But hey, want to play a stealth mission too? No? Well, you’ve got to do it anyway. Fancy the action RPG stylings of The Legend of Zelda? You’ll get your fair share of that. Over the course of a few hours, Evoland 2 shifted its gameplay mechanics multiple times. The characters react to the change, but beyond that the visual updates don’t seem particularly meaningful. After a little bit, though, everything shifts to a more 16-bit appearance. As you begin, there’s a distinct sense of familiarity with the chunky pixel art and simple gameplay.
Of course, the whole decade-hopping feature simply had to return. It’s a bit of a shock just how much more of a “game” this is, with deeper storyline and mechanics that aren’t just an attempt to get players feeling all nostalgic. With an expanded time frame, that means there’s even more time to explore different decades of gaming as well as a boatload of genres.Īs a fan of the original despite its shortcomings, I was excited to take a look at an extended preview of Evoland 2 and see how everything’s evolved. Instead of being some 2-4 hour jaunt, the complete game will probably run around 20 hours long. Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder has a much larger scope.
Although fun, it got a bit too grindy near the end and was too short to really get players invested in any specific timeframe. That’s not to say Evoland was a perfect game. Since then, many more games have pushed for the same aesthetics with middling results. It managed to be unique with its concept of bringing players through the history of video games. Evoland was one heck of a game when it launched back in 2013.
