When i first saw a picture of Evoland in Steam Store i was immediatly closing it cause it shows an 8bit green-grey, C64 style. Nothing against C64, i still have one, but i wont see that in 2013.

Then i saw a little review accidently where i saw 3D grahics in it. My interest was awakened.

Evoland is a time-travel between the grapic engines from C64 style to today. But the biggest reference of it is Final Fantasy VII.

As mentioned you start with 8bit graphic and have to learn how to walk left and right, some minutes later you will unlock sounds and shortly thereafter COLOR!!! Well, the time from C64 to your first 3D effect is not very long, your first 3D HD graphics will come after 1 hour already.

The whole game took me only ~4 hours. It was good invested 4 hours for me, for the price we could fight. 10€ (Sep2013) is ok but 5€ would be more fair for that playlength.

The story is kinda funny, not only cause of that much references. 7/10
