Evoland is a love letter to the history of action-adventure games. It begins with a monochrome, 8-bit aesthetic and literal 'unlocks' for features like sound and scrolling, eventually evolving into full 3D. Itβs a brilliant concept that turns the history of gaming into a playable mechanic.
The game seamlessly shifts from Zelda-style top-down exploration to Final Fantasy-esque turn-based battles. While the story itself is a bit of a parody of tropes, the journey through the evolution of graphics and gameplay is incredibly rewarding. Itβs a short but sweet experience that every gamer who grew up in the 80s, 90s, or 2000s will find deeply nostalgic.
