In Hungry Shark Evolution, you take control of a hungry predator and must survive the depths of the ocean by consuming fish, turtles, and even unwary swimmers. As you eat, you earn coins and gems to level up your shark and unlock even more powerful species. From the Reef Shark to the legendary Megalodon, the ocean is your buffet in this action-packed survival game.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Hungry Shark Evolution is the perfect digital outlet for a bad day. There is something fundamentally satisfying about growing from a small Reef Shark into a massive, mythical prehistoric monster. The game thrives on its 'eat everything' loop, but it stays interesting by hiding secrets, treasure, and dangerous enemies in every corner of the ocean.

The sense of progression is the real hook. Unlocking new sharks like the Great White or the Megalodon feels like a true achievement. The 'Gold Rush' mechanic provides those high-octane moments where you feel invincible. It’s arcade fun at its finest—fast, frantic, and just a little bit ridiculous in the best way possible.

Alright so I know you might not read what I’m going to say but may you please update the maps please 1.the map been the same since the game first came out and I know everyone waiting for a new map a new location more adventures 2 and please when you make the new map make it bigger then this one that we have now please 3.you should also change the sunken objects cause look the only thing changing are the sharks but sooner or later people are gonna start to think why would I play this game if all they do is add new sharks don’t get me wrong this game is heat it’s a awesome game but just please change the map I know it may be a lot of work but please a lot more people are gonna want to play and also 4.change the portal worlds everyone is tired of the ice and alien world that was made for the destroyer maybe you should do like a different theme and 5th please you should do this thing where everyone can play together well not everyone but like multiplayer and like different servers that would make the game super fun and one more thing add another monster besides the giant crab maybe make it different just not like hungry shark world and also if you do make a new map and have the crab make his location a little bigger with a lot of crabs like the angle fish lair that would be cool and add more sea craters that would be even better cause you guys only be adding new shark and it’s time for some change and to actually see the hungry shark evolution hopefully you take this into consideration

Best game since I had this device
Mon Jul 23 2018 wise gaming choices

This is the best games I have ever played! Money is not an issue you may get purchases just not those pets... Also, if you play well enough you can get the first special shark which I received(electro shark) then the game gets easier and coins and gems get more common! You can make purchases to speed up getting a better shark and it’s still great! I now get 5,000,000+ points per run and 5,000 coins per run. I love the diverse ranges of sharks and the game’s action. (I am currently playing to get my Pyro Shark) It is great and money isn’t issue when you get better. (Just those pets) And after you get your special sharks you can easily get the others and get the Jetpack for free(I don’t see why you need it cause Pyro Shark can fly and the new shark can copy it) I am addicted to this game everyday! I would like to see more ocean floors and more lairs like king crab(I am trying to beat him). On a related note, I’d like more portals to new worlds and prey to destroy! I love how you hide missions and daily challenges! I expect even greater in future! After all who wouldn’t like an intense and challenging game with great actions and slow motion!(I love tearing boats and submarines apart and going on land)

Too many sharks
Fri Feb 10 2023 Lt0624

The game is fun, I’ve played for a few hours and am using the Sharkjira and the Megalodon, however both have the same problem; there’s always something bigger. I will have been playing for a 10 minute run and an enemy 8 levels higher will spawn and instantly kill me, and that’s how almost all of the games end. Since there’s so many sharks and it takes more and more time per shark you either have to pay money or devote dozens of hours to level up, and even then you’ll still die to something bigger. Besides that the new sharks feel like they weren’t as developed, they’re more cartoony and lack the texturing that makes the earlier sharks look interesting, and the sharks don’t feel like they really add anything since by the Dunkleosteus almost everything in the map is at your mercy, so the new sharks are only ‘better’ because they can eat the new sharks. I would recommend that the leveling should’ve ended at either the Dunkleosteus or the Mosasaurus. That or some more texturing, design or features be added to the game to make the new sharks worth buying. With all that being said don’t take this as me not recommending the game. It’s a really fun way to burn some hours which I did because my laptop needed to be fixed. I wouldn’t say that time wasn’t worth it and I would recommend other friends to play it, I just feel like some of the ‘fat’ should be trimmed off of the game.

Great game but major glitch right now
Fri Dec 18 2020 COOLER!!!!

There is a glitch I don’t know if it’s just for the shark illuminate or not but a lot of the times when you die playing as illuminate and it glitches it doesn’t sent you back to the screen where you get your coins it stays on the screen that you die and you can’t do anything but close the tab and not get your coins that you were going to get otherwise. I have already lost over 15,000 coins with this glitch. Anyways off that rant this game is fun and I love playing it, it is addictive. The game does kind of have a pay to win but not really you can pay if you want to but you still have the choice to play normally it’s not forcing you to buy anything it throws it out there if you want to buy it and if you don’t you can grind to get the stuff you need to buy the thing you want because hard work gets you places in this game. Conclusion this game is fun and addictive it gives you a chance to buy things but you don’t have to you can work for that thing. Also I wanna tell you the way I find it fast to get new sharks fast. First I got a shark the costs money a really good shark but I only use that shark to get coins to buy new shark when I have enough coins I level up the shark then buy the new shark with the money I earned from the really good shark and repeat.

Has a few problems that I think need to be addressed
Fri Jul 02 2021 Mr.Illumino

I have been a fan of this game for a very long time, I played when the megalodon was the biggest shark and when there were only 3 lab sharks. But I believe a recent shark has broken the game, that is the dark hammerhead shark. Being much less than the megalodon of you would assume this shark had to be mediocre at most. But this thing is absolutely disgusting, it eats everything hint the megalodon eats and more. It has the gold rush or a normal hammerhead, allowing only seconds when it’s not activated. On top of this the gold rush was instakills anything it touches. And on top of that it can summon dark shadow sharks to help you combo the into huge gold rush sprees. This shark makes me feel like I’ve won the game, getting my gold rushes so quickly it feels as though I’m invulnerable. Frankly, it is ridiculous for me to get a shark for so little that can allow to play over half an hour games and make over 50k in gold without doubling it. And this shark is much better that the tiger shark evolution as well, with the gold rushes being so broken. The next problem I have is not so much gameplay wise. I don’t think it’s all right for a game to make fun of a tragic event for in history. A few decades ago something like this would be unacceptable, people knew others who died on the titanic. This makes me believe that decades from now someone is going to casually make fun of the twin towers attack, this in my opinion is wrong. You could put ice age animals in the artic portal or spear fisherman. But not a direct reference to an event we’re hundreds of people died.

Decent game until you buy in-game money
Tue Dec 15 2020 person that cares about money

I was enjoying this game and having a decent time until I saw the ghost shark. I thought it seemed pretty cool and it seemed overpowered so I decided to spend $50 to get it. At first I was a bit disappointed because you could only go through the walls during boosts but I decided to ignore it. One of the reasons I thought it would be so good was because I had never seen a ghoul rush before which is the only time it can be damaged. But apparently that’s not the case because every time you eat roughly 3 people or 5-6 reef sharks a ghoul rush happens. So at best you can go a few minutes without getting a ghoul rush. Another annoying part of ghoul rush is the fact that your health goes down about twice as fast as it would on a hammerhead or something. The speed is also a bit annoying during ghoul rush because I can’t see mines but I guess that part is not too bad. Another disappointing part is the fact that your health does go down when there is no ghoul rush. Slowly? Yes, but it still does so if your Health is low after after ghoul rush your chance of survival is pretty low if there are no fish around you. I know it’s a bit ridiculous but I wish there was a refund thing you can do for the first week. I know no other games do it so this part is not that bad but it would still be nice. Overall it is still a decent game and if your a person who wants to get it and not buy anything I think it’s a fun game. It does get boring and it’s basically the same thing over and over, but it’s fun for the first month or two (Sorry if my grammar is bad I tried to type this pretty quick)

Could be better
Thu Apr 11 2019 contentive

So I was comparing this game to their other shark game,Hungry Shark World. The first thing I noticed was that the graphics were so much worse than Hungry Shark World. The next thing is the depth. Hungry Shark World has no depth. This game does. Another thing is that all the sharks(at least at the beginning) all cost gems which are really hard to get. Hungry Shark World's Sharks cost money except for the rarer ones which if you wait long enough you can make them cost money or coins. The next thing is that gems are really hard to get and in Hungry Shark World you can find gem fish pretty much anywhere(at least I can). The next thing is speed or boost. In this game if you boost (or get a gold rush) you go so fast. Which is good is some ways but you'll understand how this is bad if you play the game. The animals and aquatic life go way to fast. You can't really catch a penguin unless you are on a gold rush(at least in the beginning). So my point is to all the people who want a good Shark game is go download their other Shark game,Hungry Shark World. This game isn't terrible but it isn't amazing like Hungry Shark World is. This game obviously came out before Hungry Shark World so I'm not going to complain to much because over all this is a great game! But I just want to say this one last time if you want an absolutely amazing Shark game get Hungry Shark World.

One major upgrade is needed
Mon Apr 20 2020 dogjeans 7

I really like this game, so much so that I haven’t had it for a week and am already to Big Daddy. But this is where the problem lies, is one of the missions of BD. I try to complete every mission before I move on to the next shark, and have been successful. But, I don’t think I’m gonna be able to do it with BD. I have 7/9 missions done, but the last one I have to do is to eat 30 cage people. That wouldn’t be so bad, EXCEPT HALF THE TIME, THE CAGE PEOPLE ARE THE SPEAR GUN GUYS, WHICH FOR SOME REASON DON’T COUNT!!! I spent 30 minutes in a single game trying to complete this mission. I would’ve completed it in 15 minutes, but the retarded spear gun guys are the ones in the cage over half the time. PLEASE MAKE THE SPEAR GUYS COUNT!! To clear up any confusion, I know there are random diver guys with spear guns but I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about the spear gun guys that are in the cages sometimes 3 together or one single guy, but for whatever reason, they don’t count as cage people, EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE IN CAGES! That game I spent 30 minutes playing on, I GOT FREAKIN 29 DIVERS EATEN! I WAS AT 97%! You should be able to continue as many times as you want, but with the price of gems still going up. I paid all the way up to 10 gems to revive myself, just to die of hunger 10 seconds later. THATS ANOTHER THING, MAKE THE HEALTH GO DOWN A BIT SLOWER PLEASE! I once was playing and had lasted for 30 minutes, and died of hunger. I then revived myself, AND LITERALLY, NO JOKE, 5 SECONDS LATER I DIED OF HUNGER AGAIN! Other than these major problems, I really love this game and think it’s really good.
