![]() ![]() From puzzlers to arcade games to minimalist gems, Android’s vaults have something for everyone, and you can read about them here in our occasional series called Classic Game Reviews.Įvoland offers a standout gaming experience that belies its subtle presence in the Google Play Store. More than just another RPG clone, it’s an interactive journey through the evolution of adventure RPGs, and the history of gaming. The game starts out as a monochrome 2D game but quickly changes and evolves as you discover and unlock chests that add color, textures, a storyline, and much more. The gameplay is deeply nostalgic, and changes to parody classic games and gameplay styles - from free-roaming adventure (Zelda), to the turn-based battles found in JRPGs (Final Fantasy VII) to clearing out demonic dungeons (Diablo). The game was originally developed in 2012 by Nicolas Cannasse as part of, Ludum Dare, a 48-hour game jam where the competitors were given theme of “evolution”. Cannasse decided to create an RPG game that explored the history of the RPG genre, where the game’s graphics and gameplay evolve as the player progresses through the story. Evoland would go on to win first place in the competition and earn accolades for its brilliant design. Ported to Android in 2015 by Shiro Games and Playdigious, Evoland has been kind of overlooked on the Google Play Store likely due to its $4.99 price tag. But it’s well worth checking out if you’re a hardcore RPG fan, or even if you’re the type who finds RPGs to be boring and repetitive.
