Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder

This game changes, much like a museum adapting to transcend time and genres.

I love this game when it came out 10 years ago and I still love it. The usage of the different engines is really genius. I only wish there would be Evoland 3..

I originally played the first game, Evoland, back in 2013 and while it was a relatively short game, it stuck with me - mainly for using an interesting gimmick. The game's whole premise was that as you progressed, you would unlock and evolve the world around you. For this reason, new features would be unlocked and the world would change to reflect different RPGs from various eras. It was a brilliant idea that I never found in any other game.

So when I learned that there was an Evoland 2 I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I wanted to see more of what the first game accomplished. But on the other hand, how does one pull the same trick twice and still remain novel?

Well, the answer is they didn't.

See, in the first game, the devs gave full focus to the gimmick and then slapped into a basic story to tie it all together. This time, however, you could see that they had a full story and then they wrapped the gimmick around that.

In Evoland 2, you don't upgrade your world the same way you do in Evoland. Instead, you travel through time - similar to Chrono Trigger - and each era is represented in an RPG style. So where is the gimmick?

That would be with the different genres they snuck in, and boy did they ever. And yet, at no point did they feel forced. They may have felt out of place, but not forced.

Now while I enjoyed the game, there were a couple of things that bugged me. The first one was that there was no fast travel or escape from the dungeon option. So you spent a lot of time going back and forth to get to the time teleports to shift back and forth. At least, once you unlock the airship, traveling around gets faster.

The second thing that got under my skin was the lack of a sprint feature. It seems trivial, but the amount of times I wanted to get through an area quickly and the character - especially in the Past era - felt like he was moving slowly. It drove me nuts!

There were a couple of other things but overall I enjoyed the game. I would still recommend it, but I am at mixed feelings on whether I prefer the first game or this one.

Great game, but I suggest getting the Evoland Legendary Edition instead of this one, comes with both games instead of just 2

lots of fun, and definitely challenging with a nostalgic vibe to it

Tons of nostalgia and easter eggs for older gamers, and the constant change in gameplay keeps you on your toes. I absolutely enjoyed my playthrough.

Really well done game, it manages to keep you busy for at least 20 hours, probably you will need some extra 10 if you want the 100% but believe it is worth it, the amount of easter eggs, secrets you will encounter, hell, you even get to met Link and Bomberman, lol
NOTE: Buy the legendary collection on sale, it will include Evoland 1 and 2 that way you can focus in only one set of achievements cause in my case I got the 2 alone.
