About
Founded in 2012 and with $15M of venture capital raised to date, Super Evil Megacorp is determined to shatter preconceived notions about tablet gaming ... one noob at a time.
Powered by the proprietary E.V.I.L.™ engine, Super Evil games deliver console-quality graphics, precision controls and social gameplay experiences not possible with an out-of-the-box tablet engine solution.
There's so much more touch games can be. Super Evil Megacorp wants to help build a future where every tablet is perceived by players as a portable next-gen console—a fully fledged primary gaming device.
