    Whether you look at dialogue and story line, or implementation of mechanics, or just sheer volume of gameplay, Evoland 2 is not just a huge improvement on the original but also an amazing way to extend your experiences you may have had with those old school games that it emulates. Evoland 2 pulls off something very difficult to do, it keeps it's own unique feel and functions as a greatest hits anthology. Go get it if you haven't already!

    As a fan of RPGs in general, I am liking Evoland 2 so far. I believe I had the original game, but didn't get around to playing it for whatever reason (this happens more often than not). The cheeky humor and references bring a smile to my face, and I love how the world transitions to different graphical styles. The soundtrack reminds me of older RPGs that I used to play too, so the nostalgia is nice. I just hope the controls get better in due time. It may just take some practice to get used to.

    Evoland 2 struggles to find a proper identity in its incredible mix of genre and styles, but manage to be enjoyable, especially for those who actually lived the 8 and 16-bit eras.

    Its biggest problem is touchscreen controls, the joystick and buttons regularly proving elusive and making precision platform stages just as nightmarish as you’d expect. But get past those moments of finger-slipping, iPad-hurling frustration and you’ll discover an unusually well-made and inventive tour of gameplay from the last three decades.

    Unlike its predecessor, Evoland 2 tends not to get so swept up in how clever it's being. And that makes it a far warmer and more welcoming experience. It's still poking fun, but it's doing it because it cares, not because it's mean. Sure, it's a little on the scatterbrained side, and there are RPGs on the App Store that do all of the things that it tries out better. But as an experience in pleasant nostalgia, there's enough care and attention been lavished on this one to make it worth your while.

    There are moments where Evoland 2’s game-referencing antics feel really cool, but these moments are few and far between. Otherwise, it presents a poorly paced adventure that—though narratively interesting—isn’t exactly fun to play. For the most part, Evoland 2 is a passing curiosity that mostly just reminds you of all the other, better games you could be playing instead of it.

It was funny, smart in its implementation of classic game styles, and intriguing in its story. I played with a controlled connected to my phone, which is probably the better way to play this game on mobile. However, there were many times I was forced to restart due to bugs and error messages popping up (never seen that happen in a game before where an error message appears in the iOS dialogue box style!). This was usually not a big deal; I'd just restart the game and continue on. However, the most notable instance was during the final boss' third phase. I had to exit out and go through all phases again which was.... not great. I have no idea if these bugs are in other versions of the game since many indies don't publish mobile versions themselves. They have another publishing house take care of it (Playdigious, in this case). Still, overall, I'd definitely recommend this game.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Jogo altamente divertido! A idéia de evoluir do 8bits (passado) até o 3D (futuro) é muito criativo.
    Fora a emulação dos jogos clássicos da velha guarda, como: • Street Fighter;
    • Zelda;
    • Chrono Trigger;
    • Sonic Wings;
    • Mario Bros;
    • Donkey Kong (clássico);
    • Wars Advanced;
    • Final Fantasy (invocações);
    • Double Dragon;
    e tem mais...

    As referências são muito agradáveis e positivas, como: • Planta do Mario;
    • Quadro do "O grito" com o monstro de Chrono;
    • Metroid dentro de uma cápsula;
    • Mario, Zelda, Riu e outros numa fila;
    E mais...

    Curti demais, perfeito! A trilha é nostálgica e animada e os controles fluem bem.

    O jogo de cartas é bem legal, eu apreciei bastante esse minigame.

    Recomendo!    … Full Review »

    Pretty awful, i didn't like it at all and i'm not recommending it. It's not high quality stuff like Ubisoft games sadly.
