Evoland, is quite simply in my opinion one of the smartest and wittiest written games I've seen in a long time. In general though, while the different periods are a key feature to the game, the standout thing for Evoland 2 is the writing. That's not to say the past and present weren't-it's just at times for me they tended to run more together with their art styles, though there are definite differences as well. The art style changes here are the main thing that harken to the technological focus of Evoland 1, but they do very well fitting the idea of how things worked, and the future 3D stuff in particular stood out as very well done and smooth. Evoland 1 spent a lot of its historical look focusing on things like technology as the eras went by and how that changed over time, which was both its strength and weakness at times.Įvoland 2 uses a set of 3 main time periods-the past 50 years ago, the present, and 50 years in the future-each of which have their own art style and events going on.

That small prototype did well enough to become the full Evoland 1 and was appreciated by many, though it had its flaws. In the original Evoland Classic made for Luudrum Dare, it took a look at what you could call I guess the adventure-rpg area dominated for so long by The Legend of Zelda.
The industry, especially the large players and the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), haven't been much of a help there, especially with the ESA's attempt to destroy anything like proper museums or emulation of past generations.Įvoland as a series began to explore that area. While a new medium, there are relatively few game historians who track those things-you can see some of them with like Matt Barton's excellent work or the CRPG Book Project, but for the most part gaming history tends to be ignored in many ways. However, generally these games are all about exploring their own ideas, where the history of gaming has been something always a bit endangered.
