Drive to Evolve is a game that sees you burning rubber through a vague history of the automobile. You’re passing through gates to pass through the ages, getting a shinier and more expensive car as you do. There’s cash to pick up as well, and extra challenges you can take on if you fancy it.
While it might look simple, then, there’s a lot going on here. Certainly enough that we thought it was a good idea to write you this guide. It’s made up of the finest strategies that we’ve picked up during our time playing Drive to Evolve, and now we’re only too glad to be sharing them with you.
Whether you’re still riding around in an old banger or you’ve already crushed up a future car for parts, there’s going to be something here that’s destined to take your skills to the next level. So here we go – these are the best hints, tips and cheats for Drive to Evolve.
Pick the right gate
It’s important to pass through the gate that’s going to give you the biggest bonus. Or, conversely, to pass through the one that’s going to do the least damage to the time-stream. Make sure you’re paying attention – sometimes the gates are in years, others they’re in months or days. Pick the right gate and make sure you’ve got the newest car when you hit the line.
Play the challenges
Sometimes there are roads that lead off the main path and offer challenges. It’s worth taking these on – some will give your chronology a huge boost, while offers will bag you a whole bunch of cash. They keep the grind a little bit fresher as well, which can never be a bad thing.
Build your cars
When you get to the end of the level, it’s worth taking your time to keep building your cars – especially if you want to unlock new vehicle styles. Stick the bolts into the machines, take the parts to the fabricators and see your new contraption coming to life before your very eyes.
Upgrade often
Because there are two currencies to the game, you should always have some cash to spend on upgrading your skills. While it’s tempting to throw money into the extra year upgrade – especially since it’s cheaper – to begin with, at least, you should focus on upping your earnings. It’s going to pay bigger dividends in the long run.
Clean your car
If you hit one of the puddles of mud, you should make sure that you hit the cleaning station afterwards. A clean car is going to get you more bolts, so it’s important to make sure it’s sparkling when you come to the end of the level. You can avoid the puddles, but if you don’t make sure you get a wash before you finish.
