Leave a Review Evoland
A Solid Concept
I picked this game up because it was on sale and I had always wanted to give it a try. The concept of the game is very well thought out and executed, sending you through the world picking up chests that alter every aspect of the game from the visuals to the core gameplay mechanics, guiding you on a journey through RPG history. It was very enjoyable seeing all the little nods and also immediately picking up on the inspirations when the gameplay would change, giving me an idea of what might come next.
However, the game is extremely short and could have brought a much broader and lengthier experience to bear. Just as I began to really enjoy the experience, the curtain closed and the credits rolled, leaving me wanting more.
My rating of Evoland is a solid 4/5. While the game is fun and enjoyable, it is too short to really be able to enjoy the concept to its fullest. With Evoland 2 out now on IOS, I recommend foregoing this entry and jumping straight into it’s sequel, which appears to be a lengthier experience.Show lessTommie Taco
Throwback!
Absolutely loving it! I grow up with this type of games (FFVII is one of my fav) and seeing this wonderful smashup of genres into one is amazing! Every reference, every joke I’m savoring it! Kudos to all the team that made piece of art this possible. I don’t want it to end but I already bought Evoland 2 soooo can’t wait to play that one as well!!!!Show lessJonobear1
A NOSTALGIA TRIP!!!
I have played games like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Trigger and many other RPGs and this game is giving me some major nostalgia vibes. Even though it mirrors many games it stays fresh with this concept of finding better graphics on chest as loot to improve your game. The weird part about it is that even if it didn’t have that I could have easily played this game as a over the top 2D Zelda clone. Very well put put together. Money well spent and it just keeps getting better and better after every chest you find. It really shows you the power that we hold on our hands with these devices.Show lessAcortez2216
Extremely Clever...At First
The game is extremely clever and witty for the first few hours, particularly as it moves from Gameboy to N64 graphics and riffs on Zelda and Diablo. With that said, once it settles into spoofing FFVII (the entire back half of the game), it really loses all creativity and becomes very generic. For how clever and fun the first 3 hours were, the back 3 hours are a complete chore, and it stops parodying/celebrating RPG tropes and instead just uses them as its main storytelling devices. Fun for a bit, but you might want to just stop playing once you feel the novelty wear off.Show lessJohn Daniel Hubbard
A fun trip through gaming history
This was an extremely enjoyable trip through RPG game history. The game captures the feel of games from decades ago and has some awesome humor, much of which involves inside jokes of classic games. It is tedious in a few spots, but overall a joy to play.Lightly Salted
Best mobile game i have ever played!!!
This game is fantastic! I have only played for about a half hour but i had such a fun time so far! This game has definitely had a lot of effort put into it! Honestly i would gladly pay 10$ for this game! i don’t know how long this game is and that may or may not change my rating but so far so good. although i think you definitely could of stretched out the first 10 min and added some more monsters.Show lessthekiller101
Absolutely fantastic!
I don’t write very many reviews, but I made an exception for this game! It is wonderfully nostalgic, while still presenting it in a new way. I loved seeing the cheeky references to my favorite classics! I highly recommend this game to anybody and everybody who enjoyed the classic games or just wants to play a great mobile adventure RPG!Show lessDark_Justice35
Great with minor issues.
Evoland is overall a smart idea for a game. It is quite fun, and I’ve spent lots of time playing this game. Now there are issues. One, hit boxes in 3D zones are absurd. I got hit by a fireball I clearly wasn’t near. And occasionally, the game seems overly difficult and complicated. Sometimes I’ll get stuck in a certain part, and it seems crazy difficult to accomplish. Other than that, if you want a nice indie game or are thinking about getting Evoland II but are not sure, this is a great game to play!Show lessColinTheWarrior
Absolutely amazing.
There aren’t many words to describe this game, it’s simply amazing. The best mobile game I’ve ever played in my entire laugh. I would spend upwards of hundreds of dollars on sequels set in the same world as Evoland. Absolutely awesome. Such a new and creative way to showcase the history of many rpg’s. 👍🏻👍🏻Show lessRobert Krapes
Should have had more
The game itself was truly amazing. The little history of gaming display was very well done. The gameplay was puzzling and that was perfect. I liked the different areas that changed the game. To Zelda. To FinalFantasy. To Diablo. To the others, it was amazing. Wished it could have definitely been longer and have had way more of a longer story too. Looking forward to maybe playing Evoland 2.
Good cost for this game.Show lessMaybeKen
