It is here when the developer Nicolas Cannasse takes center stage that in less than 32 hours he was able to make and end the game, winning the competition for multiple aspects, worth mentioning that more than 1400 participants competed, this game was called Evoland.

Nicolas took reference to his favorite RPG games like Final Fantasy, Diablo and The Legend of Zelda, this makes it easy to see the game quite familiar and comfortable when playing it, and many of the names of the protagonists are from these games, but a little modified as a kind of reference.

The review received a gratifying way to Evoland, despite being a video game created in 30 hours was quite complete, in addition the players who tried it were simply delighted, it is for this reason that Nicolas decided to add a little more content in the video game, to extend its history a little more.

The game can be completed in 2 to 4 hours (it will depend on your actions) in its second version, the latter is the one that will be taken into account for this review, in addition the PC version will be chosen, however, it is also available for Android from the Play Store.

This is one of the most interesting sections that can exist in Evoland, because we can see different graphic aspects from the beginning to the end, starting at 8 Bit, then at 16, 32 and 64 bits in a fluid way with Regarding the history of the video game.

In addition, you can gradually see how the graphical aspect evolves, for example, the textures of the trees are changing in such a way that they are seen in HD, this is simply fabulous for those who wish to see how this has changed when passing the years.

The design of the characters and enemies from 8 to 64 bits is very pleasing to the eye, personally I like the design of 16 bits more, but it is simply a matter of taste, each of them have their movements quite defined, making the game is really attractive.

If you liked the many interesting graphic aspects, the gameplay may be even more enjoyable, we started with a very basic concept, as if we were playing with the first Game Boy, as we move forward our movements become more fluid allowing us to experience various changes in the control of the character.

One of my favorite parts is when we play as an Action RPG type Devil, where multiple enemies come out, and we must destroy them together making different movements generating combos of annihilation, it really seemed very addictive.

We may sometimes find that Evoland is a little short or that it lacks a variety of enemies, but keep in mind its development only took 30 hours, this makes it without a doubt in a shocking video game for everything it has in its programming.

Some of your songs may sound a bit familiar, although they are very original there is no doubt that they took inspiration from some melodies of the games that I mentioned earlier, they make every moment very pleasant and entertaining, personally Many times I kept in mind some of his melodies.

On the other hand, their sounds are simple but essential for the progress of the game, these as well as the musical section are also evolving, reaching the time when the CD-ROM invaded the consoles and their sounds were excellent.
