All Show, No Go

This game was a huge disappointment. Despite what many critic reviews said, I really liked the art and concept and thought that those things would make up for the lack of substance. I really enjoyed the first half but it did not develop into much later and it felt overall empty. Since there was pretty much no story, things turned into a chore and I even felt frustrated during the last quarter of the game. The ending is also a huge disappointment... I bought this on sale and even that price was not worth it. I gave it two stars because the art direction, evolution concept, and allusions were overall enjoyable.

Nice concept, dull execution

This is really a concept looking for a game. It apes titles like Zelda, Final Fantasy, and even Diablo, but at half-hearted turns without giving any of them any real meat to their bones. At least it doesn't overstay its welcome, completing in a few hours. I just get the impression that somehow the point of the various genres included is missed.

Wears Thin

This game starts out strong and is delightful for the first half hour. Unfortunately when you get past the evolving game mechanic there is nothing else. As for difficulty except for a few boss fights the game does not even pretend to challenge the player. This would be more forgivable if the game was even shorter or if the characters were more memorable but unfortunately this is not the case. I would recommend grabbing this one when it dips under five dollars.

A Great History of Games

Your opinion of Evoland will really be based on the perspective you take when running it. I think it's much better to think of Evoland as an interactive, semi-guided tour of action/adventure and jRPG gaming history. From this viewpoint, it's really staggering to see how each little bit added along the way advanced and improved video games. For instance, you open up a town, but it's just a bunch of scenery, so you open a chest and it adds NPCs for basic interaction, and then you open a chest for entering buildings, and so on in a step by step fashion (along with some amusing sidelong text commentary from the developers at each unlock, "OMG, Color!"). This kind of approach will likely appeal far more to "older" gamers (i.e. over 30 years old) as we actually experienced and played games that were like the 'stone-age' beginning of this one and we witnessed the evolution over the years that is so well-compacted here. Looking at Evoland from a gameplay perspective, you will be left wanting. The controls (intentionally at first) at not so great and the camera doesn't help your visual perspective much in the 3D areas when battling enemies. It makes an effort to have Legend of Zelda style action areas and Final Fantasy turn-based battle areas, and these are ok, but the random encounters are far too frequent for my tastes. The actions available are quite limited and the scope is very short and small scale. There is an amusing card game and some collectibles, but they add little to the game itself. You will almost certainly be disappointed if you look at Evoland solely as a game rather than a showcase or demonstration. A few final comments: there is some really good humor throughout the game. The source material is extensive, though most easily recognized are FFVII and LoZ (your main guy Clink: Cloud/Link). Pick up Evoland if you want to see where console games were and watch how they've grown as it's a wonderful concept that mostly accomplishes its objectives.

Might have been good once

but this is a broken mess. Imagine my surprise to find out the last boss' difficulty is based on your framerate (the lower the better). Add to this the way the "emulated" controllers doesnt work anymore depending on your OS (dont even try with Windows 10 or 11) or controller (nothing later then an Xbox 360 controller will do it) and this game just fails on all levels. I can only hope the deluxe edition is better, but for me, this one is done.
