Evoland

Sobre

Evoland is a role-playing video game. It is the debut project by French development company Shiro Games. ###Plot and setting The game is centered on the theme of action-adventure video games evolution. It takes place in the world of Evolandia and follows a typical story of a chosen one and his fight against evil forces. The game’s dialogues, items descriptions, and overall style are filled with humor, parody, and references to iconic video game series. ###Gameplay The main feature of the game is unlocking of graphical, sound and gameplay improvements. The game starts as a monochrome top-down adventure with no sound and gradually, as the player progresses through the story, transforms into full-fledged 3D RPG with soundtrack, different settlements throughout the game world, side-quests, NPCs and equipment system. Evoland’s gameplay continually changes. It can be divided into three main parts, each one resembling a certain game series. The first is top-down adventure similar to older The Legend of Zelda titles. Like Zelda, it features different puzzles and dungeons throughout the game. Then the game changes its combat system to turn-based imitating Final Fantasy series with its random encounters and party system. After that, it becomes the top-down hack-n-slash game in the style of Diablo series with the accent on obtaining various loot.
