Evoland Customer Service

I picked this game up because it was on sale and I had always wanted to give it a try. The concept of the game is very well thought out and executed, sending you through the world picking up chests that alter every aspect of the game from the visuals to the core gameplay mechanics, guiding you on a journey through RPG history. It was very enjoyable seeing all the little nods and also immediately picking up on the inspirations when the gameplay would change, giving me an idea of what might come next. However, the game is extremely short and could have brought a much broader and lengthier experience to bear. Just as I began to really enjoy the experience, the curtain closed and the credits rolled, leaving me wanting more. My rating of Evoland is a solid 4/5. While the game is fun and enjoyable, it is too short to really be able to enjoy the concept to its fullest. With Evoland 2 out now on IOS, I recommend foregoing this entry and jumping straight into it’s sequel, which appears to be a lengthier experience.

Evoland II is a much fuller game. Evoland was more of a short technical experiment, which proved to generate a lot of interest. One of the most profound parts of both games is they help me see how a game's look and genre defines the experience. Evoland single handedly helped me realize I don't like the JRPG genre, although I appreciate qualities of some of the games that display it. It also helped me see I do appreciate modern graphics, although I am hooked on some charming classic games. Evoland is designed as a walk through the evolution of games, but it just might evolve how you look at them.

I have played games like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Trigger and many other RPGs and this game is giving me some major nostalgia vibes. Even though it mirrors many games it stays fresh with this concept of finding better graphics on chest as loot to improve your game. The weird part about it is that even if it didn’t have that I could have easily played this game as a over the top 2D Zelda clone. Very well put put together. Money well spent and it just keeps getting better and better after every chest you find. It really shows you the power that we hold on our hands with these devices.

If you have ever cut every last blade of grass in Hyrule, learned every Moogle dance, raised every Mana Seed to level 8, changed clothes three times to give cider to an old man, or read every gravestone in Arcanum, this game is your crack. What starts with a brief blunder through monochrome 8-bit animation, grows with the progression of technology and storytelling as you earn “color” and “background music”, and later “monsters” and “side quests”... I think I’m at about 1994 now, and loving every second of it! Well worth the price of admission. Much less hassle than blowing on cartridges.

Evoland is more of a creative homage to the history of role-playing games than a game in its own right--and interpreting it as such is the key to maximum enjoyment. Everything's a bit shallow from the plot to the gameplay, but everything is also a reference. The one thing I truly wish it had though was controller support, because the touch screen controls are clunky and in a few places virtually unbearable. But again, the real merit of this product is as interactive history more so than as a game.

Evoland is overall a smart idea for a game. It is quite fun, and I’ve spent lots of time playing this game. Now there are issues. One, hit boxes in 3D zones are absurd. I got hit by a fireball I clearly wasn’t near. And occasionally, the game seems overly difficult and complicated. Sometimes I’ll get stuck in a certain part, and it seems crazy difficult to accomplish. Other than that, if you want a nice indie game or are thinking about getting Evoland II but are not sure, this is a great game to play!

This game is fantastic! I have only played for about a half hour but i had such a fun time so far! This game has definitely had a lot of effort put into it! Honestly i would gladly pay 10$ for this game! i don’t know how long this game is and that may or may not change my rating but so far so good. although i think you definitely could of stretched out the first 10 min and added some more monsters.

The game is a good standalone rpg made for fans of all kinds of video games. It will take roughly 4-5 hours to finish a regular playthrough and roughly 7-8 to get 100% completion. It executes the gimmick shown in the trailer fairly well, but at a certain point it drops off and becomes a sort of open world rpg. While not exactly deep, for a five year old game on mobile, it's offers a nice, short story. It also does a good job homaging older titles if your into references. There's a couple flaws, of course. The most notable one, which may come from its inspiration, is how unnecessarily grindy it is. This will probably make a 100% completion take 3-4 hours longer but does not affect regular gameplay. I rated it 4/5 because of this and the final chapter. It's a very abrupt end and the final boss is more of an annoyance than a challenge.

The game itself was truly amazing. The little history of gaming display was very well done. The gameplay was puzzling and that was perfect. I liked the different areas that changed the game. To Zelda. To FinalFantasy. To Diablo. To the others, it was amazing. Wished it could have definitely been longer and have had way more of a longer story too. Looking forward to maybe playing Evoland 2. Good cost for this game.

This game is amazing. As someone who has played adventure games since the game Adventure on Atari 2600, the feeling of nostalgia I received from this game was incredible. It pays such a fun tribute to the different eras of adventure games in such a seamless fashion. My only complaint is that it isn’t longer, but it was worth the $0.99. I look forward to playing Evoland 2, and hope it is only an extension of this homage to old school games.

I love this game but really wish I could play it on my Apple TV, as with Evoland2. It’s important to be consistent! Both apps should be downloadable on that device. To the Development team: thank you for making such a fun game!! Please update this app so it can be played on Apple TV!

This isn’t that big of an issue but whenever I try to play the game the audio for the sound effects and music is skip every few seconds. I’ve played this game on mobile before in the past years ago and that was never a thing. Now it is and it’s very distracting. Please fix.

This is a fabulous rpg. I also like how it’s sort of a timeline of the years of rpgs. It has a great plot and a whole lot of foreshadowing. It definitely is worth the $0.99. Also there’s lots of secrets and places you can visit after beating the game that you wouldn’t visit in a normal run. It will turn from pixelated, to not so pixelated, to almost like survival craft. It’s great. Press [get] to download it it’s great.

Absolutely loving it! I grow up with this type of games (FFVII is one of my fav) and seeing this wonderful smashup of genres into one is amazing! Every reference, every joke I’m savoring it! Kudos to all the team that made piece of art this possible. I don’t want it to end but I already bought Evoland 2 soooo can’t wait to play that one as well!!!!

I played the game start to finish and hit every achievement and think it was great. For a bit I got the movement bug that a lot of people were talking about but it wasn’t game breaking and went away eventually. I am very much looking forward to Evoland 2!

I don’t write very many reviews, but I made an exception for this game! It is wonderfully nostalgic, while still presenting it in a new way. I loved seeing the cheeky references to my favorite classics! I highly recommend this game to anybody and everybody who enjoyed the classic games or just wants to play a great mobile adventure RPG!

This is by far the greatest game I have ever played in my entire life of retro and indie gaming. It’s a great mix of 8/16 bit games as well as modern games and it has a very smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience. It’s almost like it’s familiar to me without ever playing it before!

This was an extremely enjoyable trip through RPG game history. The game captures the feel of games from decades ago and has some awesome humor, much of which involves inside jokes of classic games. It is tedious in a few spots, but overall a joy to play.

There aren’t many words to describe this game, it’s simply amazing. The best mobile game I’ve ever played in my entire laugh. I would spend upwards of hundreds of dollars on sequels set in the same world as Evoland. Absolutely awesome. Such a new and creative way to showcase the history of many rpg’s. 👍🏻👍🏻

I come across a game that is just kind of fun. This is one of those games! Endearing, and almost annoying with some of the tropes, but that is part of the charm of the early 8 bit games! A delightful romp through RPG history that is satisfying and fun.

Not gonna lie I actually started to tear up it's like my childhood unfolding but instead of watching it you play it out. This is a gem and anyone on the fence just do yourself a favor and get this. 10/10 for embodying the definition of nostalgia.

This game is pure joy - am amazingly smart and thoughtful homage to all of my favorite video games and a darn fun game in its own right. Definitely worth your time and money. This is one of the best games I have ever played on mobile or otherwise.

I like the game. Concept and all, but why can’t I switch between playing on iPhone and iPad? I started on my phone and now I would like to continue on my iPad but I can’t? I don’t want to start over.... it took too long to get where I’m at. Bummer.

With elements of Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Mario, Diablo, and more, Evoland takes you through any classic gamer’s nostalgic wonderland. Upgrading not only your character in the game but the game itself provides a wonderful sense of progression and achievement.

The mobile controls are not really fit for this game, and it won’t work with controller:( Other than this, the game is small and with a sense of humor

I’ve played maybe the first 45 minutes and the amount of classic RPGs that have been referenced is amazing. Well thought out and well put together

Great idea and really fun to play, but it’s missing the heart of most of the games it reminds you of. It’s extremely short, far too easy, and plot is very shallow.

It was an awesome ride down memory lane. From Claud’s sword to a very funny loot system in a diablo-esque dungeon. I love it and I’ll support this studio as long as they keep bringing out games like this!

Read and reply! This game is awesome it has Zelda and final fantasy fighting mechanics, plus, double twin from FF VII, and I like that the third sword you get is the legendary sword, which is clearly the buster sword from FF VI, and the evolutions of gaming really come to life!

This is the most entertaining game I’ve played in a long time. It might be nostalgia talking :) I would love to see a tvOS version with controller support. Thanks for this game, I’m off to play Evoland 2!

Certainly worth every penny. I bought it because it looked fun but the game developers obviously had a fun time making it. Good game.

This game is action packed full of fun and a story that draws you into it, I’m halfway through the second one Evoland 2, I haven’t had this much fun since Nintendo 64, snes etc. give it a try I promise it’s worth it

This game is very cool and creative, I especially like how it gets better and better. Definitely worth it.

The humor in the evolution of games was great. Albeit short, I think the game was very creative. When I finish it (about to beat the final boss), I will play Evoland2.

Brought me back to my roots on the games I loved growing up. Just fun. I wish it was longer.

Manages to tip its hat to the past without being cheesy. Far from a gimmick, the devs have managed to make it an integral part of the gameplay. Fun game.

Fun game but make the buttons bigger or farther apart or both, I don't even have big fingers but I started a new game instead of continuing so many times and I got really far and had to restart. Extremely annoying

Great game! A little short but definitely worth the $2. It’s like a mini Zelda.

I found the whole premise to be very creative and interesting! Fun gameplay with a decent enough story, would reccomend.

It is a very great game and i love how it evolves over time but I don’t like how small the buttons are on the main menu. I was on the final boss and accidentally hit “new game” instead of “continue” because of how small they are.

It's a great game! I will say that it might have been more fun (and got that 5th star) if the levels weren't so tedious and the extras so hard to find. Liked the card game in it, the end boss fight, and the first village best. I will also add that I bought it on the discount (cost 99c) so it seemed more than reasonable for that price.

I don’t know if there is a “best in class” for this, but I’m totally impressed. Awesome little game for a buck. Huge value for a simple short game. Very basic in controls, story, and short playtime. Ended up finishing in one evening, but was really enjoyable. The retro progression was a very unique take. A bit derived, but they do quote the inspiration behind the different game “stages” of development. Game moves quick and keeps you sucked in! I’ll be buying number 2. Hope it’s longer for the higher price.

I played this game so much loved it! I ended up failing out of medical school but that’s OK. The game is so good it makes not being a doctor worth it!

This game brought back so many memories from childhood. The gameplay is such an awesome idea, and they design it well. The only downsides I saw were that the campaign is rather short (I finished in around 2 hours), and id like to see some sort of mini map. But other than those, its honestly a must buy game.

Loved the game in every aspect, challenging and fun, I JUST LOVE IT after finishing it at 100%, i restarted it right away, worth my spendings.

I really enjoyed playing this little gem of a game but for people buying it just know that it is not a long game. I completed the game in one evening but with its current discount meaning I only spent $0.99 on the game made it totally worth it! I’ve just bought Evoland 2 and hope it is also this good PS: Be careful on the main menu, it’s quite easy to hit new game!

Really creative and funny!

I've never seen a game like this before, it's just so AMAZING, thank you so much for making this awesome gameplay!!!

I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it and also One more thing I love it

Beautiful concept to the game, half decent story line, only drawbacks are it is too short. For the 5 bucks I paid for this game I expected it to take me many hours to beat; you can probably beat this game in one sitting. Still, it's worth it to play it over again.

This game have everything to be the best!! The most original game of all. Too short, please do something bigger and this game will creat a new gender of game:)!

It is perfect everything I would have wanted it is amazing to play the only complaint is the small amount of knowledge we get about the storyline of some characters and the fact that you can't save after the final boss to explore some more, but other than that absolutely great game!

Fantastic parade of and tribute to the adventure genre. Manages to rise above just using different eras (which would have been impressive enough) and actually does some clever things mixing them together. One complaint is the controls are a little loose which only becomes an issue towards the very end.

Thank you for this app now for iPhone !!!

Very good! Buy this game

The game keeps crashing when I get the HD background or try to play double twin. Please fix this. Other than that, awesome game!

Evoland is perhaps one of my favourite purchases in recent memory, and I do not regret it in the slightest. Humorous, although relatively simple gameplay compared to a normal game of the genre(s). Of particular note is a refreshing spin on puzzles around the 3/4 mark (even if they aren't the toughest in the world, but that's normal for an RPG 😉). But bah, all this whining about how expensive this is really gets my goat for some reason. Even going back 5-10 years ago, you would easily pay more than double this amount for an often-terrible bargain-bin console game, and those often didn't provide the level of enjoyment I got from this game. Maybe the complainers should review console game prices over the years (the evolution of them, if you will 😉) before saying this is too expensive. All this to say, I hope Evoland 2 will eventually come to iOS... although given the sentiments in several of these reviews w.r.t. the first game's price, I can see why a mobile release doesn't appear to be planned. 😢

Very good game! The evolution of the graphic is so nice, the game is just enough hard and fun, worth it very much in my opinion

This is a great game and I absolutely LOVE the evolving concept as you play, but the game started to crash when I enter into a new screen after 4 or 5 times. Please, please, please fix this bug and I will give it a 5* rating. I really want to finish it and see what upgrades I get.

I'm not sure if it is the constant references to other great games, funny captions when you unlock new items, or the amazing progression in graphics that makes this game awesome. One thing is certain though… THIS GAME IS WORTH THE MONEY AND IS ONE OF THE BEST RPG'S I HAVE EVER PLAYED!

Best game ever!

I LOVE IT. Amazing fun game. But I'm stuck at the crystal guardian, i can defeat him but it crashes when it goes into 3D.

One of the best games on the app store. Please port Evoland 2 upon its release!

Needs more save points! It can get very VERY hard. And i think that more save points will help, other then that its great! :)

The idea of this game is great. It's interesting to watch the game develop itself and become more appealing to the eyes and ears as you progress. I'd like to finish the game, but I've encountered a bug. After I gotten the 3D graphics, I try to go to my teammate's town. Once I go into the overworld view, there's a chest that's blocking the path. When I try to open it, my game crashes. Could this be fixed plz?

Great game definitely recommend it to IOS 7.0 users but it crashes way too much on any version below. I'm using IOS 6.0 and I want my money back since it's impossible to progress.

I absolutely loved this game so far, I love the concept of the evolution of gaming and I love the gameplay. Although there has been certain interactions that made my ipod 4th gen crash the app. Right now im at the point where a manual restart wont work. So to progress I need to play double twins, but it crashes upon loading it. All in all great game! But i would like more support for older devices.

Awesome game, but 1 problem! It crashes every time I try to open the chest that makes the map graphics better. It worked once, but It always crashes! Please fix!

Good game awesome concept this could be a huge game! I like it a lot but way to short needs more more more! Not worth the cash its to short

Was having a decent time until I got to the first boss in the mines. The boss itself is hard enough (first time around I didn't even see a way to hurt it, and second time I found out how just by accident - there needs to be more of a clue on how to hit it!), but the fact that the last save point is WAY back in the mines, forcing you, if you die vs the boss, to navigate past a slew of fire traps just to get back to the boss (and then the jars of health are all gone as well even if you didn't use them all the first time) is RIDICULOUS. Screw that crap. I'm done.

The game is extremely clever and witty for the first few hours, particularly as it moves from Gameboy to N64 graphics and riffs on Zelda and Diablo. With that said, once it settles into spoofing FFVII (the entire back half of the game), it really loses all creativity and becomes very generic. For how clever and fun the first 3 hours were, the back 3 hours are a complete chore, and it stops parodying/celebrating RPG tropes and instead just uses them as its main storytelling devices. Fun for a bit, but you might want to just stop playing once you feel the novelty wear off.

I was impressed with this game’s creativity at first, but was dismayed by how far apart save points are from each other. It’s an iOS game, not a console game, so consider your audience when adding save functions. Maybe the player picks up a auto/quick save treasure chest mid-game? My final time playing was when I got stuck with those weird wind tunnel booby traps in one of the dungeons. I kept dying and the nearest save point was too far to keep retrying.

First I’ll start off by safe ALL mobile apps have a crappy interface for moving characters around on a touch screen. That said, the game was quite enjoyable— very enjoyable because it kept me in anticipation wondering “when am I going to learn a new skill? Who is going to join my party? When do I get to ride their version of a Chocobo?” But it disappointed when none of that happened. It is EXTREMELY short and I don’t think there was really a point to grinding and leveling up, especially since it doesn’t seem to matter with the fights where you control your character with the thumb stick. Let’s see how EVOLAND 2 is. I did enjoy this game, but it’s short short short.

This game was a huge let down. While seeing the transition from the older style RPG of the 80’s and 90’s transform into the more fluid graphics of today was fun, the gameplay/story was horrificly short and weak. I reached the end after a day and a half of playing the game. I couldn’t believe it when the game credits started rolling. I kept expecting some last second switch from the developer and more of the game to unfold. What a waste of time and money. Skip this game entirely.

I had a great time with this game, but it felt too much like an experiment of concept rather than a full game. The story was so rushed it gotto the point where I only met 2 people and I couldn’t even remember their names. This game definitely is worth no more than $0.99, but it is a great concept and I look forward to playing the sequel.

The game was fine until I got to the mine part. The skeletons are complicated to kill and when I got to the boss fight and I died, I didn’t respawn in front of the boss door but at the save spot far far far far away from the boss room. Also the boss is difficult to get away from.

It could be good but how are you supposed to know where to go? You can’t have hints or anything. other then that it is okay but it’s sort of hard to know all the buttons and I can’t even figure out how to get into the over world. Maybe if you update it you could tell all the buttons or have a help menu or something.

I’m late to the game with this on mobile. You would think that a game today would have controller support. On one hand, it looks to be a pretty old game (all things considered), on the other hand, an update could have been added.

Good game, would be better if the virtual stick was moveable. Can’t use it on the right side of the screen, as a result I either have to my left hand or cover the screen with the dominant right hand. A suggestion that would help is controller support.

I thought this game was excellent but I had for a couple years now I almost beat the game but I died once and continue and new game are so close together and I accsedently Clicked new game and it restarts without warning. I also thought it was copying Diablo And Zelda. I also relised it had cussed to. I rate the game two stars

It’s a minor frustration when fighting normal monsters, but incredibly frustrating on some boss fights when you know when to move and when to strike but you turn the wrong way or fail to swing your weapon because this game is not good with touch controls.

The game is charming enough at first but don’t let it fool you. It’s an absolute mess. This game seeks to emulate a couple of nostalgic gameplay styles and in doing so it ensured that both were so shallow that they fail to capture any of their inspirations magic. As you go through the game prepare yourself to groan, “Oh so we are doing that now?” As most of the story and unlockables are more reference then they are a homage. I really tried hard to like this game, but I’m assuming they hid all the enjoyable content and story behind an invisible passage in a dungeon I’d have to backtrack through one too many times to bother.

Although it takes a trip to the memory lane, the game itself was not too fun. Comparing it to retro city rampage was more fun and funny. You can’t just make an old game - you gotta add new twist to it. Anyways expecting more on Evoland 2. I bought it and will try it.

While the game starts off with some promise, it is like the developers got tired and gave up on building the storyline. After a couple hours of playing, and seeing the credits, all I could say was really? I paid a dollar for this? So disappointed

Hit detection in a trap sucks

Get controller support for 5stars

Sadly, the gameplay is boring and the controls are slow and awkward.

And in 2 min I found that if you don’t pick up the chest that makes the camera follow you makes the game very glitchy and the camera ends up way out of the map and takes a wile to get to the character. Also I read an invisible sign...

It’s tiring to plod through enemy after enemy that are lifted from other games almost wholesale without any subtlety. I don’t think there’s a single character, enemy, location, item, or *anything* that isn’t so heavily borrowed from something else I wonder why they bothered to change the names at all. It’s frustrating especially when none of the references are any deeper than “HEY REMEMBER THIS GAME”, with very little of it feeling natural. The game mechanics suffer from this shallow nature as well, making the game a chore where you mash the same buttons over and over until the enemies die. All stats are hidden to you, making level-ups feel intangible, and there isn’t even an MP system. It’s about as basic as you can get without just including an auto-battle button. The adventure sections are slightly more fun, if only because it can actually be challenging to poke at skeletons and mages, but they also rely on too many mazes, hiding secrets behind “how-was-I-supposed-to-know-that” hidden walls, and puzzles that were much more fleshed-out in Oracle of Ages. It’s definitely not the worst game I’ve played, and I do think the graphics and music have their merits, but the bottom line is that there’s a wealth of better RPGs out there, all of them doing something that’s leagues ahead of this game. Still, I bought this game for a dollar, and it was a decently mindless time-waster for a few hours. You could do worse for a dollar, but maybe you’d be better off spending that money on a chocolate bar or something.

Great game but no gamepad mfi support.

Starts out fun but quickly becomes VERY frustrating. Not worth the $3 bucks.

Poorly developed game. Bunch of amateurs must have made it in their moms basement.

Not much to it, plays off an interesting evolution aspect, but the novelty quickly wears off and you're stuck in a below average rpg.

Good game, well made. Evolution concept got boring real quick. And the game is just too short. Entire game felt like a sidequest for a bigger game.

I love this game but just a crap because bug all time when you want to save

I was so sad when it ended. I honestly thought this couldn't be the end. I was having so much fun but it only last a couple hours.

Way too boring... where's side quest? why is main story so damn boring ugh

Crash every time i enter in the save point at the start :( iphone 5c

This game would be a lot of fun if it didn't have so many problems. The biggest of all being the touch pad movement control hardly works properly. Send out a patch for the bugs and it will get a better rating from me.

This is one of those games that has a grata concept and a half decent execution. I really liked the evolution aspects and the graphics. I didn't like how rushed the game felt, the slippery controls that kill you and the weak hit detection (does my arrow need to strike a certain part?) what killed the game for me was when I fought a boss that had glowing hands. Your objective was to circle him and attack his hands as he tried to trap you. I would line up perfectly to hit Jim only to have my character turn tawau from the hand after my first strike. What the hell guys?
