![]() The later game areas change to a simple but cute 3D style, with the fidelity of the textures and music being upgraded toward the end of the game. There’s also a certain later area with a different style and a playable Triple Tri- excuse me, Double Twin card game, which kinda feels like a game of luck since you aren’t allowed to choose the make-up of your deck before starting a match.Īs you proceed through Evoland, more things are added to flesh out the experience. The second is a turn-based RPG, where some dungeons and the overworld will instead throw you into random encounters. The first is the Zelda-based exploration, with the sword swinging-puzzle solving action that’s familiar. The game is dominated by two gameplay styles. How does the evolution stuff factor into the story? Well. It feels like a parody of an early JRPG story, but without as many jokes. You are the hero, Clink, who meets with a girl named Kaeris who’s trying to stave off a rotting influence from the demon Zephyros. All the while, pop-up notifications make all the relevant quips, like some observational video game webcomic.Īnd soon, you unlock a story. ![]() Another and sound is properly added to the game, then color. Another one and a new mechanic in the form of a sword to swing is introduced. You do so and open a chest, which grants the ability to walk left. You start out in a basic monochrome area, only capable of moving right. ![]() As far as I saw, the only differences between the original Evoland and its compilation version are small fixes, so you won’t really be missing much if you don’t play the original Evoland. Now, what’s less convenient is that the game inexplicably has a 3rd-party launcher? I hate it, make it go away.Īnyway, for the sake of my personal time, I’m only looking at the first game – for now. Legendary Edition is a compilation with both of the Evoland games, which is convenient. In going back on my occasional quest to knock something out of my game backlog, I discovered that I had actually been gifted Evoland Legendary Edition at some point, presumably because I owned the other games. My playtime for the first game is artificially inflated because I distinctly remember Steam having a weird glitch where the game didn’t really close, so I can’t say how long I actually played it. I got Evoland and the 2nd game all the way back in 2016 and… haven’t really touched either of the games. The central conceit of Evoland is that it’s a game that portrays the evolution of video games – mainly RPGs. One of the main designers for the game was Nicolas Cannasse, who developed the original prototype that won Ludum Dare. Today, I’m looking at Shiro Games’ Evoland.
