Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We keep getting a script error while playing, just closing the game and opening it again. Fixes it for a second. Still fun.
Honestly, Ive played App Store games all our life, but hands down, this is the most enjoyable, fun, and quirky game Ive 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 we would have enjoyed more turn based combat.
Ive 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 theres a glitch with getting the ice key fragment. Whenever we 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 its a great game with tons of puzzles, itd be great if you were able to fix the glitch.
Im having so much fun playing this game! So many different game styles, Im using a series X controller while playing and it feels so smooth. This is the best mobile game out there.
The game has good puzzles, humor, story, beautiful zones and basically everything to get lost for few hours after a long day. Changing art styles depending on time is very unique and cool.
Im a sucker for every bit of nostalgia in this game (from Megaman to Chrono Trigger and Bomberman) but that is just a bonus. The adventure-RPG core of Evoland 2 is beautifully executed. Great soundtrack and sound effects. Whoever designed the Sylph Forest puzzles is a diabolical genius. Some trial and error helps in opening all of the chests there. Thanks for Evoland 2 =).
The game itself is amazing but the Apple TV version is several versions behind iOS so the saves arent cross-platform. Please fix.
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 Ive 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 we have ever played. It is really good. The touch controls are probably the worst we have played, and we mean bad. We dealt with it until we 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.
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 arent 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 youre being gas lit out of no where into helping one. Make it make sense on a narrative level. Bad writing, good mechanics.
Hi guys! Please add Russian language to the game, because there is a lot of text in the game and it is difficult to read it. Thanks for your attention.
Huge props for releasing this for the Apple TV. It could be a great platform for indie games was happy to see this come up as an option.
Can Simplified Chinese language support be added.
We 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. Theres a good sized map with several different areas that you experience across 3 timelines. Theres plenty to do and loads of optional collectables. We just finished right at 18 hours and we only got 85% completed. So it could easily be a 20 hour game. Ultimately, we loved Evoland 2. Its evident the devs poured everything into making it the best game they could possibly make – and we think they pulled it off for the most part. Our few (but important) complaints: 1. The game randomly crashed about 5 or 6 times during our play through (on our iPhone 11). A text box would pop up and Id have to hard reset. 2. Some of the dialogue couldve probably been cut. We read everything at first, but by the end we found ourselves 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 wouldve 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 we just had to guess on a few words. Great game we really hope theres an Evoland 3.
This is one of the best RPGs Ive ever played the gameplay is fun the story is interesting the jokes are funny its just amazing in every way.
Evoland 2 is an amazing and wonderful love letter to video game history. If youre a fan of gaming in general, and like action RPGs like the Zelda series, you cant go wrong playing this game. Highly recommended.
This was a great game to play. It was funny, smart in its implementation of classic game styles, and intriguing in its story. We played with a controlled connected to our phone, which is probably the better way to play this game. However, there were many times we were 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; we'd just restart the game and continue on. However, the most notable instance was during the final boss' third phase. We had to exit out and go through all phases again which was…. Not great. Still, overall, we'd definitely recommend this game.
We were so in love with this game, until the stupid jumping mushrooms plus instant death. Just sunk an hour on this tiny part with zero progress or improvement due to squirrely controls. Im sad. We wanted to play more but this is not worth it.
Dont plan on resuming play between devices. Currently broken.
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). We were 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. Ive 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. We spent the last 40 minutes pixel-hunting for the final 6th item Im 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 youre getting hit a lot because the controls are bad). Maybe it was designed to work with a gamepad, idk. Anyway, we wouldnt recommend it based on what Ive played, especially when the original Evoland exists and is much cheaper and more fun.
Be prepared to be completely stuck. Prophet is impossible. Ive been stuck for weeks. We give up.
Good game-ish. Controls make you want to rip your dang hair out. If you don't hit the atk button in the exact pin point area ur done. Just make the dang atk button bigger or allow it to read your tap in the bottom right corner no matter where you hit. Seems like a legitimate request from a lot of people.
Its a solid game but oh our god are the controls unresponsive and the combat is actual garbage. The invincibility after getting hit doesnt last long enough especially when youre 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, theres a very good chance it will crash and youll lose all your progress thanks to the terrible save system in place. On top of that, doing stuff like the puzzles when youre back in Genova to get the books or whatever, the game constantly freezes while doing these god awful puzzles.
Could be a perfect game but it is far too tedious for a mobile game. Every puzzle and level feels like torture over and over again.
Fun concept, interesting dynamic, and a story of some type. The devs dont seem to know the difference between an RPG and a platformer. This in many areas is more of the latter, to us it ruins the game. Really wanted an RPG here, guys. Not worth the aggravation to finish it.
This game keeps crashing on us and we can barely get through it. We have an iPhone 11 Pro so it shouldnt be a phone issue. Update your game to actually work properly.
We love this game but there's something wrong The cloud save data isn't working we downloaded it again on our apple tv but we had to start a new game.
The devs failed to do a decent job of making this game touchscreen friendly; the PC roots of Evoland are apparent. For some portions this is less of an issue, but for the action oriented platforming sections it is an exercise in frustration. Im glad we got this on sale and will strongly reconsider any ports from these developers before purchasing.
This game is unbelievable. The first one was good, but this game is unbelievable. This is the closest Ive ever felt to playing a full console game on a phone, and the campaign is as long or longer than some adventure games. We cant speak highly enough of it. Its a love letter to older RPGs and its just as nostalgic as it is fun to play.
One issue, some missions are too long its annoying like the flying mission is too long with three boring bosses.
We love this game but the changing allies is hard to figure out.
Im so excited for this 2.0 update. We could not do a couple mini games because of the clunky d pad (not analog stick). They added controller support yesterday and we blew through these challenges. The game, the story, the joke and nostalgia make this game great.
But, the game needs a way to save without needing the auto save.
Ive 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. Its not so bad that its completely unplayable but it is maddening. The only thing that allows you to keep playing without saving every minute is the auto save. We managed to beat it, but havent completed it yet.
We finished to the end, and all we see is a beach with 80%, we can control Kuro but he just clips through the beach. We can also slow down time, but thats it. We cant leave or open our bag.
We really want to love this game but its full of difficult platforming portions that are just too frustrating with the iOS controls. We will push the button for the sword swipe, nothing happens. We cant move our character in any kind of agile way. We cant take a half step. The controls are just rubbish.
We love the look, feel and nostalgia of this game series however, we would highly recommend that you buy this game on either PC or console. The touch screen controls are very hard to use. Once we got to the arcade section in the laboratory level it became impossible, and we gave up. We beat it only after buying it for PS4.
We love this but in the Turing test #2 in the lab, the controls dont work and you cant go further til its solved. So bummed!! We came so far.
Just like other games, the touchscreen joystick controls are terrible and frustrating. Even early game the enemies dance around you as you struggle to turn, approach, and strike. Also the movement speed is SLOW which frustrates this even more.
Dialogue and cut scenes take forever and you cant skip those. We ended up deleting the game 10 minutes in after Ive spent 9 of those just watching a bunch of very slow paced cutscenes. Do yourself a solid and get a game that actually cares about its players time.
Enjoyed the game but controls dont work at all in lab mini game. We therefore cant continue. Disappointed as we would have liked to finish the game.
Most beautiful game ever Its worth it.
If youve read any other reviews, youll know that it is almost unanimously agreed that the controls are terrible. We saw these reviews and decided to try the game anyways. The controls weren't terrible, but they werent good either. They were just a bit clunky, but not unbearable. HOWEVER, 16 hours in (oh yeah, this game is VERY long) we found out you can customize the controls. Not just the standard button placement, but you have control over everything about the controls. You can even customize them for each of the many game modes. If you dont like the controls, it's your own fault because their customizability makes it nearly impossible to not find something you like. So how does the actual game look? Well, the story starts out pretty simple, and somewhat unpolished. It's the fairly standard you and a buddy accidentally got sent back in time, now you need to return home type plot. The developers are French and this shows in the dialogue. There are often excessively literal translations, overuse of some words, and the dialogue just feels stiff and contrived. (think Star Wars prequels) This is where another HOWEVER is in order. The plot has quite a few (and we mean QUITE a few) twists up its sleeve. The story keeps folding in on itself and getting more and more complex as you play through, and it feels like the writers got more and more confident as the story progresses. You start by trying to return home and end up trying to prevent a post-apocalyptic future, as well as several other things we won't say for spoiler's sake. Just know that if you think youre getting close to the end of the game, you're probably wrong. The time travel mechanics are handled very well. In fact, we would say that this game has the best use of time travel of any that we have played. Ever. For the first chunk of the game, time travel is pretty scripted and linear, mostly being used to change up the setting and feel of the game. About halfway through, it opens up and you can change eras whenever allowing you to explore the world fully and completely. All in all, this is an absolute masterpiece with some of the most creative level and environment design (if you don't get the game, look up the anomaly area gameplay) and one of our favorite videogame stories. The bosses are quite a bit harder than the rest of the game, so we suggest that you turn down the difficulty before you start one.
This game was such a creative idea!! Not just the different graphic styles but also the different gaming styles. We 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). We love the puzzle part that was a tribute to Professor Layton! We downloaded this game on Apple TV and played with a controller. We had no problems with the controls. The game also allows you to choose a level of difficulty and we chose medium (Good Old Arcade). And the game is just challenging enough to be fun. Its never too difficult for us to become frustrated. Totally worth the money!! EDIT: Im still playing the game, and we noticed a bug. There was a ours cart missing in the second room after the Plum boss fight in mines in the present time period. We exited the mines and re-entered and the ours cart appeared. But this should not be happening… Im crossing our fingers that this wont happen when Im deep in the mines.
We are replaying this during quarantine – and am liking it so much we had to write a review. Its 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. Ive 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. We hope there are more! We played, and loved, the first evoland and this is an amazing addition to the series. A++++.
Ive really enjoyed this game… But this game needs some serious bug fixing. Ive never had an Apple TV app have so many uncaught exception crashes. Luckily there are frequent save points. Please fix these bugs for a top notch experience.
We played the first one and loved it though it was a bit short. This ones pretty good so far, but the controls are a bit clunky. Especially on the side scrolling stages where you have to jump the different platforms. Otherwise, very fun so far.
Just make the joystick dynamic and the game would be perfect. Also it would be nice to have an option to use the joystick on the arcade games because those are incredibly frustrating to control with the dpad. We imagine it all works great on computer so Id say this is an alright of an amazing game.
We'd give it 5 stars if the game was half as long. Seems like it drags in so many places.
