Evoland Legendary Edition is a compilation of: - Evoland. - Evoland II. Evoland is a journey through the history of action/adventure gaming, allowing you to unlock new technologies, gameplay systems and graphic upgrades as you progress through the game. Inspired by many cult series that have left their mark in the RPG video gaming culture, Evoland takes you from monochrome to full 3D graphics and from active time battles to real time boss fights, all with plenty of humor and references to many classic games. Evoland 2 graphics style is changing as you travel through time and its gameplay evolves as you move along the storyline. It is also a real RPG at heart, with a deep scenario based on time travel: explore different eras and change the history of the world. But are you sure that the consequences will not make things worse? Full of humor and references to classic games, the Evoland series brings a truly epic and extraordinary adventure, unlike anything you’ve ever played before!

An interesting game dev experiment that doesn't really hold it's own.
I liked how Evoland was constantly changing the core gameplay up, especially in the early game. There's something inherently exciting about opening a chest and getting an upgrade for "better graphics". Evoland eventually reaches a point where a good chunk of the game is dumbed down FF7 turn based battles mixed in with mediocre Link to the Past copycat dungeons.
Again, it's a fun idea but it ultimately just reminded me of better games I could be playing instead.
Did not play much of the second game though.
As for Evoland 2, the reliance on reference humor wore thin but the game itself is good and surprisingly varied. The keyboard controls and UI are pretty clunky.
Overall I enjoyed Evoland 2 enough to be quite satisfied.
