Evoland 2 is an action RPG developed and published by Shiro Games.
Unlike traditional RPGs, Evoland 2 evolves continuously throughout the adventure. As players progress through the story, the game shifts between different graphical eras and gameplay genres inspired by classic video game history — from 8-bit and 16-bit RPGs to 3D action adventures, platformers, fighting games, shoot-’em-ups, puzzle games, and tactical combat systems.
The story follows an amnesiac protagonist named Kuro who becomes entangled in a time-travel adventure spanning multiple eras of history. Players explore changing worlds, solve puzzles, battle enemies, collect equipment, and alter events across the past, present, and future in order to prevent the destruction of time itself.
Evoland 2 is widely praised for its nostalgic references, creative genre blending, humor, and love letter approach to gaming history. Community discussions often compare the experience to a mix of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Mario, and classic arcade games all combined into one adventure.
