Evoland sounds like a strange concept that would wear thing quickly, relive old games and “level Up” as games evolve. But that problem isn’t Evoland, the problem is you’re thinking way to hard. At it’s core Evoland is an action adventure game that all of us grew up playing. The more you know about gaming’s past the more you will appreciate it. However the less you know about gaming’s past the more you will learn from it. Check out the trailer to see the game evolve before your very eyes from humble 2D, two color sprite video game into a full blown 3D extravaganza. Evoland is available now and you can pick it up from Steam, GoG.com or directly from Shiro Games Website.
