    Beautiful world, marvellous climate, great game-play and very interesting story. In my opinion there is no perfect game. This game is almost perfect, I give it 9,8/10 score.

    Evil Islands is one of my favorite game. Incredible atmosphere of fairy tale. Long and really interesting adventure in very unusual places. A hidden RPG "Gem"!

    This game is awesome. And the storytelling is brilliant. One of the few games that I walked through several times and had a lot of joy every time I did it.

    The world presented in this game is climatic and consistent - every of three land where the adventure takes place is different of each other and have unique climat. In the 2001 full 3D graphic was quite new experience for gamers and for 2001 it presented very beautiful. Gameplay is great, I hope there will be continued.

    Best Stealth RPG Game. Even in 2018, you can play, the graphics for those years are just excellent, and the music is enjoyment 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story and voice acting are utterly pathetic. The gameplay was enough fun for me to complete the whole game spending some reasonably fun hours though. The end of the game was easily the worst I have ever seen. After some tedious sneaking in the last stage and a potentially unavoidable deadly trap (If you did not level your mana high enough, you weren't able to use the teleport spell to get past the trap) came the boss fight.This "fight" took about 5 seconds and was fought out between some NPC and the boss. You didn't really have to do anything and just hope your dude wins. The fight is followed by a very short and very inconclusive cutscene and boom game is finished.… Expand

    Never played this game (broken PC) but watch my friend played it from start to finish.
    I can easily say that game was great, with unique style and story with some challenging quests.

    Will you want to spend over 100 hours, crawling here, there and everywhere to get into in it? That's the question. A lot of you aren't, for Evil Islands doesn't stand out either as a great genuine strategy or as a bonkers RPG.

    In the end, the thing you remember most isn't the graphics engine, the nifty spell and item construction, or even the awful voice acting; it's the frustration of slogging through a poorly balanced game that substitutes saving and reloading for gameplay.

    While not quite as big as "Baldur's Gate II," this game is considerably large, totalling about 100 hours of the single-player gameplay.
