    This port has some issues. Evoland 1 is perfect and a genuinely enjoyable experience, one that I'd want anyone with even passing knowledge of modern video games and tropes to have. It's close to 4 hours in length and every minute is fantastic. Evoland 2 however, surpasses Evoland 1 in almost every way.

Evoland 1 is perfect and a genuinely enjoyable experience, one that I'd want anyone with even passing knowledge of modern video games and tropes to have. It's close to 4 hours in length and every minute is fantastic. Evoland 2 however, surpasses Evoland 1 in almost every way. The soundtrack is amazing, the storyline reminds me of old school SNES RPGs, and the one off segments that introduce new mechanics are all a blast to play. (My favorites were the top down shooter segment and the street fighter-esque bit.)

    However. The reason this game doesn't get a high rating from me at all, is because this game has an unskippable bug that completely prevents you from finishing the game. Towards the end of the game, there's a side scrolling segment that ends with talking to a specific purple NPC, then the 'zone' crash lands... and the game crashes. This port has been out since February 2019, and as of writing this in October 2019, it hasn't been fixed. If you want to finish this amazing game, do it on literally any other platform.    … Expand

    The price of Evoland Legendary Edition is worth it for the first game alone, which is legendary in its own right. Mileage on the second one may vary depending on a player's tolerance for frustration if they are not so good at platformers. With over eight hours spent completing the first game and six hours attempting the second there, is a lot of fun to be had in this special edition, which is the only way to get both titles on the Nintendo Switch.

    Evoland: Legendary Edition plays like a kind of a museum on JRPG, an interactive lesson on this section of the gaming world which allows players of all levels of experience to enjoy. It might not have the most fascinating plot and the execution of some mechanics could certainly be better but Evoland: Legendary Edition is certainly a game to should go into the map of RPG enthusiasts.

    Evoland Legendary Edition packages two great titles but I’m pretty disappointed with the performance. Even when you unlock smooth scrolling in the original, it stutters here and there and feels like it has a lot of input lag. If you have another platform to experience these games on, make sure you do. They are absolutely worth your time.
