Wander into the forest and help bring it back to life with the help of Fen, your creature guide. Evergarden may feel familiar at first, but you will discover it is like no game you have played before.

### 5/5 — Perfect recess

*2025-12-18*

Completed the game but i still go back to it and make gardens. Still trying to figure out how to light up the 3rd super tower. It’s possible. My brother did it.  Also haven’t solved the cryptogram on the coffin…. Love a good puzzle and the music makes it perfect.

### 2/5 — Game glitches

*2023-05-11*

Sometimes I lose my special tokens because if you click away after using them, the upgraded plants return to what they were previously and the token is gone. The back button also disappears often.

### 5/5 — Subtil

*2021-12-11*

Très bon jeux! Délicat et complexe!
Musique douce. Très agréable a jouer. La réflexion est de mise

### 3/5 — Not visually accessible

*2021-11-08*

My biggest issue is that it is stylized in a way where the game board is only warm red hues and all the flowers are the same color (even if they are different shapes) so it’s hard for people with visual perception differences to tell them apart. I wish the different stages of the flowers where different colors so they were easier to tell apart.

### 3/5 — Pretty but glitchy

*2021-02-10*

This is an enjoyable game except for 2 things:
1 An intermittent glitch where the game doesn’t recognise when you have completed a pattern. Progressing to the next turn doesn’t help, neither does completing the pattern again elsewhere on the board. Turning the game off and on again generates a new pattern but means you’ve wasted your time on the old one. 
2 The ****** bunnies! Watching them munch the 6 pointed flowers you spent ages creating when you’ve almost finished a pattern is beyond frustrating in a game that ought to be relaxing. 
If these 2 things could be fixed I would give this game 5 stars because it’s lovely otherwise.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2020-10-30*

Been playing this for about a year, been through the whole field about 4 times and only got stuck once.  I find it relaxing and absorbing.  My only frustration is that on the main screen occasionally There will be a challenge that is impossible to accomplish in the available spots.

### 3/5 — Another overrated game

*2020-09-08*

Getting a bit tired of the review sites showering average games in glowing praise. No doubt pushing the industry that keeps them employed. It's okay. Bit boring. Far from the best of it's type.

### 5/5 — Klasse Entspannungspuzzler!

*2020-08-19*

Eine geheimnisvolle Stimmung wie z.B. in Kensho und ein „Aufkombinieren“ à la Triple Town, dazu noch eine Story und nette Helfertiere und Extras. Erfüllt alle Erwartungen, die ich an einen (schwer wegzulegenden) Zen-Puzzler habe.

### 1/5 — 最初の面？のターンを終えたあと何も出来ない

*2020-06-11*

チュートリアル？が終わって1面を最終ターンまで終わらせたあと、何も起きません。下の方にある三角形のくぼみがあるブロックをタップするとズームされるけど、それだけ。ゲームデータをリセットして最初からやり直しても同じ…説明がなくて次にやることが分からないだけなのかバグなのかよくわかんないです…お金返して欲しい…

### 5/5 — The best game on my phone

*2020-05-16, version 1.1.0*

I’ve had this game for two years now, and I can’t believe that I haven’t written a review yet! It’s my second most used app (aside from YouTube)
And the best purchase that I’ve made on my phone to this day! I love the gameplay and how there is no “hand holding” along the way. It’s just you, your thoughts and the stunning graphics. I finished the main story in a mere month, but I still play it all the time! The addition of the cave with it’s daily challenge is really fun! If anyone is confused about what it does; it gives you more flowers at a higher level in the beginning spawn. And the music is fantastic! I have no complaints about this game!
