Hope for a remake!

This game is the ancestor of all modern RPGs with elements of tactics and strategy. At the time when this game came out, it had the most huge, attractive and worked out to every detail of the world. CGI videos still touch the imagination with their charisma and elaboration, ahead of time. The game was completely voiced by professional actors, which at that time was extremely rare, except for the fact that there are hundreds and hundreds of replicas in the game, if not thousands! At that time, no one made such games. To date, the graphics in the game, of course, are very outdated, but the plot, the story, the atmosphere, the special mechanics of crafting items and spells, the strictly adjusted balance of the game, make this product not an outdated masterpiece. We are waiting and hoping that someday this game will return to us in the form of a beautiful remake with updated graphics for modern realities!

One of my favorite 'bad' games

Story: Bad Worldbuilding: Boring Production values: Average Music: Don't remember SFX: Very good Gameplay: 10/10 fun and you should buy it for this category alone

Hidden Gem

I played this as a kid and I never finished it...now I understand why. The game relies on strategy, stealth and cunning and makes (almost) every battle a boss battle. There is a super interesting crafting system (for spells and armour); it is fully voice-acted and the monsters look really fun. The first part of the game is really interesting, with a lot of quests and peculiar characters but as the game goes on it feels...rushed. Nonetheless, I definitely recommend giving this game a try. P.S: You can change the difficulty of the game ANY TIME and it's totally ok to do so because some enemies are simply impossible to kill without doing this ;)

Best game i ever played

I'm like most Evil Islands fans who like playing this game again after a few years because of the freedom it gives me while creating my own play style. And after finning the game I then try to google to see if there is any Evil Island 2 coming soon. I can't find any game like this and I really don't know why no one can't make games like this any longer. I see many good reviews for this game and I have never reviewed any games before this one so I will tell you the short story of this game. You weak upon an island and have to figure out who you are. That means doing missions and get stronger by leveling up after getting point and buying skills whit them. You also get to sell your loot and buy weapons or spell stuff with your money. The story is awesome and the bosses in the game more so. Telling more than that may take the fun of the game for you. But believe me when I say the game is good and you can't find any game like this in 2018.
