It’s still a very enjoyable RPG, but the spoofs and references to other games are weaker and the game is inferior due to that.Įvoland 2 fixes a major major complaint of Evoland, where the original game was very short, taking only 3 hours, Evoland 2 will take players closer to 15 hours with a far more advanced story and deeper sections. Where Evoland wanted players to think and consider how RPGs evolved over generations, Evoland 2 is simply happy to remind you of different games and calls it a day. While there’s a specific dungeon that is based on Chrono Trigger, and a strategy RPG style gameplay, there’s also references to Metal Gear Solid, and Professor Layton, however many of those are just namechecking the feature or style of the game and then moving on without looking at them at a deeper level. However that’s hardly the only style of gameplay in Evoland 2 as it again explores the RPG genre, but this branches out to others. Much of the game is played in a style similar to the early Legend of Zelda games, which is a good thing because that’s a great style. Where Evoland was a parody of the RPG genre, Evoland 2 is more of a classic adventure game similar to the classic Legend of Zelda game that still explores and looks at the RPG genre and others games closely and finds some humor. I give Evoland a 9/10, though I would only recommend this game for fans of the RPG Genre.Įvoland 2. The one other issue with Evoland, which is that it lasts only about three hours, though the journey is worth it.
The only true issue I have with Evoland is it stands on the shoulders of giants to reach the heights it does and players without an understanding of the games shown here or their tropes may not find this as clever. The final boss of Evoland is perhaps the only challenging part of the game, though I believe that’s forgivable for what it is.Įvoland is an excellent journey though, I’ve played through this game twice, once in the base edition and once in the Evoland Legendary Edition, and both times I’ve enjoyed myself. The only section that seems to become a slog, was the Diablo section near the end of the game and it’s only a couple minutes longer than it should be. Each feature and dungeon is well-timed and the game quickly progresses through each genre. The game will then mix in several tropes and features from many games, mostly focusing on Zelda, Final Fantasy, and eventually Diablo. The early game will feel familiar to fans of Zelda. The player journeys through a lot of different styles of gameplay.

If Evoland was only that, it’d be an enjoyable game, however, Evoland tells it’s own story and while pieces of it are heavily influenced by many RPGs, most notably the Final Fantasy Series with a focus on Final Fantasy 7, the story in Evoland keeps the player involved. Evoland isn’t just attempting to deliver an RPG experience, but instead, explore the RPG experience and bring the player on a journey that allows them to watch the evolution of the RPG over the years, including graphics, gameplay elements, style, and more. This is the very early experience of Evoland, but it expertly shows the style of gameplay. The chest on the left allows movement in the “second direction” and players can then move up and down along with left and right. The player is in a row of tiles, which has two chests between them they can only move to the right and as they walk in that direction they open the chest and suddenly are rewarded with the ability to move left. It’s a rather hard game to review because it does so many things but quickly evolves away from most of them before they grow stale.

As such, I’ll talk about each game individually and review both games and combine them for the full package’s final score.Įvoland is a parody of the RPG genre while remaining true to that formula at the same time. They are both by Shiro Games and the Legendary edition just combines them into a single executable. Evoland: Legendary Edition is a compilation of two games called Evoland and Evoland 2.
