There were the occasional “oh this is just like” moments but they quickly get trampled down by the music looping around again in another area that requires everything to be checked at least once. I found myself regularly turning the sound off just for a moment’s respite as I searched the forest or replayed the same horrific lava puzzle again. You’ll find yourself exploring an area to unlock a chest and hopefully progress but as you do the music just loops and loops and loops and loops. Sounds are functional with the appropriate bit tune and effects but nothing stand out and the music is passable but it’s all criminally too short.

It’s all so empty, full of large open spaces of nothing and the more you play the more disappointing it gets. The visuals eventually start causing problems where returning to 2D areas in 3D, it makes some sections look accessible but they are blocked off by invisible walls.

Everything feels a little slapdash with repeating textures and images that feel less like a labour of love and more a textbook exercise in how to make games. The game wipes and shifts from 2D sprites to 3D and low res to high res but everything feels the bare bones and nothing has any real character or polish. There’s just never anything interesting or new with what it has to offer. The visual style of Evoland 1 was what drew me to the game originally and for the most part it’s simply functional. Evoland 1 does remain incredibly clunky throughout, forcing the player to slowly canvas every area and interaction to simply open a chest that will either be a pointless collectable or necessary plot point. Don’t expect any boomerangs or interesting changes to the formula, this is as basic as it gets and never really progresses.

As you progress from basic sprites to 16 bit and eventually 3D you will unlock the ability to use bombs and arrows but your main weapon will still be the trusty sword.

Evoland at its core is a top down action explorer title where the objective is to search every nook and cranny of every level to progress and upgrade the game until it’s functionally more modern than it started. If you’ve ever played an original Zelda game then you’ll already know what to do here. That being said, this review is from this gamer’s point of view who still has a copy of Final Fantasy 7 and recently went back to the 3DS to play some Zelda.Įvoland Legendary Edition is a bundle of Evoland 1 and Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder into a package with a new title screen and the ability to switch between them using – so let’s break this apart and see if either hold up now they’re on a handheld more suited to their theme than a PC. Fairly obvious statement I know but if your first Final Fantasy game was 14 and you only know of Zelda through Hyrule Warriors your mileage is going to drastically change. This reminded me of how Evoland Legendary Edition is going to be very different depending on the experience of who’s playing it. I recently was watching a conversation evolve on Twitter about how reviews are essentially subjective and regardless of how you go about being objective there will always be an essence of the reviewer included in a review.
