    Chris Nordgren and Jordi Roca created something unique and delightful. Everhood’s music-based combat system is absolutely brilliant in its simplicity and addictive as hell, the soundtrack is stellar, and I enjoyed the surreal atmosphere and the story which often breaks the fourth wall. It’s a gem you should definitely play. [05/2021, p.30]

    Everhood is a fantastic freshman effort that brings unexpected and refreshing spins to both the RPG and rhythm genre. The creative combat system and repeat-friendly soundtrack are definitely strong points but the thought-provoking story elevates the unusual adventure to excellent heights.

    Everhood is simply incredible. A carnival populated by masks that have lost their humanity, a deep, rich tale, enhanced by a gameplay that mixes rhythm game, adventure and RPG. A gem that deserves to be played by as many people as possible.

    Do not under any circumstances give this one a miss: Everhood is likely to be one of the most surprising, smart and moving games to surface in 2021.

    All in all, Everhood is a darling of an indie game. It certainly lends more than a quick footnote to Undertale, both in terms of its atmosphere and its themes and storytelling. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, however, and its music-based action is an absolute wonder.

    Overall, if I had to describe Everhood in a single word, it’d be “experiment.” It’s a game that tests interesting concepts to become its own thing. Combining adventure with RPG-Esque mechanics and an enjoyable take on rhythm combat that offers a unique experience for any looking for something new.

    In conclusion, we recommend Everhood to all Toby Fox fans who are waiting for the Deltarune project to finally be concluded.

    Everhood is a unique product thanks to a message which makes an impression to the player. It’s a philosophical and very human history, even if the supporting characters are not up to the standard. The playability, with a significant original soundtrack, is also one-of-a-kind.
