Evoland 2 Customer Service

I loved Evoland but it was ultimately more of a fun novelty game than anything. Evoland 2 is very much a real game with a rich story and fleshed out characters. The levels were lengthy and satisfying with each boss battle referencing a different game franchise. There’s a good sized map with several different areas that you experience across 3 timelines. There’s plenty to do and loads of optional collectables. I just finished right at 18 hours and I only got 85% completed. So it could easily be a 20 hour game. Ultimately, I loved Evoland 2. It’s evident the devs poured everything into making it the best game they could possibly make - and I think they pulled it off… for the most part. My few (but important) complaints: 1. The game randomly crashed about 5 or 6 times during my play through (on my iPhone 11). A text box would pop up and I’d have to hard reset. 2. Some of the dialogue could’ve probably been cut. I read everything at first, but by the end I found myself skipping a lot of the long text slogs. Not to mention, the story gets a bit overly convoluted. 3. This is a small one, but when using a Maglith, it would’ve been nice to be able to select PAST PRESENT or FUTURE instead of having to go through the cycle each time to get to whichever time you need to be in. 4. The main attack button covers up a portion of the text when it happens to be on the right side of the screen. So I just had to guess on a few words. Great game 👍🏻 I really hope there’s an Evoland 3!

This game is a vast improvement from the first. Evoland’s gameplay felt more like a gimmick. With the amount of times the game evolves from early on it felt like each section was fiery brief, especially the Final Fantasy combat in the beginning. It only lasted to grind money to get a new sword and then for 1 dungeon, then you don’t see it again for a while until the end. Evoland 2 has great gameplay with an amazing story that makes it feel like it’s own game beside just being OH remember this from the past! I’d honestly recommend this game to anyone who wants something to play on the phone for a long time. I’m only on my 11th hour and am probably only halfway through. I’ve also been seeing many complaints over the control layout, mainly during the mountain platforming. The controls are fine, it’s just challenging to do. Get Good.

One of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. For me, this game is among the greats: Chrono Trigger, Legend of Zelda, etc. The Evoland 2 offers great storytelling and constantly switches up the format so you’re never bored. Beyond your standard RPG platforms (of essentially every variety) Evoland 2 has Final Fight, Street Fighter, Guitar Hero, and Bejeweled-style games, plus the ever present card battle mini-game. I’m the kind of player that usually needs a walkthrough to get through tougher parts of RPGs, but this one is pretty easy in terms of figuring out what the next step in the storyline is and solving puzzles. I was thoroughly entertained and sad when I beat it. The only drawback is the frustrating controls. You can’t turn around suddenly and attack, for example. And unless you hit the screen exactly where the “buttons” are, nothing happens; which really drives you crazy if you have big thumbs like me. If the developers fixed that problem, I don’t see how the game could get any better.

So far I’m 10 hours into the game (aiming for the 100% completion), the graphics are nostalgic paired with the music. With great inside jokes and references to other games an amazing lore and also a secret lore for those who can decipher the rest. Amazing story compared to the last Evoland. However they’re are glitched for one in alpha mountain when I go 2D I’m not able to jump or that the jump button disappear. Next thing is during the campaign on demon island for some odd reason the game glitches to where I can’t make move my character thus soft-locking the game, and the only way to do this is restart the fight but the same glitch happens over again and again (really hope this could be fixed with a bug patch), another thing is sometimes the game also crashes not sure why though. Over all this is an amazing game and it’s worth the price however there’re are some bugs. Hopefully the devs fix this when the next patch comes out.

Hi...so I almost NEVER write these things because I’m lazy and apps don’t normally move me very much. However this app has it all - every genre I can think of outside of an FPS experience is what you will get with this app - a choice team of characters you can build up throughout the story, and a plot line and world that by the end you really CARE about. It’s rare that I care for a game, let alone an app; this game had me dodging work to continue playing it until the end, and I highly suggest it to most people out there - it’s truly worth your time, I promise. That being said, I got two main detractors from this otherwise pretty spotless game: 1. Controls can get pretty wonky and unresponsive at times when you need them to be at their best, which I think is what most people reviewing this app seem to get fed up with. I used default settings though and managed to get through the game relatively unscathed, although some parts I did have to work at a bit before I could progress. TIGHTER CONTROLS WOULD BE AMAZING. 2. Devs, GOD I love this game (even more than Evo I,) but for the love of all that is real the endings of these games stink, man! Give us something we want to see and feel like we earned not some loopy way to finish the experience (wink wink) I WANT A MORE RESOLVED ENDING FOR THE NEXT ONE PLEASE 4.5/5 one of the best apps I’ve ever seen or played

Update: As I’m playing I noticed a bug or issue. I am using a controller that’s supported if that matters. I’m seeing white lines that show on the screen and while moving will go away. New lines stay on screen, as I progress and move it disappears. They are thin and light lines. I’m updating my review since I played the game more. I wrote how the game didn’t seem to show all the words right on my iPhone X. I seen a update came and hopefully that fixed that beginning part. I played more and I am really enjoying it. Controls: I see some complaining about controls but so far I have zero issues with that. To be fair I haven’t played much with the touch screen though. I messed with it. But once I seen the controller I have works perfect with this game I never went back to touch screen. Having a controller with this game really takes it up a notch for me. Gameplay: I’m still in the early stages of this game so I’ll wait to say more. But I am enjoying it so far. I mainly wanted to update this review because of the one star I gave it with it being a new paid game and not being optimized (at least for me) on my iPhone X. I do hope it can we can start getting deeper games on these powerful computers we carry in our pocket. You combine a controller with some of these games and you really have something you don’t normally get on a smartphone.

This is by far the best game on the App Store. You get a ton for your money, no IAP, and it has a full console quality to it. This game is brilliantly developed. For anyone who grew up with games in the 80s and 90s this is like an awesome walk down memory lane. Amazingly this covers about every genre and innovation from throughout that time period. The way that this game seamlessly weaves it all together is indeed impressive. I certainly understand where people are coming from on the controls, especially for the platformer aspects but you do get used to them. I’m not sure the deva really have anything to improve regarding the touch controls. If you want precision then get a Bluetooth game pad. All in all, bravo to the developers. Please keep bringing quality games without IAP like this. I’ll certainly be purchasing your next game.

I rarely take the time to write reviews on games, especially paid ones, but Evoland 2 was simply too good not to share. It’s easy to pick up, and although it can get repetitive and points, holds interest with new twists and gamestyles. The controls are a bit wonky, the story is well-made and the themes are complex. In the original Evoland, traveling through different gamestyles felt forced, but in Evoland 2, traveling between gamestyles is integral to the game. In addition, the game keeps true to it’s “20 hours of gameplay” statement, being very lengthy compared to most other games like it on the app store. All in all, it’s probably one of, if not the, best RPG’s on the app store. Aside from the strange control system, the only other downside to the game is the feeling of emptiness you get when it’s over.

I am super selective when it comes to phone games since I grew up playing console games. I am an avid RPG player and this game did not disappoint at all. I have logged 20 hours, which I rarely get to do with phone games. The concept is great. I also laughed out loud a few times because the references to other games caught me off-guard. I am about to beat the final boss and have collected all but two cards. I was going to wait until I finished everything before submitting my review, but I wanted to support the game now. It is worth the money. Solid gameplay, interesting story, good graphics - definitely recommend. I have played Evoland and Evoland II. I would play another one if it ever gets made!

I love your game, the first was a joy to play and the second is living well up to my expectations, aside from one thing. The snake game, which the last update claims to have fixed, is seemingly impassable. I don’t know if it’s just my phone, but everyone I have sat the game in front of has had great difficulty getting the controls to operate during the mini game. I would really like to proceed with the story, but I’ve been stuck on the stupid snake game Turing test for a week, and I’m starting to wonder if I am human after all. The controls don’t work, fix it please. Edit - I got past it. Whether it was some time away and new eyes and thumbs on the challenge, or the update kicking in for me finally, I’m through the lab. Now I’m back to enjoying the story. Thanks for being such a fast-working and caring team.

Update #2: All the bugs I encountered have now been fixed. Both with fixes and costumer service, I’ve found them to be quick and effective. I for one, have no more complaints! Edit- just found an even worse bug - during the part where you challenge the pirates and have to battle through them all, there is a part where you have to walk along a narrow pathway and then climb up a latter to proceed, but it’s glitched so that I can’t go up the to the next layer. I get to the top of the latter and can’t get past it. I’ve tried quitting and restarting to no avail. It’s completely game breaking as I can’t go back either. This seriously needs a fix. Overall the game is amazing, perfect for anyone who grew up playing games like Zelda and Metroid, but there are a few issues that keep bothering me. The first one is the controls. They are not nearly as responsive as they should be, especially movement controls. It makes combat more difficult than it should be at times. The second issue is specifically related to the iPhone version. Maybe it’s just a problem on older phones, but on my 5s, the resolution is all out of whack, it makes the UI much too small. Specifically when you collect a collectible like a star - the info bar that comes up with what the item is and how many you have is too small to read and all you can make out is the name of the item. I also found this during the battle with the prophet. As well as during the card game - at least I think. I can only assume it’s a UI issue, but for me, that card game just straight up doesn’t work. I don’t know if I’m somehow doing something wrong, but I can’t do anything when the game starts. I can drag my cards around, but that’s it. I can play them or skip my turn or anything. All I can do it leave the match.

This was a great game to play. It was funny, smart in its implementation of classic game styles, and intriguing in its story. I played with a controlled connected to my phone, which is probably the better way to play this game. However, there were many times I was forced to restart due to bugs and error messages popping up (never seen that happen in a game before where an error message appears in the iOS dialogue box style!). This was usually not a big deal; I'd just restart the game and continue on. However, the most notable instance was during the final boss' third phase. I had to exit out and go through all phases again which was.... not great. Still, overall, I'd definitely recommend this game.

This game is wonderful, I want to start with that. Love all the little things thrown in that bring back memories of the early days of gaming. I started playing games on Atari but really started gaming on NES. The story so-far is nice, my only gripe is the controls. They are brutally horrendous. 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. As the game progresses much finer controls are needed to not rip out your hair redoing platform areas and puzzles. Please adjust the controls and this will be a very much more rewarding experience. Thanks for you time, keep up the good work! And the control adjustment......”wink wink”

This game was such a creative idea!! Not just the different graphic styles but also the different gaming styles. I love walking around and noticing the details that serve as tributes to various games (Zelda, chrono trigger, FF7, Professor Layton, Tomb Raider, Super Mario, Space Invader, Street Fighter, and many more). I love the puzzle part that was a tribute to Professor Layton! I downloaded this game on Apple TV and played with a controller. I had no problems with the controls. The game also allows you to choose a level of difficulty and I chose medium (“Good Old Arcade”). And the game is just challenging enough to be fun. It’s never too difficult for me to become frustrated. Totally worth the money!! EDIT: I’m still playing the game, and I noticed a bug. There was a mine cart missing in the second room after the Plum boss fight in mines in the present time period. I exited the mines and re-entered and the mine cart appeared. But this should not be happening... I’m crossing my fingers that this won’t happen when I’m deep in the mines...

I am replaying this during quarantine - and am liking it so much I had to write a review. It’s really a love story to the games we grew up with- mini games in a variety of styles are woven throughout the main game. It feels like 100 games in one, with hours of layered gameplay, a great story with entertaining dialogue, and tons of Easter eggs. There are also many side tasks and quests, adding hours of gameplay. Yes, some of the controls are a little iffy during the mini game portions, especially the d-pad, but it just adds to the challenge. And again, is reminiscent of the games during that time. I’ve had a few issues with crashing, but there are enough save points that it has never been an issue. Highly recommended this for anyone who is a lover of nostalgic games, or is looking for a game to spend a lot of time with. I hope there are more! I played, and loved, the first evoland and this is an amazing addition to the series. A++++

I’ve played and completed this game tons of times and get a different experience each time because of how many things there are to find and collect. But there’s a glitch with getting the ice key fragment. Whenever I try and do a match and attempt to do a special attack, the game crashes. This makes it hard to defeat any of the wikings. Overall it’s a great game with tons of puzzles, it’d be great if you were able to fix the glitch.

Great game! But like many before me that I read before buying the game (hoping it would have been fixed before I bought but unfortunately not) are the complaints of the controls to which instead of making a joystick for the move you should do a D pad like most games for this type of game style does on mobile and it works much better, as well maybe think of making the action button bigger because I’ve had a few times of trying to hit it only to not be doing a thing and then suddenly dying.

Well, it’s a good game! The story at first seemed pretty stupid to me, but it’s a tad interesting once you get into it later on... cuz the story doesn’t bring a whole lot of plot twists, (but still some) but stuff does happen different than how I expected it to. Anyway, I’m late into the game, but I’m stuck! I can’t find out what to do. And, I haven’t entered the app in a long while... I have given up on it. Why isn’t there some sort of feature to prevent little noobs like me for when they just CAN’T do it?! The point of a game is to enjoy it, but being stuck sure doesn’t seem enjoyable in these circumstances...

A lot of people on these reviews are saying that the controls are just atrocious , but that’s simply not true. There is absolutely room for improvement when it comes to very quick and small moves you try to make not registering. But it is not game breaking. I haven’t beaten it yet, but can already say if you liked the first game , but wish there was just a little more to it including story, then you’ll love this game . If you didn’t play the first, but you really like the old school and new school styles of gameboy games and current 3ds, you can’t go wrong

This is by far one of the best games I have every played on my phone and with 13 hours play time and it was the time of my life 13 hours of rushing though btw The game is a true masterpiece I can’t wait for a third and truth be told I would have paid easily dubble and still been happy absolutely wonderfull from memorys to game I will happily recommend this to everyone i know and any one who is playing this. When number 3 comes out idc how exensive number 3 will be imma get it

I’ve had to reopen this game more than 100 times just playing through normally. It crashes when fighting, crashes while flying, crashes during turn based fights, crashes before during and after cutscenes. Crashes when teleporting. It’s not so bad that it’s completely unplayable but it is maddening. The only thing that allows you to keep playing without saving every minute is the auto save. I managed to beat it, but haven’t completed it yet.

This game is amazing. Honestly, it’s extraordinary. So much love and thought and creativity went into it. Some reviews are criticizing the controls, and I will admit that they are less than perfect. Particularly in the airplane shoot-em-up section. That being said, I was able to beat everything in the game on the hardest difficulty (which is pretty hard, actually) so the controls don’t actually prevent you from winning. Story was so good the controls were rarely bat I focused on.

This is one of the best games in the App Store. Controls can be glitchy at times and some levels are slightly too long, but the richness, quality and length of the game easily makes up for it. I’m going on 30 hours of play and still haven’t completed the story and am discovering new things. If you have issues with the controls for certain gameplay styles try tweaking them in the settings. That worked for me.

This game has a lot of content and it took me 19 hours to complete. At its best you are able to choose from a variety of different types of games. However, you will eventually have to go through each of these types whether it’s bullet hell, turn-based strategy, or platformer. Some are done well, most are not. This extends to all elements of Evoland 2, including its story which could be really cheesy sometimes. However, I still liked this game, and it’s better than most iPhone games.

Honestly, I’ve played App Store games all my life, but hands down, this is the most enjoyable, fun, and quirky game I’ve ever played. It improved upon all the areas that were lacking in the first game, paying homage to every generation of consoles, and almost every style of gameplay is featured. 9/10 only because I would have enjoyed more turn based combat.

In the lab, one needs to play the snake game to pass, however, the controls are extremely touchy and will not always make the snake move, making the game next to impossible to complete. As was the case for me at least. Please fix this ASAP, I really like the game and don’t want my adventure to be halted by a simple mal produced controller. The problem is that the outer half of the button on each direction does not work, so often times the snake will either do nothing or go in the wrong direction

Not even a fan of these types of games, but the nostalgia honestly sucked me in and I gave it a try. No regrets as of yet. I see some comments about some parts being really hard, so I hope it’s easier if using a controller like I do. I’d hate for that to ruin the game for me. It has 3 difficulty settings too, so you’d think picking the easier setting would help some people get past the harder parts.

”MeAndMyStick”’s review is unbelievably idiotic... I purchased this game for my IPad pro and it’s full screen and works perfectly!!! The fact he/she openly admits that they can’t figure out how to obtain the sword (Hint: Talk to NPC’s and they tell you what to do and where to go to get it) should be embarrassing for that person! Why people give bad reviews on games that their brains aren’t powerful enough to comprehend is insulting to the developers!!! 🤬 This game is like playing through the history of video games!!! A nearly perfect game with perfect controller support!!! Amazing jobs Devs! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ❤️❤️❤️

Great multi genre RPG with good soundtrack forget what reviewers say of unmemorable tunes each area generally has a unique tune. It’s not to difficult if you’ve ever played alundra on ps1 has many places to explore and secrets not so easy to find.

Its really a great game that gives tribute to all classic genre/gameplay style from past gen. Although, there seems to be a problem with the screen because it doesn’t fit at all. I’m using an Iphone 7 to play this game and the screen is the only issue I had so far. Its a shame that this game has this game has this problem but i hope that this get fixed soon. I won’t play this game as of yet because I feel that the problem will ruin my overall experience hahahaha. 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: Hey devs! Its been almost a week since the game came out and still no update or fix on the screen problem. I already sent an email to you guys regarding this problem and if there’s still no fix for this asap please... I want my money back. Edit: Screen problem fixed and I’m really enjoying the game! If this gets ported to consoles its definitely going to be one of my must buys!

What a change from the first game and for the better. Thank you for making this happen And we are looking forward to the future from the present till it becomes the past and we are looking back at it from the future and playing Evoland 3 :).

Just one bug When you exit out of the game and open it back the music stops playing Other than that it’s a pretty good game so far

The first game was amazing, and this one was even better. It blends a whole bunch of video game genres into one with a ton of references.

We sure need more Games of this genre, pretty hard to find nowadays, well done!!!

This is a super fun, visually pleasing game. there are endless nods to gaming culture and so many different video game modes! the story is pretty interesting too. absolutely worth the play. however, there is a visual glitch while in the past that is extremely distracting and ruins immersion. if they fixed that, this would be a 5 star game.

Super cute concept and great old video game references. I’m enjoying it way more than I expected and it’s refreshing to have a game with no in app purchases or stupid monetization tricks. Just super straightforward fun.

I’ve spent about 2 hours with the game, and it’s super fun. The little shoutouts to other games are hilarious. If you like retro Zelda games it’s Worth the buy 100%

A fun game to play. A nice variety of mechanics so it doesn't feel repetitive.

Thanks for the new update. 3d mode looks amazing with the new additions. But a problem I still have from the last update to this one is that there is still the noticeable stutter when the game is being played in 3d graphics mode. Could you please either make the game more stable when playing in 3d graphics mode or maybe making the game only run at 60fps when transitioning to 3d, while the 2d graphics can run at 30fps so there’s no need to use extra processing power. Thanks

It is good and cool

I was playing the game and an uncaught exception popped up right after I left the city?? Please fix this I really like the game. I’m playing on an iPhone SE 2 and it’s the newest iPhone so I didn’t think I’d have problems

Very great rpg with rich content mixing different mini game plays, different graphic mode, hearthstone-like card collecting, shoot them up, mini puzzles, street fighter(the control a bit hard honesty) and most important it has a great storyline! Only complaint is the guitar hero mini game, can you make the control BIGGER? other than that, I’m just loving it and Keep up the good work,

Outside of a controller, the controls can be a bit frustrating during certain genres, but other then that this game is just so, so good, there really is no way to describe it, just that if you want a game that you will last you a long time and take you through many creative different forms of gameplay, this is the game for you

This was .99 cents? What a steal. Thank you to the developers.

Please make a Evoland 3!!!

Dont recommend it at all... Display is also very low quality...

Hi! Really enjoying the game so far, but I’m in the sylph forest and I’m in the future era, and there are these vines I’m supposed to go through, but the game won’t let me go through them even though I’ve used finas ability and cleared the vines it’s acting as if there is an invisible wall! And I can’t continue the game now!!

The game is amazing! The only downside is that the controls aren’t that responsive sometimes and makes some parts of the game almost feel impossible. I feel like moving around should be more of a swipe in the direction and hold rather than the joystick.

Very cool game. Love the concept and the art! The controls are horrendous.

So good. Plot is awesome. Never crashes. Should be worth $1000000

Im not exaggerating when i say this, but this is the best game i have played in my entire life so far. the references are cool, the humor is amazing, it puts up a decent challenge while still keeping you interested, and even has LORE. when im older, if they release a third, i dont know what i would do to get it. 10/10 would evoland 2 again. if you dont like this game, i hope the disiples throw you into the smug pit.

One of the best games I’ve ever play in this platform. For players: If you’re fan of this genre, you’re not going to be disappointed at all. It has everything action, difficulty, comedy and strategy. It took like 30-ish hours to complete it. Works beautifully with game controller (Nimbus in my case). I played it on iPhone XS, iPad Pro (2018) and AppleTV and iCloud works nice. No In-App purchases. I can’t stress enough how great is to pay for a great game and not feeling scammed by pay-to-win games. Highly recommended. For Developers: Great job overall. I bought all your other games because of this game. Kudos for the game designer and the whole team that made this game possible. I reported bugs with iPhone XS and iPad Pro (2018). Please take care of them and this will improve the costumer satisfaction.

Awesome

Hands down, one of the BEST games I have ever played! Brilliant story, amazing characters and great graphics! What more can ask for? Seriously give it a shot! You won’t regret it! ❤️👍

Already have 12 hours in the game and have some more ahead of me! Definitely pick this one up!

This game is great you get everything retro and more, but it keeps crashing right after Ceres kills the guardian... would be great to finish the game please fix!

Please make an evoland 3 I finish the 1 and 2 ! I really love this game !

Love that you guys added fixed controls. Really helps!!

This game is positively a Gem. Epic plot line, great gameplay and characters that grow on you, A beautifully coded masterpiece. I only have two issues; 1) Fix the glitch that prevents me from flying off Lost Island in the War era after using the pier to go to world map, and 2) add a postgame plot line where you play the Giro events (We all know K and G are one and the same). This game deserves more awards than it has. Bravissimo! And finally, thanks for such a stunning, complex and fun game!

You had me at a troll on an elevator! Game mixes elements from every RPG in a way that doesn’t feel like a novelty act, it feels necessary for the story and works perfectly. The story and gameplay is hilarious and well written. I was engaged from the start and didn’t put this game down for a week. Had over 30 hours of gameplay which rivals any final fantasy or dragon quest game. I admit the controls need fixing on the iPad, certain side scrolling levels were frustrating but after some practice they aren’t as bad as some people make them out to be. I overlooked it because the game in its entirety was too addicting and fun to complain about. This is as good as any Game that costs over $60 on a console...for this price it’s a steal!

Evoland 2 is honestly the best game I’ve played. It’s so nice to journey through time and be refreshed with all the good memories of my past. Play this game, you’ll love it!

Can’t stop playing. A humorous, puzzling, satisfying game with a deeper than expected storyline. Congrats and thanks for the experience !

This Zelda/Chrono Trigger-style game is fun and cute until you reach areas that are impassible without going into new style of gameplay. The Alpha Mountain platform-gameplay level is far too long and frustratingly difficult with the iPhone controls. Then, if you beat that and were hoping to get back to the RPG style-game you are out of luck! That is followed up by an unavoidable, jittery, boring bullet-hell style flying game that is also made nearly unplayable by buggy, bad controls. (The flying thing constantly jumps to the top of the screen!) This section goes on about 3 times longer than it needed to. Then you are forced into a bad street fighter clone that’s also twice as long as it should be, shallow, and frustratingly difficult only because of the controls. All this twee, jokey gaming variation feels like conceited arrogance on the part of the developers that they couldn’t let this be all be shorter and more spaced out, or even optional. (“Hey check out my flying game! Now you need to play my fighting game! I can also do platformers! Is there anything we can’t do!?”) Maybe this game is worth the sale price, if you have patience or a separate controller. The RPG side is fun though, with some very clever levels and funny jokes. Overall, be warned. Frustrating game play from half-baked bad design is so much worse than something that is n intentionally well designed challenge.

If i had left this review before the 3D era this would have been a solid 5 stars. But after reaching Alpha mountain, I am so frustrated I am going to put this game aside. This game has you travel through time. Each jump in time changes the graphics style of the game. You play 8-bit graphics, 16-bit and 3D graphics. The game has an interesting storyline and has been enjoyable to play. A lot of similarities to Zelda. The controls have been fine for the tasks that you are required to do. But in Alpha Mountain that all changed. you need to jump from bouncing mushroom to mushroom and if you do not land on the next mushroom you die. A touch screen does not work well for this, I have spent 60 minutes of jump jump jump die, start over again. You need to jump really high and over multiple obstacles. I do not mind tasks like this that take some skill to complete, but when the reason for failure is not skill, but the poor responsiveness of the controls, it turns a fun game into pure frustration. These types of issues completely ruin a game. Yesterday I was looking forward to playing this game and seeing how the story ends. Today I have given up in frustration and am looking for a new game to play.

The first Evoland was fun and fresh, and felt like there was always something neat around the corner. This one sort of cut all the stuff that made the first one good and replaced it with a generic little old-school Zelda-style action game with only minor references to the past mechanics (like the opening scene). I was hoping to get some of the same gimmicky fun of the first one, but this one seems to have gone in a completely different direction. I’ve only played it for a couple of hours, to be fair, but in that time aside from the opening the “evo” gimmick popped up once, in a not very noticeable way. I spent the last 40 minutes pixel-hunting for the final 6th item I’m supposed to be finding in a forest where everything looks the same. The level design in this area is terrible. The combat controls are also quite bad, although the combat is mostly sort of a secondary thing and is never very difficult (even if you’re getting hit a lot because the controls are bad). Maybe it was designed to work with a gamepad, idk. Anyway, I wouldn’t recommend it based on what I’ve played, especially when the original Evoland exists and is much cheaper and more fun.

This game has many extremely good ups and annoying downs. The time travel is fun with three different times to play around with. The story has had me extremely invested and I’m about 13 hours in at the moment. This game finds it’s faults in very frustrating sections. With the mini games that use the d pad that looks like a plus sign the controls are extremely finicky and hard to use. These are very simple games but I found myself stuck on them having to try over and over again only winning when I got lucky. Not only that but when I finished most of the games my phone died, the game didn’t save between the sections so I had to start all over. For problems I had with the time eras the 3D time era is extremely rough around the edges and can have some very bad looking graphics. The other two time eras have better combat and look much better. I only wish more time was spent developing the third time era as whenever I encountered it I almost always wanted to immediately go back to one of the two other eras. There are good puzzles in this game but some don’t have their rules fully laid out before you solve them. During a point in the game when I went to the island where time is merged together I almost tore out all my hair out due to one puzzle that I knew how to solve but I didn’t understand how to do the things I needed to solve it. I had to give up, and that’s a shame because I had spent a really long time figuring out all of the different variables in the puzzle, I just couldn’t do the one thing the game wanted me to do. Maybe I’m just stupid but I’ve had no trouble solving the other puzzles I’ve come across thus far into the game. This game is fun but with all this frustration I wonder if I even want to continue playing. If you want a fun game and can handle tedious controls and frustrating points then I would suggest this game to you. If you can’t handle that I would stay away.

I like the premise of the game and the different mediums it runs through but have a big issue with the controls. I am at the point where I am in 3D land and need to hop over mushrooms. Sadly the developers didn’t consider why we don’t have instant kill platform levels anymore or at the very least ones without decent controls. If they gave you d pad to control the side scrolling parts like they do in other parts of the game it’d be fine, but the issue is there is run and super run speed with a hair of space in between rendering accurate platforming nes levels of difficult. Also, as well intended as the references are in the game it starts to get a little old when it feels like something you’d see in kingdom hearts. Sadly, a lot of these references won’t hold up with time and it can really kill the atmosphere of the game for pushing the 4th wall a bit too much. It almost comes off as a terrible meme and your second party member acting as the straight man is one of the few redeeming values so far.

Overall the game is pretty great. Combat is similar to Zelda, characters are funny and quirky, and the music sounds great. However, it all starts to fall apart when the 16 bit era is unlocked. There is an annoying graphical error that occurs when moving up/down that causes black horizontal lines to appear and flash as you are moving. If you are moving left to right then white vertical lines appear, but they did not give me a headache the same way moving up/down the screen did. During this section there were a few annoying missions like moving the mammoths correctly or the sewer mission, but the graphical error does not appear to occur when the game transitions into 3D. I truly hope the Devs see this and fix this issue as it occurs for the first 1-3 hours of the game and it nearly made me uninstall it. The controls aren’t perfect either, but they were not awful to me anyway and certainly not as awful as the black line glitch. Once the issue is fixed I would be more than happy to change my score based on the incredible production value of this game and how it experiments with different genres of games.

I was at the point where you enter the mine to find Reno and Plum conversing. I went through the whole mine and got to the boss fight with Plum. After dying multiple times, I quit the app only to find out that when I went back in, none of my progress had saved. This happened again after going through the mine and this time defeating Plum. My progress was lost. I had then continued to play for hours, getting very far and found that if I didn’t close the app upon locking my phone, the game would be alright. After getting two of the five Magi keys, the game crashed and when I opened it back up I was back in the mine. Everything that I had done was gone. I am very angry and want to continue the game but do not want to lose my progress. This game is very good and I love it a lot but if I can’t get anywhere without having to do it all over again, I don’t want to keep wasting my time. Please fix this! I want to beat this game and get all the cards and stars so bad, but sadly I can not. Please fix.

It’s a incredible improvement over the first Evoland! This game actually knows what it wants to be and it’s enjoyable story fits perfectly with the journey through the evolution of video games. There are some technical hold ups however, for one guys, please fix the controls when playing through the polygon era. The control stick gets stuck a lot and the player can’t move also if you’re going to have a floating movement stick there should also be an option for a floating attack stick. One HUGE glitch that needs to be fixed quickly is when you’re playing and an incoming call interrupts your game, it shuts off all sound in the game when you finish the call and go back. Then you have to shut the game off and restart it for the sound to return. Otherwise, this is a very unique and amazing game that I will still recommend to my friends. Thank you for making this better!!! 🤘🏽

The game is cool, but for a game that I paid $8.00 for, you’d think the controls would actually... work? Constantly throughout the game, I’d press the attack or jump button and nothing would happen. It’s maddening. The direction button is no better. I’m well over halfway through the game at the time of writing this, and I was hoping as the game ‘evolved’ the controls would get better, but no luck, and I’m debating deleting the game now... but... $8... There’s also a weird glitch that occurs when you hit buttons incorrectly, or accidentally bring up your phone menu (which is easy to mistakenly do with the way the buttons are designed) and it will automatically load the game menu. It happens maybe twice a minute. And my thumbs are stick thin. I can’t imagine how infuriating all of this must be with big ‘ol Mickey Mouse thumbs. I want to give this 5 stars, but at times it’s so frustratingly unplayable, and it’s just the controls!! Everything else is pretty great!

I love RPG and Adventure games. This game started off really fun with old-school rpg characteristics. Unfortunately that is only a very small part of this game. It devolves into a way more difficult (even on the easiest setting) platforming game that quickly becomes frustrating and arduous. I hate platform style games and the climb up the mountain became so frustrating and difficult that I quit the game and wish I hadn’t wasted my money. This could have been a really great Zelda-type game but is ruined by overly difficult platforming. I wish the developers had taken the good qualities of the rpg game they developed and omitted the terrible parts like the climb up the mountain. From reading the other reviews I see that I’m not the only one who feels this way. I think if they create a new rpg game and keep it a true rpg game they’d have a nice product.

This game is frustrating. The story makes me want to continue but it is so littered with bad game design choices coupled with unresponsive controls. Numerous times I will be going against a timed segment only to be instantly killed regardless of the various methods I use to try to progress. I have literally said out loud “why on earth would you design a game like this?” at least 30 different times throughout my 6 hour play through. I really like the game but the gimmick segments can be extremely painful and infuriating. For a game with so much thought and love put into the writing it is really disappointing to be blocked from profession due to a poorly made gimmick or level design. The rooftop chase being particularly terrible and the glowing block “puzzle” coming close. The game requires really tight controls that just are not present making things like rhythm segments very difficult.

The good parts of this game are very good, but a lot of the experience, especially on mobile, is unpolished or outright bad. Controls are ok at best, but at their worst they are extremely frustrating to use. Some boss fights/mini games required for progression are so absurdly difficult (even more so because of the controls) that they just make you want to stop playing. The game also lacks direction at times, the lack of a quest log and sometimes unclear objectives have caused plenty of frustration and wasted time in my playthrough. In one instance I resorted to looking up a guide while attempting to solve an unsolvable puzzle because the dialogue failed to make clear that I needed to first travel across the map to pick up a required item. In another instance unclear objectives led to me aimlessly wandering the map until I found the storyline again because one missed dialogue box can mean you have absolutely no idea how you are supposed to continue. This game would greatly benefit from the inclusion of a quest log. I wish I could recommend this game. The storyline is intriguing and the gameplay is creative and unique. But due to its often unrelenting and unrewarding difficulty, which is caused by poor level and interface design, it isn’t worth the frustration.

The developers clearly put a ton of love into this game. It’s long and consistently innovative, with a cool story and no grinding. It’s a legit AAA experience. I was 14 hours in and had spent a weekend beating some extremely challenging dungeons, mini games, and bosses, and then in the morning my game had lost 7 hours of progress. (All that remained, weirdly, were my achievements.) I was crushed. Apparently they’ve fixed this problem now, but it’s too late for me. No matter what I do, my game loads at around the 7 hour mark. I don’t have the time or energy to replay all those hours. But if it’s truly fixed, I would still recommend this game to anyone who loves retro RPG/adventure games. I wish I could’ve seen it though to the end!

It’s a solid game but oh my god are the controls unresponsive and the combat is actual garbage. The invincibility after getting hit doesn’t last long enough especially when you’re getting pushed around constantly. The CONSTANT freezing and crashing is insane. How has this game been around this long and these issues are still a thing? If you switch apps and come back, there’s a very good chance it will crash and you’ll lose all your progress thanks to the terrible save system in place. On top of that, doing stuff like the puzzles when you’re back in Genova to get the books or whatever, the game constantly freezes while doing these god awful puzzles.

This game is wonderful if you RPG / Platform / Gaming History. So much to do and a great little story. But the controls are absolutely the most awful controls I’ve ever used on iPhone. Makes some of the simplest things frustratingly difficult. Evoland 1 worked well on iPhone. Evoland 2 is a pain. Especially on the platforming portions. 5 star game. 1 star controls. Also will randomly crash if you get a notification or alarm on your phone. Sound goes out and when you get to the next save point the game will crash. If these issues were fixed, it would easily be one of the best games for iPhone.

On of the best mobile games I have ever played. It is really good. The touch controls are probably the worst I have played, and I mean bad. I dealt with it until I got to the Anomaly boss and now it's completely unplayable. The joystick never goes back to its original position whether it's locked or not. Which is really frustrating when you need to run, and it will only let you walk because the joystick is jammed up against the edge of the screen. The buttons are too small and when switching from adventure mode to platform the buttons move. They're just awful. That said the game itself is fantastic and super fun.

After purchasing this game for our Apple TV 4, my kids and I played for about 30 - 40 minutes, saved two games, and then quit. When we opened the application the next day to continue our adventures, we saw that both games had been erased! As a test, we started up a new game, saved it, proceeded past the first checkpoint and then exited to the game menu. We saw that the saved game was present in the menu. Next we quit to the Apple TV home screen and immediately reopened the game. The saved file had again disappeared. I performed one more test later that evening, deliberately stepping on every glowing checkpoint/save game spot until reaching the arena challenges. Exiting to the game menu showed the saved file and allowed me to return to the story where I left off. However, quitting to the Apple TV home screen once again deleted the saved game. EL2 boasts 20 hours of gameplay, but I am sure that this does not mean playing for 20 consecutive hours. I e-mailed the developers and was told that they are currently working on a fix. However the last EL2 update was in Aug 2018, so this issue has persisted for 7 months.

Why do you have us impulsively side with one of the demons without knowing anything about her? You have us forsake humans and take them out to protect a demon, after the events tell us that the demons are the cause of the war? The cause of great casualties. We aren’t given any context clues or reason to believe she is “good,” but if you choose the pointless text option to not save the demon, your companion threatens to not help you anymore. It makes no sense to betray humans, when the story tells you the demons are the root of all evil. It feels like you’re being gas lit out of no where into helping one. Make it make sense on a narrative level. Bad writing, good mechanics.

After 27 plus hours of gameplay I got stuck on the hidden island. No mater what I do I can’t fly or sail off of this island. When I looked it up on google to see if I was doing something wrong, I saw that they fixed the problem. I looked and there was an update so I downloaded it. The fix must have been for the computer version cause I’m still stuck on an island where all I got was a card so I’m irritated I even landed on the island. I really want to finish the game but starting from the beginning at this point is not going to happen. I msgd the developer and am just waiting for an email response that I thought I would have gotten by now because it was a couple hours ago.

Im dropping this review to 2 stars from my previous 3. Im about 10 hours in, and my patience is wearing thin. This game is slowly becoming the Prince of Persia, Warrior Within level of frustration for me... Made it past The Rooftop Stage, the Mine Stage and now Im into the Lab Stage. I beat Reno, walked around the lab for a sec, and turned off my phone to go to real world stuff. When I came back, I found that the game didn't save any progress, I had to fight Reno again (even though the Lab Door opened...) and tap through the entire dialogue again. I could have overlooked a few things, but those little things, dodgy controls, ambiguous saving, and levels that just go on really, really start to make what should be a delightful romp into a drag... Im kind of getting to the point where I just don't care anymore, and I can say this for certainty: It is not at all a game worth 4.99. Wait for it to go on sale for .99 // Maybe you were going for a total retro experience with the intent in saying that 90's controllers were awful, and therefore these controls should be awful. But I don't recall my NES, my SNES, my N64, my PS, or PS2 controlls being this awful. In fact, I can honestly say, they weren't awful! They were great! This games controls are awful! The game itself is endearing and fun. Lots of enjoyable little gags and quirks that make it fun to play! However, be prepared when going into a boss fight, you may be scratching your head wondering why your not jumping, or shooting a Hadoken, or anything. Its not you, its the game. Having played Capcoms Street Fighter games on iOs, and easily pulling off the same moves (and not the one button press moves), it really isn't me ... it's you. Id be quite upset if I had paid full price for this game and encountering the same controls issue. Please fix this -- its the only thing preventing this game from being a five star story!

The story and game are solid. Albeit, this game has copied almost every successful NES/SNES GAME EVER MADE. Plot is practically Crono Trigger with injections of Street Fighter, Bomberman, even a SHMUP(think 1942). Unfortunately, the controls are so absolutely poor the game becomes unenjoyable, practically refund worthy. Your character can barely move around the RPG map. Imagine trying to beat a shmup with barely the ability to go left or right. There are plenty of games on iOS with good controls. The devs seem to have imitated every other game they somehow couldn’t find a good controller to imitate. I’m sure the game is great on other platforms with a controller but on iOS the game is barely playable.

Touch controls are buggy and often get stuck so I can’t move. The concept is fun and the level design generally interesting. I love the tributes to genres and gaming eras, but I’m going to have to stop now that I am in the 3D world with controls that keep screwing up. I was able to muddle through and now I at a small mini game of Pac-Man that has controls that I have to tap on like crazy to get them to do anything. Plus Pac-Man gets stuck on the walls when you push a direction too early. What a waste of all this effort to create this game, just to put in so little effort where it really counts.

This is an early review as i am still early in the game. For a game that is compatable for iphone 5s, i cannot fathom why i am in an early dungeon and my game slows to a crawlon my iphone 7 plus. To the point that i feel like i an trying to play crysis max graphics on a toaster from 2003. My frames cant be higher than 20 at any point in my gameplay and it infuriates me as i am trying my hardest to keep an open mind because i love games like this. I honestly cant see myself completing the game if i cant pass this dungeon because i die by traps because my game is too slow to properly react to my controls.

Unfortunately, I am seeing a similar issue to what the other reviewer mentioned. On my iPhone 6s, the losing screen fills the entire display, but after that, the game screen is only in the bottom left corner, although the on-screen buttons seem to be responsive for the positions they would be in if it filled the entire display. I’m hoping this will be patched soon, but it’s a bit disappointing after I just paid a decent amount of money (for an app), and it’s not really usable. For the record, I’m not using a controller, and I downloaded version 1.0.4.

Why?

3 stars because even though it's a great concept and fun game the glitchy controls make it frustrating and repetitive in the side scrolling levels. The d-pad forgets you're still using it and that gets in the way of gameplay.

Downloaded the game. No sound. Reinstalled the game still no sounds. Playing on a new iPhone 10 XS max. Please fix

Combat is not fun at all. Very frustrating movement controls with extremely basic combat.

Great game and all but the control, especially for the mini game really sucks. The pc version might be better but the control on the iPhone version gets so frustrating

While it improves on the first Evoland in most areas, Evoland 2 on iOS still has some issues. Where the original Evoland used the ever-changing nature of the game’s play and presentation as a gimmick, Evoland 2 tries to weave that into the narrative, and it works for the most part. The gameplay is now mostly ARPG style, with some 2D action bits thrown in, not unlike Link’s Awakening. The controls are a bit clunky, but they get the job done. The game isn’t currently optimized for the iPhone XS, as dialogue boxes are frequently obfuscated by the black part of the phone at the top of your screen. I’ve also experienced issues where the audio crashes in the game, and parts of the sound stop playing.

Am I the only one experiencing the game crashing? I keep getting an error message saying “uncaught exception” otherwise the game would be 5 stars. I can’t advance because I keep having to replay the same scene over and over.

I cant continue to play because of the horrendous controls in the game. The controls in the game are the worst controls Ive ever experienced in any type of ios games so far. Overall contents are good. This will surely be at least 4 stars game if the controls become user friendly.

Waste of money:) wish i could give it 0 star

I really like this game but now I’m stuck, cause I’m in the haunted forest trying to get the last ghost so I’m in the underground where it’s supposed to change to the side scroller but my screen doesn’t come up with the jump button, it has the joystick button and the attack button but no jump and you can’t get through it if you can’t jump, so can someone please tell me why it’s doing this, i sent a message to app support but haven’t seen a reply yet, please help!!!!

The kind of game that need a joystick! I wasted my money on an unplayable game

It’s a fun game, but the controls are very poor. Moving around quickly (or at all sometimes) can be very aggravating. I have a hard time staying interested because of this problem. Shame really. It seems quite fun otherwise.

But the dialogs are unnecessarily long and boring. Every little sequence needs a back and forward banter. It’s gets annoying fast

The controls are frustrating. Half the time, no matter how or where you move your thumb on the circle that’s supposed to make your character walk or go up and down a ladder, nothing happens. Or the jump button doesn’t work and then you die. And die. And die.
