Reception

Template:Video game reviews

The Dreamcast version received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[2] Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen called it "an experience to be savored and enjoyed."[3] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40.[4]

Four-Eyed Dragon of GamePro said in one review, "Fans of Evolution won't be disappointed with this vivid world that's full of familiar faces and tactics. Yet, as in the first Evolution, the gameplay is geared for younger adventurers – hardcore role-players will want to hold out for a deeper story and greater challenge."[5]Template:Efn In another review, E. Coli said that the game "establishes the series as being aimed at younger players who may find the complexities of the average RPG too challenging. It is definitely aimed at the short attention span crowd. Dreamcast owners are still waiting for someone to deliver a quality RPG, but fear not, several promising titles are slated for release in the next few months and one of them is bound to be a winner."[6]Template:Efn
