example raffs can hit hard as fuck but if they need to run they can out stam lions. Dogs are slow, but have almost infinite stam but they dont hit too hard, Eles cant run for shit, therefore they have the most health and second heavy hitting attack only 2nd to rhino. Kudus, boars and leopards are the only animals that rlly just suck overall LMAO leopards especially Zebras also KINDA suck they nerfed them which was stupid, but they have one of the fastest sprints for a herbi their size Actually Carnis are more likely to attack eachother due to the strength of herbivores LMAO- sadly due to how shit the game is you likely will die to lag or a bug
This server: no aggressive herbivores Meanwhile the game: literally has a hippopotamus and Cape buffalo in the game, two of the most aggressive herbivores on the planet! One is just a psycho and the other attacks lions on sight
a stupid server rules fo carnivores, thats it, as usual in survival games. Somehow people think that all herbivores should behave like cows or sheep. Dumb as fuck
@@Anupamprime Evrima is still dogshit. Super laggy whenever you enter combat even with only 1 other dino. Max of only 150 players on a server. Game has broken hitboxes 10 times worse than legacy ever had. Probably why the servers are always dead on this game now.
I stopped playing this shit after being told not to defend a group member that was killed. The chat was spamming “stop it”. We’ve had a lion hop inside of a den to kos (which is against the rules) and the lion player was told nothing. The rules are dumb as hell 😭💀
Not sure if anyone else has commented on this but the sound that the Shoebill bird made is how they actually sound, same thing with the croc squeak. Just well, the croc's don't make that sound often irl, usually only when babies and the shoebill's sfx was badly edited and cut short. Sounds like they just grabbed a youtube video mp3 and shortened it.
God dammit I just desperately want a survival game where I can play as a lion. Imagine a game like WolfQuest, but instead of wolves, it was lions instead. You could make such an unbelievably fantastic game based on lions with how awesome the species is!! Imagine getting ready to try and fight another male lion for dominance over a pride while lionesses fear for the worst as they hide their cubs, watching the impending battle. Or maybe you're a lioness having to escape to protect your cubs after the male leading your pride gets defeated by a rival male, doing whatever it takes to see your cubs live another day. Literally such a fantastic concept that I doubt I'll ever get to see in a game. :,(
@@mrbeardmTV I remember hearing about a similar game being in the works a while back but I haven't seen anything from it since. I forgot what it is called unfortunately.
I have thought about the fact that a Wolfquest but with Lions would have a fair actual game niche. It’s a charismatic species with alot of intrigue from the get go, and you would only need to focus on one playable and not try to come up with a bunch of different gameplay loops that are both fun, consistant, and encourages people to actually play like animals. That seems to be the main thing alot of animal survival games fall flat on, despite how fun it sounds in actuality. Wolfquest *does* actually manage to make people act like how a large predator would. In the summer when the player has pups, the meta is to go after calves and beavers because they are the easiest food source, which means you can spend more time around your pups and guarding them against den raids, and you have intrest in raising your pups due to cosmetic and somewhat stat reasons, besides being cute as fuck. Of course you can still play by killing the most dangerous animals and you can cheese the game in some ways, but there is a strong incentive to play first as intended. Arguably some unintended ways to play the game also still make sense- you can choose to indefinetly stay a nomad and keep your pups around a patch of grass instead of a den, and I believe it has the advantage of a lack of flea build up. It doesn’t break immersion that hard because it’s an obvious assumption that the pups would spread fleas less in spacious grass rather than when cramped together in a den. Wolfquest is a damn shining gem in animal survival games Edit: Atleast that’s my limited insight of why Wolfquest is consistently succesfull at it’s goals even if relatively niche and what I can gauge of their game philosophy. A deeper analysis might be worth it from someone that knows more about gamedev than I do. And speaking about Lions- the obvious difference that you would run into when attempting a Lionquest is the massive sexual dimorphism compared to wolves. Wolves aren’t different enough on a sex basis to warrant different gameplay, but you would have to atleast have 2 seperate campaigns, though having a seperate campaign for a maned lioness would be cool since current research indicates they tend to have a somewhat unique role in prides- they tend to patrol like males but also raise cubs to atleast some extent if they are fertile and receptive to breeding. They aren’t 'standard' in a lion pride per see but humans appreciate the unique and unusual in stories, and presuming uncommon but documented coats would be an option in this game, their uncommones alone wouldn’t be a reason enough to exclude them. It would also capture the reality of life much more- we make boxes where we generalize our experiences into, but nature is not bound by such things.
The squeaking sound is an accurate hatchling croc sound but I don't understand why it does it when you attack. But also you weren't really a hatchling based on your size compared to the environment anyway. This game seems more unfinished than DoD with even worse monetization. It's sad because this game looked promising a few years ago.
Basically its Day of Dragons but with fur. And they don’t even spell the animals names right. You are totally right. Day of Dragons and Animalia are religions
I had a positive experience a few years ago. Was playing as a fully grown pregnant elephant. Got attacked by a pride of lions and had an epic battle to fight them off! It was super fun! But not the same game it was then.
I said it before, i'll say it again, this game is LSD simulator lmao. The devs might have had a bit too much of the hallucinogenic vines themselves when making it...
I tried telling the community some red flags before they released the legacy skins out to the public. No one listened to me and would rather spend $150 just for skins. The legacy role was supposed to be for folks who donated before the game became public, meaning that the role will no longer be obtainable after the game being released in really access to the public. Until I found out they were selling JUST the skins through dm’s, to players begging the head dev to let them buy the skins of him after the role was closed. I was in a call with random people playing on the same server when I noticed one of the players I was in a call with had an albino legacy skin. Being a legacy member I did not recognize them, and they didn’t even have the role in their (animalia) discord. I became suspicious and started asking question, how they obtained the skins, when did they become a legacy supporter, etc. She openly admitted that she dm’d the head dev asking to purchase the skins and he said yes. I confronted the devs about this including their head admins, etc. I exposed them in the hidden legacy chat, letting other supporters see what was going on behind the scenes. They had all switched gears and then released an announcement the next day saying that they are releasing the role for everyone to purchase permanently. When, after months and months of the devs and admins have stated that they will not open the role after the game releases, but there will be roles like it for players to purchase and support the game. They also hid a lot of their channels for a “clean up” that was only to hide evidence that I showed people and other folks bashing them for money grabbing. Going behind your original supporters back to gain a buck or two after stating that the role will be unobtainable. To resolve the conflict they made, the original supporters got a new role called “early supporter.” Even then, people who were not an original supporter got the new role, and even his friends who haven’t paid a dime. That’s where development really went downhill and why it’s lost the funding to make the game better.
There was one time where my friend and I spawned into the game and we got stuck in a small square of the map. There was no way to escape. We were quite literally barricaded in by 4 invisible walls. We tried separating opposite directions multiple times to see if there was something we missed or if we were at a weird corner of the map but nope. Was the worst hour of my life just walking around in a desolate squared off space on the map. We were able to see all the texts of everyone inside it and apparently we weren't the only one experiencing this. Such a weird experience. Also the fact that only carnivores are only allowed to be aggressive is just a weird rule to have in a server. Herbivories are like a thousand times more aggressive than predators most of the time since they are always competing for resources. Such a silly addition to that server.
"I like that the water goes down and people have to move" HAHAHA yeah, no. When the water at the main spot dries up, the whole chat is nothing but people screaming for rain so they dont have to leave.
The amount of times I had to join a discord call about rule breaks was insane. Admins in animalia servers have god complexes. I had a admin tell me to literally off myself and they just warned him. I was 16 at the time LOL.
2:28 roblox games look better then this lmao it costs as much as the isle and the isle is sooo much better even if you dont like animals and you have to choose, buy the isle fr
Only good thing about animalia is how the water works. I.E., drains the more you drink, to the point of completely drying up. And even then, BoB has that feature in spades, and then some, soooooo, muut entirely lmao
@@AgnyAgne It’s sad to see what the game has become. Don’t be too mad about it, you wanted to support something you enjoyed, sadly the game turned out way different than anyone thought
Got into the isle recently and think it’s a really cool concept and got to thinking “hey what if we had the isle but modern day” and found this game. Kinda sad to see it’s pretty dead. Seems like this would be actually pretty cool.
I was thinking of getting this game a few months ago, the concept looked pretty fun. Thanks for saving my time and money, christ on a bike this looks abysmal
When it first came out, the game was Awesome and fun, we had one if not THE most Popular Server, but it didnt took long, for the old The isle Player to get on this game so it became verry verry toxic really Quickliy. Gave me as an Admin on the Server almost a Mental Breakdown. I steped away from the game after a while, because i couldnt take the lags und the People anymore. been watching it since without playing it anyome and by now, im glad i dont play it anymore, it whent down hill really quickly and as nice as the Devs where, they refuse to hire people that really work on their game, only use Blueprints in Coding, a reason why its performance is shit, and only Buy Models for their animals instead of finding someone that makes them for them. By now its just a Cash cow, i mean... you have to Pay money to get White or Black Animals, something that is out there in Nature rare but its there. And then you can buy stupid ugly skins that have nothing to do, with a animal Survival Game...
@@SilverStormWolf Oh damn, I’m sorry you had to deal with all that as an admin. Sadly reading this and hearing how the devs approached this project with only using blueprints and bought assets, it was destined to fail. At least it brought us some joy when it did back in the day.
I had similar experience. I really liked this game at the beginning, it was fun, I played it a lot and saw potential in it. Then it started to break apart, then the lag happened and I stopped to playit for year, came back and found tons of toxic players, and lots, lots of bugs. Sad because I liked it when it was playable.
Animal survival games are bad or mid, but mostly bad. Why is this genre of games so hard to make? Ive been literally just being playing Creatures of Sonaria from roblox because I had more fun there somehow, even when it barely is a "survival" game. Is there a good animal survival game I dont know of?
These kind of game are really complex. It's hard to make when there's so many different animals to make to deal with. The only very good game I know is wolf quest anniversary edition. You must probably know about it but I'm telling you just in case.
Did you just call the Meerkat "Meek-rat" ? Thanks a lot . I´ll never be able to unhear that and meerkats will now be Meek-rats forever. Also , next time spawn at westlake. That´s where everybody hangs out :) ( Wait. let me log in . Did they finally destroy the game now ? @ graphics ) ADDITION : Checked back on the game , it´s still not the best game out there , but the game looks normal for me. No moving trees , working sounds and normal graphic. I guess you played with very low graphic settings ; ) When it comes to damage : as you grow you get "points" you have to open your character chart and put them in - or you are stuck on your base stats. It´s not easy to get a hang of it , but you can have quite some fun in this game
I almost bought it a few months back but chose not to because I noticed the dev team basically gave up on it and nothing good was ever to come again, these were words by RUclipsrs who were trying to make a living playing this game
8:37-8:40 "So this is Harry Potter and the Order of the Nile Crocodile" 😂😂🐊 "Am I trippin or are the trees moving, the trees are sinking into the ground hello?" One thing I don't get is the snow.
The playerbase of this game is extremely toxic. At least, the few people that do play it lol. I had a horrible experience and was bullied and harassed because someone lied and said I attacked them when I didn't
Oh hey, I used to "work" for that server like a year ago, and did so for...3-5 months I think? I actually recognize some of the names in chat LMAO. Amazing how they play. I got fired for inactivity, essentially. Got burnt out, has poor mental health, and was bogged down by my old job. I stayed in communication, was put in a role that allowed some freedom with time, but was let go the DAY I started getting back into the game and doing Tickets. That community had some genuine, lovely people...but that was not the majority. Not to mention their staff retention rate was...pretty telling. A lot of people quit because they were tired of shit going on behind the scenes, were overworked, or were fired for relatively bullshit (admittedly) reasons. Not to mention the half of the Heads of each role were a toss up on whether they were a cool person or someone entirely grating. Admittedly though, I had a lot of fun with the friends I made there, so it wasnt all doom and gloom. Sometimes a shitty game can be tolerable and worth wile with the right people, and under the right circumstances. 10/10 sould refund this game and the DLC now if I could, though.
@@IkfesS wait is the game actually made by ea bc I thought it was an indie and what kind of DLC exactly bc if it’s like new playable that’s an awful idea for games like these imagining deino, Herrera, or Rex were dlc for evrima
Played this game since launch but still no pounce mechanic has been improved across their carnivore rosters. Wild Savannah from Roblox game is way more better and realistic combat
I loved this game years ago I was often an Gnu leader from a Pack of 20 people and all players was playing realistic but since the New map.... Everything was just...welp its sad
The same for Artemishea. Or... How was it called. The first game in current version is GREAT, somewhat, it was fun and not overwhelmed with animals But then they released the Cenozoic Era and it's so messed up. Awful location of snowy arctica and deserts with jungles, northern animals alongside with damn rhinos and SARCO damn The Wilds is a gem, however. I love it
Not really a ripoff, wild Savannah has been around for yearsss, and yeah it is getting a recode, and this time the devs know about the animals they are working on. It should be great
Few years ago I bought this game with some Christmas money because it was on sale. Didn't take long to realize how boring and lion infested the game was so I got it refunded in less than 30 minutes. Best decision of my life.
Yes, its a little buggy. Yes, there are wierd and random glitches. But no game is perfect. Evrima isnt perfect, yet i really enjoy it. Have fun with the hilariousness of it. It'll get better in time. 😊

2:28 roblox games look better then this lmao it costs as much as the isle and the isle is sooo much better even if you dont like animals and you have to choose, buy the isle fr
Only good thing about animalia is how the water works. I.E., drains the more you drink, to the point of completely drying up. And even then, BoB has that feature in spades, and then some, soooooo, muut entirely lmao
Really, I'm so mad with myself bc I trusted the crow funding campaign and gave money to devs for this
@@AgnyAgne It’s sad to see what the game has become. Don’t be too mad about it, you wanted to support something you enjoyed, sadly the game turned out way different than anyone thought
12:50 That's Why i Like The Isle More...
Deino Can One shot almost anything
Got into the isle recently and think it’s a really cool concept and got to thinking “hey what if we had the isle but modern day” and found this game. Kinda sad to see it’s pretty dead. Seems like this would be actually pretty cool.
There's some other modern survival games coming, but we have to wait and see how they do.
even on roblox there are games that are better than it like bea honestly it's a shame
I was thinking of getting this game a few months ago, the concept looked pretty fun.
Thanks for saving my time and money, christ on a bike this looks abysmal
@@thechickenwizard8172 Glad I could help! :)))
When it first came out, the game was Awesome and fun, we had one if not THE most Popular Server, but it didnt took long, for the old The isle Player to get on this game so it became verry verry toxic really Quickliy. Gave me as an Admin on the Server almost a Mental Breakdown. I steped away from the game after a while, because i couldnt take the lags und the People anymore. been watching it since without playing it anyome and by now, im glad i dont play it anymore, it whent down hill really quickly and as nice as the Devs where, they refuse to hire people that really work on their game, only use Blueprints in Coding, a reason why its performance is shit, and only Buy Models for their animals instead of finding someone that makes them for them. By now its just a Cash cow, i mean... you have to Pay money to get White or Black Animals, something that is out there in Nature rare but its there. And then you can buy stupid ugly skins that have nothing to do, with a animal Survival Game...
@@SilverStormWolf Oh damn, I’m sorry you had to deal with all that as an admin. Sadly reading this and hearing how the devs approached this project with only using blueprints and bought assets, it was destined to fail. At least it brought us some joy when it did back in the day.
I had similar experience. I really liked this game at the beginning, it was fun, I played it a lot and saw potential in it. Then it started to break apart, then the lag happened and I stopped to playit for year, came back and found tons of toxic players, and lots, lots of bugs. Sad because I liked it when it was playable.
Animal survival games are bad or mid, but mostly bad. Why is this genre of games so hard to make? Ive been literally just being playing Creatures of Sonaria from roblox because I had more fun there somehow, even when it barely is a "survival" game. Is there a good animal survival game I dont know of?
These kind of game are really complex. It's hard to make when there's so many different animals to make to deal with.
The only very good game I know is wolf quest anniversary edition. You must probably know about it but I'm telling you just in case.
one of the few game developers who manage to make the game worse with every update
Did you just call the Meerkat "Meek-rat" ? Thanks a lot . I´ll never be able to unhear that and meerkats will now be Meek-rats forever. Also , next time spawn at westlake. That´s where everybody hangs out :) ( Wait. let me log in . Did they finally destroy the game now ? @ graphics )
ADDITION : Checked back on the game , it´s still not the best game out there , but the game looks normal for me. No moving trees , working sounds and normal graphic. I guess you played with very low graphic settings ; )
When it comes to damage : as you grow you get "points" you have to open your character chart and put them in - or you are stuck on your base stats.
It´s not easy to get a hang of it , but you can have quite some fun in this game
@@schattenfellvomwaldfuchscl5804 :))) It sounds better that way
i came to say this lmao
You're funny as hell my dude. Been laughing so hard that my head hurts lol.
@@Ant-Woord eyy that’s my goal 😎
This game went downhill years ago
Been watching it's downfall since 2021 xD
I almost bought it a few months back but chose not to because I noticed the dev team basically gave up on it and nothing good was ever to come again, these were words by RUclipsrs who were trying to make a living playing this game
8:37-8:40 "So this is Harry Potter and the Order of the Nile Crocodile" 😂😂🐊 "Am I trippin or are the trees moving, the trees are sinking into the ground hello?" One thing I don't get is the snow.
Brooo that croc LMAO
@@wrench2093 :)))
@@mrbeardmTV That face, and the jump when you got out of the water hahaha
The playerbase of this game is extremely toxic. At least, the few people that do play it lol. I had a horrible experience and was bullied and harassed because someone lied and said I attacked them when I didn't
Oh hey, I used to "work" for that server like a year ago, and did so for...3-5 months I think?
I actually recognize some of the names in chat LMAO. Amazing how they play.
I got fired for inactivity, essentially. Got burnt out, has poor mental health, and was bogged down by my old job. I stayed in communication, was put in a role that allowed some freedom with time, but was let go the DAY I started getting back into the game and doing Tickets.
That community had some genuine, lovely people...but that was not the majority. Not to mention their staff retention rate was...pretty telling. A lot of people quit because they were tired of shit going on behind the scenes, were overworked, or were fired for relatively bullshit (admittedly) reasons. Not to mention the half of the Heads of each role were a toss up on whether they were a cool person or someone entirely grating.
Admittedly though, I had a lot of fun with the friends I made there, so it wasnt all doom and gloom. Sometimes a shitty game can be tolerable and worth wile with the right people, and under the right circumstances.
10/10 sould refund this game and the DLC now if I could, though.
At least the Isle looks good. Despite the fact both are basically the same thing
Have you seen primal earth and the hunted they look like this game but better
@@JorgePerez-yg4so yeah Primal Earth looks cool!
adding it to my wishlist now it looks amazing
The hunted I found it strange that the game wasn't ready and already had several DLCs planned, is that strange, EA Games?
@@IkfesS wait is the game actually made by ea bc I thought it was an indie and what kind of DLC exactly bc if it’s like new playable that’s an awful idea for games like these imagining deino, Herrera, or Rex were dlc for evrima
@@JorgePerez-yg4so it's an indie game, not made by EA
Played this game since launch but still no pounce mechanic has been improved across their carnivore rosters. Wild Savannah from Roblox game is way more better and realistic combat
Crazy dlc is more expensive than the isle …
I loved this game years ago I was often an Gnu leader from a Pack of 20 people and all players was playing realistic but since the New map.... Everything was just...welp its sad
So I didn't miss out on much by refunding it way back. BUt they actually gave up on the game, like it had more potential before, what have they done
@@RainbowdashLT lmao actual good choice
The same for Artemishea. Or... How was it called. The first game in current version is GREAT, somewhat, it was fun and not overwhelmed with animals
But then they released the Cenozoic Era and it's so messed up. Awful location of snowy arctica and deserts with jungles, northern animals alongside with damn rhinos and SARCO damn
The Wilds is a gem, however. I love it
The trees are up to something man😂
@@Waterproof-Frog :)))
I knew it would be bad from my experience with Roblox games of the same style
Tbh, I like to play this, just don’t have the money 😭
Fun fact is actually a rip off of a Roblox game called wild Savannah by the way that Roblox game is still getting a big update
Not really a ripoff, wild Savannah has been around for yearsss, and yeah it is getting a recode, and this time the devs know about the animals they are working on. It should be great
Is it "fully released" or still in the works?
@@yannaedc5934 still in the catacombs unfortunately
@@mrbeardmTV :c
what's wrong with Roblox? ive seen Roblox games better than this
@@KristianIsVeryVeryTall nothing wrong with Roblox :)
prior extinction is 100x better than this game, and it's on roblox. honestly if prior extinction moved to steam it would explode in popularity
@@SirPigeon420yes it's embarrassing
This guys accent is so funny when he get worked up😅
This video is hilarious lmfaooo also i love your accent
I’m glad you like it! Thank you!
Finally an Animalia player who’s not delusional
@@Rocketbunny1417 lmao :)))
Few years ago I bought this game with some Christmas money because it was on sale. Didn't take long to realize how boring and lion infested the game was so I got it refunded in less than 30 minutes. Best decision of my life.
Yes sir
Primal Earth is in VERY early alpha but I think it will blow this poo game away. This game suuuuuucccckkkkksssss sooooooo much oml 💀
Yes, its a little buggy. Yes, there are wierd and random glitches. But no game is perfect. Evrima isnt perfect, yet i really enjoy it. Have fun with the hilariousness of it. It'll get better in time. 😊
wow i never thought i'd see a game that made me WISH i was playing isle evrima instead
This video had me kaughing so hard! Several times I just busted out laughing. 🤣 The woods of miracles. The trees going up and down and the 2D tree. 😂😂😂😂 IM ready for Primal Earth! ❤
@@tylerstrong1776 Glad you liked it!
it looks like this game came straight outta roblox
Dino simulator on roblox has so many different dinos and skins and half of then look better than other games. Dino sim needs a real game made by the same people imo
Real money to reset status? Very funny 🤣
Bro slandered BoB when bob is prob the best of the three atm
I used to play this game. Tried playing last week and the community is literally 99% furries and weirdos
YOU NEED TO PLAY PRIMAL EARTH WHEN IT COMES OUT !! It's already way better.
Definitely will!
We rly need primal earth or the hunted etc
still better than day of dragons
There is a simular game on Roblox that was made in 2013 and still works better lol!
This looks like roblox execpt there is a roblox game that does that better
i enjoy'd this game and hoped it would get better like the isle
Thanks for confirming that I shouldn’t waste my money on this crap
:)))
bro this is terrible! paying for THAT????!!! and rules? ew xD
fr tho, id spend tons of money on skins, they coulda done that instead idk this just feels like a total waste of money thatd completely put me off playing it ever again:>
20:03 what? Dinosaurs? Are you high? Guess you need to be to endure this Game🙃
I play too many dinosaur games lol
@@mrbeardmTV 🤔 Makes me wonder, do you know a Dinosaur Survival Game which was also supposed to have environmmental Storytelling and Aliens researching Earth?
It looked very promising but it has been a few Years since I've seen something about it and I can't remember the Games Title
Waiting for that pc
I bought it.....I can't refund it now
I got gifted this game for free, this is literally a mobile game
Under the water is very pretty! Above the water? Mid
I hate the join our discord thing to see more rules on games like just put simple rules im barly on discord anyway and wil probably not play the game for a while once im bored
I love african the isle… god damn is the dev strange why does he port it to mobile …
The game is a joke and the only active server is so trash its unbelievable lmao
wild savannah solos ngl
legacy isle still has more players than this LMAO
I played when It was a disaster it was epic my bf wrote a funny review
Hogwarts survival more like
The graphics suck and the animal designs look so unfinished
