I literally had to take multiple customers’ orders, bring them to the chef, and give them to the right customers before they got mad and left. At one point, I was playing a simple (but still stressful) version of Diner Dash. Sometimes you control Kuro from the top down, like The Legend of Zelda. Sometime you are playing a 2D Mario-style platformer. It’s difficult to describe Evoland 2’s gameplay, because of how much it changes. It does a great job setting the mood of the level and compliments the art style very well, no matter which period of history you are in. The game’s soundtrack is filled with nostalgia-inducing music. All three are colourful and interesting, but still represent a dramatic difference between the three eras. Each one of these three eras is visually beautiful in a different way. The present era is reminiscent of games on the Game Boy Advance, somewhere in between the 8-bit graphics of the past and the colorful 3D of the future. In the future, the world transforms into a bright 3D landscape much more reminiscent of a modern game. When travelling to the past, the game’s graphics switch to a NES style. The future era literally brings a whole new dimension to Evoland 2Įvoland 2 takes place in three very different periods of time. Conversations sometimes drag on for way too long, and with no voiceovers in the game at all, you’ll be doing a lot of reading. I recognize that Evoland 2 takes any chance it can get to make references to older games, but it goes overboard at some points. Sometimes, it is cliche that overstays its welcome. The 15-hour story is not without flaw though. Moments like these give the game a unique charm, even if its jokes are about itself and other games.
EVOLAND 2 LUCKY CHARM CODE
When I tried to open a particular chest, the game told me “This chest could probably be opened if the developers had enough time to code it”. The item descriptions and NPCs in Evoland 2 continually break the fourth wall in clever and funny ways. At one point, an NPC asked what my name was, to which I could reply “Super Morio”, “Solid Snail”, or a few others. He gains memorable allies along the way, which give the story a splash of humour and light-heartedness. He then sets off on an adventure to figure who he is, which evolves into a journey back in time and into the future. Evoland 2 is not a shameless copy of classic games, it’s a witty ode to videogame history.Įvoland 2 starts off with the main character, Kuro, waking up in a village with, you guessed it, amnesia. Even though Evoland 2 stands on the shoulders of many different giants, it’s how seamlessly it transitions between genres that makes it unique. There’s Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Zelda, even Diner Dash at one point. Every chapter of this RPG from Shiro Games borrows heavily from one classic or another. It’s hard to describe Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder as unique. Reviews // 15th Sep 2015 - 7 years ago // By Miguel Sheets Evoland 2 Review
