DD:
The original Evoland set itself up to be something different than the normal average everyday retro throwback experience. In it, players would move through the various eras of gameplay, with levels representing everything from games we would see on the most primitive of platforms, through to the fully nuanced worlds we get on modern hardware. It largely worked, but the sequel is even more ambitious. Moving away from core concept of being a history of video games, this new one has a fully loaded narrative that spans one hundred years, and combines homages to a wider range of gameplay genres than its predecessor, giving players moments of action-adventure, fighting, platforming, shoot ‘em up, RPG and many more.
This 2015 indiegame which originally released on Steam in 2015 has now been ported to iOs & Android.
ThisGenGaming says:"Evoland 2 is a fun experience above all. You’re constantly curious about what will happen next in this timetravelling tale. The many different gameplay mechanics all fit together nicely and do their best at not making the game outstay its welcome. However, the somewhat slow pacing combined with often not knowing where (and when!) to go next makes it feel longer than it actually is. On Mobile devices it also has some pour design choices when it comes to the controls. But when all the pros and cons are weighed, it remains such a brave attempt at creating a fresh experience and it has so many humorous references to other popular media that it still makes for a worthy purchase. I’d recommend getting the PC version if you have the option though, as it provides the better experience.

GameCrate: "Evoland 2 is something of a hybrid between the first Evoland and, well, a bunch of other games not solely of the RPG variety. For the most part, that's a good thing, even if Evoland 2 overstays its welcome."
