Evoland

Evoland jrpg oyunlarının evrimini gösteren çok güzel bir oyun. Oyuna başladığınızda her şey siyah beyaz ilerledikçe müzikler, görseller 3d,aksiyon gibi özellikler alıyorsun ben şahsen jrpg türünden çok hoşlanmam ama bu oyunu sıkılmadan bitirdim (tabi bunda oyunun yarısının gerçek zamanlı aksiyon olmasının da etkisi var). Ben bu türü sevseniz de sevmeseniz de bu oyuna her türlü şans verilmesi gerektiğini düşünüyorum zaten kısa 4-5 saatlik bir oyun.

This is arguably one of the worst game I've played in the past years. As others have said, the concept is interesting but the execution is aweful. This is supposed to be a tribute to old console games (typically like Zelda) that weren't "perfect" so there are features that seem unfair/unbalanced/annoying in some aspects compared to recent games (not much savepoint, running around a lot, poor loot, uneven drops etc) BUT they actually managed to make it worse, killing all the fun you should have. I had a hard time enjoying it for the most part (especially because of how OFTEN you get in random fight. Just like you do in Pokemon.... but in such a worse way. I was glad when getting the aircraft and started to have fun again trying to collect everything (despite labyrinthic maps that are so badly made) but ended up loosing it all for the Dodgeball and Hero achievment. Basically, everything is sort of random. Your hero can level up but it doesn't matter a bit. At level 15 you can still get attacked by a groupe of four who attack before you and remove 25% of your health, your attack can miss 5 times straight, sometimes you do 15 damages, sometimes 30, so basically your defense and attack …

A fun little adventure through the evolution of video games! Well, through the first 15 years or so of fantasy RPG and adventure games. It's pretty obvious what games they are specifically inspired by, even including them in the credits; but they also manage to have an identity all their own. While the game is only about 6 hours long, it is an, ironically, unique and inspired 6 hours of play. From unlocking new mechanics as in game chest rewards, to switching between the past and present by shifting between 2D and 3D graphics, to straight up having different game styles in certain dungeons, this game is not afraid to have fun with its premise. At this point, this is one of those indie classics that I only just got around to playing. Hard for me to really expand on what's already been said, so I'll just say, it's fun!

I really enjoyed unlocking the game mecanics.

Recommended. A short, affectionate playable museum of RPG history where every chest unlocks a decade of gaming progress, from 8-bit silence and sixteen colours to Mode 7, 3D and Diablo-style loot, with a throwaway plot existing purely as scaffolding. The transition moments are the best part, the Diablo-style ruins stretch the outright highlight with loot that does nothing but delight, and the references (a ghost emperor, a famous sword, Goomba-like Zumbas, a dragon summon) read as tribute rather than theft. Shops even sell a "fast DVD player" that removes loading screens, a joke that understands its own subject completely. Random encounters fire every couple of steps, the final boss hides an unclear phase-two mechanic, and money stops mattering once the shops drain. Roughly two hours of history worth replaying with a 100% pass only if the backtracking appeals.

More annoying and tedious than fun.
