Evoland is an indie action adventure game based on Ludum Dare winner Evoland Classic (which already attracted over 300,000 players). Evoland is also a journey through the history of action/adventure gaming, allowing you to unlock new technologies, gameplay systems and graphics upgrades as you progress through the game. Inspired by cult series like Zelda and Final Fantasy, Evoland will take you from monochrome to full 3D graphics and from active time battles to real time boss fights, all with plenty of humor, and references to many classic games.
Evoland is a fantastic advert for indie gaming. It’s exactly why I love supporting indie and being so personally involved in it. The game is creative, charming, quirky, unique, highly entertaining and wonderfully nostalgic, and it really is a joy to play and experience. Ultimately it will be old-school adventure fans or those who appreciate creativity and innovation that will find the most to love here, and there truly is a lot to love. Furthermore, a great part of what makes it an exciting prospect is that its concept of evolution has the potential to be expanded and taken to other genres or contexts, which would be awesome to see. For now, however, Evolands is a stand-out title, and an absolute must-play.
