Anyway, I've played many tongue-in-cheek and self-referential games over the years but Evoland stands out to me due to its extremely knowledgeable developers. At times, the random encounters for the turn-based segments feel excessive, especially considering most of them only take a couple of turns before you're victorious. Neither aspect of Evoland's dual styles is fantastic but both work well for what they are. It bounces back and forth between the two genres as the overworld areas are filled with turn-based action and dungeons will have you slashing enemies with your sword. It's a blend of a top-down Zelda title with RPG elements and simple turn-based combat similar to old Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy games. I was impressed how good everything looked and controlled and it's clear the developers spent a lot of time on each different style to make sure it all felt the same as it went through its transformations.Īs for gameplay, Evoland holds its own but doesn't do anything remarkable. It starts as a colourless and simple top-down pixel adventure but eventually upgrades all the way to 3D models and environments. Visually, Evoland goes through several evolutions as you progress. Those most familiar with old gaming tropes and stereotypes will have a great time laughing as they reference or poke fun at the days of gaming past. v1d30chumz 194-143-137-78įortunately, Evoland is filled with clever writing that's good for more than a few laughs. It almost feels like you're playing a game that is about making a game. While being self-referential isn't the sole reason that Evoland exists, it is a major one. It knows that it's part of a long lineage of video games that have released over the past handful of decades. As you can tell, Evoland is very self-aware or "meta". More treasure chests will allow you to move up and down, scroll between screens, and add color, sound effects, music, and much more. The original Evoland keeps things simple from the start as it allows you to move right but you must open a treasure chest to unlock the ability to move left. │ At Video Chums, accessibility is important and we go to great lengths to ensure that it's easy for everyone to enjoy our content.
