The premise, in the publisher's words
Evoland is a game and a story. The story of action adventure gaming as seen in the Zelda or Final Fantasy series, starting with the early age of action RPGs, when a few pixels were enough to make us dream for hours. New players will discover a bit of video game history and a very fun gameplay, and veterans will also enjoy a host of references to legendary titles scattered along the game.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are action, comedy and fantasy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 29 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Evoland holds a critic score of 80 out of 100. That places it above 64% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2013 averaged 70, so it scored 10 points above the year average. Players rate it 74, 6 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 4.8 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 8.2 hrs, roughly 1.7 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 1.7 GHz single-core, 1 GB RAM and Directx 9.0c compatible video card. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
