Evoland is a clever homage to the evolution of action-adventure/role-playing games. You'll feel right at home if you're familiar with The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy VII. It's a lighthearted, nostalgic trip that doesn't require firsthand knowledge to appreciate. + great game for younger children + very accessible and conveniently short and sweet + the evolution concept is novel and well done for what it is + excellent father/son time – the concept of evolving the game should have been developed further... half-way through, the evolution tapers down too much and you're left with just grinding and exploring – with such a simplistic storyline, exploration should have been rewarded more I'd recommend this game to anyone with children (5 stars). The game isn't difficult and the evolution effects were interesting conversation for both my son and myself. If you're looking at this game for yourself (3 stars), I'd wait until it's on sale.
