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. More treasure chests will allow you to move up and down, scroll between screens, and add color, sound effects, music, and much more. As you can tell, Evoland is very self-aware or "meta". It knows that it's part of a long lineage of video games that have released over the past handful of decades. While being self-referential isn't the sole reason that Evoland exists, it is a major one. It almost feels like you're playing a game that is about making a game. v1d30chumz 78-26-147-81įortunately, Evoland is filled with clever writing that's good for more than a few laughs. 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. Visually, Evoland goes through several evolutions as you progress. It starts as a colourless and simple top-down pixel adventure but eventually upgrades all the way to 3D models and environments. 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'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.
