Ok until the first boss
Was having a decent time until I got to the first boss in the mines. The boss itself is hard enough (first time around I didn't even see a way to hurt it, and second time I found out how just by accident - there needs to be more of a clue on how to hit it!), but the fact that the last save point is WAY back in the mines, forcing you, if you die vs the boss, to navigate past a slew of fire traps just to get back to the boss (and then the jars of health are all gone as well even if you didn't use them all the first time) is RIDICULOUS. Screw that crap. I'm done.Show lessartfoundry

Hi, we're sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the game. We hope you'll like our other games!Skippable if you wanna play Evoland 2 right away
Played it start to finish and not all that impressed. Evoland 2 is a huge improvement to the original. If you truly want to play the original and experience the early rpg discography like, legend of Zelda, final fantasy and chrono trigger, feel feel to give this game a try. Otherwise skip to the second gameShow lesssentrerre

Thank you for your feedback!A Retro RPG Masterpiece!
If you have ever cut every last blade of grass in Hyrule, learned every Moogle dance, raised every Mana Seed to level 8, changed clothes three times to give cider to an old man, or read every gravestone in Arcanum, this game is your crack.
What starts with a brief blunder through monochrome 8-bit animation, grows with the progression of technology and storytelling as you earn “color” and “background music”, and later “monsters” and “side quests”... I think I’m at about 1994 now, and loving every second of it!
Well worth the price of admission. Much less hassle than blowing on cartridges.Show lessW6GQL
Good enough.
The game is a good standalone rpg made for fans of all kinds of video games. It will take roughly 4-5 hours to finish a regular playthrough and roughly 7-8 to get 100% completion.
It executes the gimmick shown in the trailer fairly well, but at a certain point it drops off and becomes a sort of open world rpg.
While not exactly deep, for a five year old game on mobile, it's offers a nice, short story. It also does a good job homaging older titles if your into references.
There's a couple flaws, of course. The most notable one, which may come from its inspiration, is how unnecessarily grindy it is.
This will probably make a 100% completion take 3-4 hours longer but does not affect regular gameplay. I rated it 4/5 because of this and the final chapter. It's a very abrupt end and the final boss is more of an annoyance than a challenge.Show lessJNSMTH
Evolved My Perspective
Evoland II is a much fuller game. Evoland was more of a short technical experiment, which proved to generate a lot of interest. One of the most profound parts of both games is they help me see how a game's look and genre defines the experience. Evoland single handedly helped me realize I don't like the JRPG genre, although I appreciate qualities of some of the games that display it. It also helped me see I do appreciate modern graphics, although I am hooked on some charming classic games. Evoland is designed as a walk through the evolution of games, but it just might evolve how you look at them.Show lessEmilyApricot
I don’t usually write reviews.
This game is amazing. As someone who has played adventure games since the game Adventure on Atari 2600, the feeling of nostalgia I received from this game was incredible. It pays such a fun tribute to the different eras of adventure games in such a seamless fashion. My only complaint is that it isn’t longer, but it was worth the $0.99. I look forward to playing Evoland 2, and hope it is only an extension of this homage to old school games.Show lessKingOfTheAve
A trip down memory lane!
Game is fun and amazingly well put together. Some areas seem too short and others seems to be no point to except to introduce a different game style just to visit it. Game is real short but fun to play. Awesome throwbacks all the way through can’t wait to play Evoland 2. Which has great reviews and seems to be honest about being 20hrs worth of gameplay based on gamer reviews!Show lessSloGoMaGo
Zelda/Final Fantasy combined in a mobile app!
This is by far the greatest game I have ever played in my entire life of retro and indie gaming. It’s a great mix of 8/16 bit games as well as modern games and it has a very smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience. It’s almost like it’s familiar to me without ever playing it before!DVeloster
Great game!! Nothing Wrong!!
This is a fabulous rpg. I also like how it’s sort of a timeline of the years of rpgs. It has a great plot and a whole lot of foreshadowing. It definitely is worth the $0.99. Also there’s lots of secrets and places you can visit after beating the game that you wouldn’t visit in a normal run. It will turn from pixelated, to not so pixelated, to almost like survival craft. It’s great. Press [get] to download it it’s great.Show lessKraftKing21
It’s A’ight
First I’ll start off by safe ALL mobile apps have a crappy interface for moving characters around on a touch screen.
That said, the game was quite enjoyable— very enjoyable because it kept me in anticipation wondering “when am I going to learn a new skill? Who is going to join my party? When do I get to ride their version of a Chocobo?”
But it disappointed when none of that happened. It is EXTREMELY short and I don’t think there was really a point to grinding and leveling up, especially since it doesn’t seem to matter with the fights where you control your character with the thumb stick.
Let’s see how EVOLAND 2 is. I did enjoy this game, but it’s short short short.Show less4mplifi3d
