E.V.O. : Search for Eden

E.V.O. : Search for Eden (1992)

Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Platform, Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Historical, Science fiction, Survival
Game modes:Single player
Story:The storyline of E.V.O.: Search for Eden follows the same patterns as modern Evolution theories. The players first controls a prehistoric sea organism, and fights to gain evolution points with which he can improve his fish's body parts and upgrade his attack/defense abilities. The gameplay is not completely linear, which means that certain choices of paths and stages will affect the player's success. The game is composed of a series of stages, in which the sea organism slowly evolves into an amphibian, and later a land-only creature. The physical changes are fairly scientifically accurate which gives the game a semi-educational purpose as well.Show more

I like to describe it as Darwinist propaganda because its a funny thing to say and honestly its an awesome premise. It is your job to evolve through the various ages of life on earth. Become the strongest fish! Then, walk onto land and become the strongest Amphibian! Then become a Dinosaur and be forced to survive as a mammal during the ice age. Can you discover the key to evolve into a primate and use tools? Such an excellent game!

Ephemeral Fantasia
Ephemeral FantasiaIn this game, the player controls Mouse, a silent musician who travels with his talking guitar Pattimo. One day Mouse is invited to play at a royal wedding on an island called Pandule. But soon he discovers that the groom Xelpherpolis has put an awful time-looping spell on the island, and intends to destroy this way the entire population. Mouse has to stop the villain and, most importantly, recruit other people to help him break the spell. Ephemeral Fantasia is a Japanese-style role-playing game with turn-based combat. Several characters can be recruited to the party. The game's stand-out feature is the time-looping system, which is somewhat similar to the one implemented in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The game has an internal clock, and the first five days repeat themselves until Mouse finds a way to stop it. Certain events occur only if Mouse travels to a specific location at a specific time.
