Ultimately I can only recommend this one to platforming fans and those really skilled with platformers, unless you’re getting the desktop version. Please adjust the controls and this will be a very much more rewarding experience As the game progresses much finer controls are needed to not rip out your hair redoing platform areas and puzzles. The movement circle really needs to stay put, as I have to take my finger off a lot any slight tap over there resets it’s position so I miss the button way to much, the attack button is so small I miss it frequently as well.

The story so-far is nice, my only gripe is the controls. Many otherwise positive reviews make the same complaint, such as this one from Lytesabre on the App Store: The game also crashed repeatedly when I was making all these attempts – it didn’t crash at other times, just after each 50 or attempts/reloads of the platforms. All I felt was a sense of dread and boredom at the next set (I got as far as about half way through Windy Valley). With Evoland 2, I spend literal hours on single sequences of bouncing mushrooms, and eventually realised it just wasn’t fun.

I admit I’m not great at platforming, but I can usually get through. It might have been an idea for the devs to provide some kind of “Easy Mode” for iPhone players, similar to the “Slow Platform” function offered in 9th Dawn II. The equipment is also limited, there are only a few different things to get. There is no real customisation of characters in terms of choosing skills/stats, that’s all automatic. And when it comes to the finding the limited pieces of ore to make the most powerful weapons and armour, that’s obviously vital to collect. The sense I get, not having finished, is that you may not be able to revisit previous areas to collect the things you missed. This breaks the immersion for me, but Evoland 2 is a very, very linear game. Different story is a fitting word in this regard, since Evoland 2 does indeed have a story. If you want to get all the collectibles, as well as the powerful sword asap, then you’ll want to follow a walkthrough. What, youre testing jumpnruns now at rpg-o-mania. The puzzle sections were generally good, and the underwater sections were fun. Sadly, I never managed to get to the shooter or trading card levels, so can’t comment on what they’re like. I actually found I preferred the “present day” polished retro sprites to the 3D “future” graphics.įrom 2D RPG, through 3D vs fight to a shooter, a trading card game and more you’ll get your fill of jumping from a game genre to another, never bored. Once again you get to play in different graphical “eras” of gaming which neatly correspond to time periods that the heroes travel to. It’s apparently compatible with MFI controllers. If you have a device (or miraculous fingers) on which the controls function better, then Evoland 2 is a solid game with an interesting story. Combined with what felt like very glitchy controls on the iPhone X, it ended up unplayable.
