Brought up in the magic of a now vanishing gaming genre, we began a journey to the future without forgetting our roots. RetroVerso Games is a small independent game development team born with a great goal in mind: forge the seemingly impossible. For those who don't know Evhacon is a series of mobile video games created by merely 2 individuals (Pietro Nifosi and Nunzio Bonsignore) with ZERO funds: Evhacon - War Stories, the first game of the series is a story driven action-RPG. The character of the player is thrust into a situation where he needs to help retrieve an artifact that will banish an evil presence from the world. Evhacon II - Heart of the Aecherian, evolved into a more combat oriented RPG of the hack and slash variety. The story picks up after the death of a king and a knight and in pursuit of the assassins who stole the artifact. The Storyline Thirty-seven years before the events of the story, a hermit discovered a matching set of ancient, carved-stone, artifacts said to be instruments of great knowledge and wisdom, which outlined a clear map for the betterment of oneself and society. The twin artifacts were presented to two brother Kings, Leonar, King of Rhontir and Ruler of Adamah, and the older, Rhildwin, King of Aecheria and Ruler of Antadamah. The artifacts were exactly the same, except that the one given to King Rhildwin was found to be damaged. One small piece was never recovered. Leonar, the much younger of the two brother Kings misinterpreted the meaning of the artifacts and proclaimed himself king of both Adamah and Antadamah taking over the entire world and hoping to wield the power of both artifacts. However the Aecherians had hidden the second artifact after King Rhilwin’s death and Leonor was denied his prize. Meanwhile, when the artifacts were discovered after many centuries lost, Isuel the Goddess Snake Queen of the Tahlani’s, foresaw a new age where mankind would have no need to worship gods and demigods, becoming Evhacon, the Avatars of Light. Thus she commanded the Tahlani to find the missing piece to prevent this from happening. When Leonar heard of her intentions, he gathered all his loyal armies at the base of Mount Komdur, where the artifacts were uncovered, and easily smothered the Snake queens army with superior numbers and put her evil reign to an end. Leonar’s thirst for power was still not sated, and he sent a congregation of priests called Alphatheists to search the mountain peaks for the missing piece of the artifact. Leonar also tried to claim the City of Stone, home of the Khaynarani who had been loyal to him in the fight against Isuel. But they rebelled and served the Rhontirians a crushing defeat in the valley of Sin-Gandir. What you see if what you get!!

It looks really good. mrmatis08 Member Mar 29, 2012 15 0 0 #4 mrmatis08, Dec 18, 2016 "really good" enough for you to TOFT, perhaps? ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #5 ojtitus, Dec 18, 2016 Is this a joke? This is a FREE demo, why would you need someone to TOFTT? Download it and see if you enjoy it, then if you do like it, purchase the full version. KeKhan Well-Known Member May 28, 2012 1,380 43 48 #6 KeKhan, Dec 18, 2016 This looks awesome, def. gonna give it a try. Reminds me of the PC game Ryse, which I loved MintCity Well-Known Member Jun 24, 2016 200 1 18 #7 MintCity, Dec 18, 2016 The camera is atrocious in this game unless I'm missing a setting (I checked for one) that allows you to manually control it. I feel as though they focused too much on making it look graphically impressive instead of refining the gameplay. It has stylish moves and feels impactful but the combat is too simple. Don't let my opinion stop you from trying the free version. Try it out for yourself. But those are my impressions Tinsel Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2008 508 5 18 #8 Tinsel, Dec 18, 2016 The demo has ad banners, lower framerate, and updates? This doesn't seem like a good idea. I want to know how it will run on my device before I buy it, and not be hampered by an artificially lowered framerate. I'm fine with the ad banners, and even just give us a small snippet of the game in the demo, but I really think you should change the demo and remove the lowered framerates (and let the demo get updates too yeesh). mrmatis08 Member Mar 29, 2012 15 0 0 #9 mrmatis08, Dec 18, 2016 So, my "TOFT" remark was not posted under the FREE version (when I originally wrote it), it was for the paid version and THIS version had yet to be made available. And it was not a joke. I noticed the frame rate stuttering on their YouTube videos and the not-much-changes-in-the-backdrop gameplay (however brief)......rolleyes ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #10 ojtitus, Dec 18, 2016 Ah, well that makes sense. Sorry, I didn't understand where you were coming from. cybrdmn New Member Apr 24, 2011 2 0 0 #11 cybrdmn, Dec 19, 2016 Last edited: Dec 19, 2016 Newbie here, came across this while browsing TA. I tried the demo, there isn't ads on it, it seems the dev copied and pasted that line from the previous episode. The demo is the first encounter or level. I played the first game and really enjoyed the story, this one seems to be much more action oriented. Like Ryse, as someone else mentioned. mandrilo Well-Known Member Nov 30, 2012 62 0 6 #12 mandrilo, Dec 19, 2016 Oh, my God....the game is good, love the graphics, love the combat....but please, dev....Fix the camera!!!! Its very difficult to paly an ARPG without a second virtual pad for camera moving....or at least make it follow the main character in a more precise way. It would be a shame that you dont fix this soon...because with this only detail fixed the game is a gem dasker New Member Oct 2, 2012 2 0 0 #13 dasker, Dec 19, 2016 is too short? Do you have support for mfi gamepad? gmattergames Well-Known Member Mar 1, 2013 606 38 28 #14 gmattergames, Dec 19, 2016 Dev: If your going to do 3rd person and not give the player camera control, then make the camera intuitive. If you can't, then don't make a 3rd person game. Also, if you are going to lock player controls during cutscenes/dialogue, then root the player while cutscene is inprogress. Crossbow: why is this played in 3rd person, there's a reticle like you might find looking down the stock of the bow, yet the camera is still well behind player and the enemies are mere pixels in the distance; at least zoom the camera 2x in this mode. Combat should be the heart of this game, yet it is uninspired, just hold the attack button to chain combos to finishing move. Perhaps it becomes more interesting, but the the lack of polish and design oversights led to swift deletion; make me wonder if anyone playtested this. Perhaps that is the purpose of the demo. Gambler Well-Known Member Mar 10, 2014 546 110 43 Gazorpazorp #15 Gambler, Dec 19, 2016 No mfi and like others before me said, the touch controls are pretty flawed atm (no right virtual stick for camera movement - Camera supposed to follow you automatically which doesn't work all too well). No idea about length, only played the demo. vonknut Well-Known Member Dec 5, 2013 220 3 18 #16 vonknut, Dec 19, 2016 Dam shame with the negative things, the screenshot with you walking in the shieldwall, really sold it to me, so i wanted to believe Gambler Well-Known Member Mar 10, 2014 546 110 43 Gazorpazorp #17 Gambler, Dec 19, 2016 I agree. The screenshots looked amazing plus no f2p shenanigans. Also, not a lot of good premium games have been released since ~ Thanksgiving time, so a nice Action-Adventure would have been cool. Pity. But maybe the devs can fix the controls (no idea how hard that would be - Alas, the current controls/camera are an absolute deal breaker though, so I hope they can do something about it) Artfoundry Well-Known Member May 11, 2009 2,519 2 38 COO and Creative Director at LCD Dreams, Inc. Bay area, CA #18 Artfoundry, Dec 20, 2016 I hate it when devs spend more time on graphics than gameplay. This game is just awful. Long load times with no feedback, terrible camera, boring combat, target switching that doesn't work well at all, little instruction (though not that you need it at first given the simplicity of the game). The last one doesn't matter much until I reached the crossbow. I didn't even know I was supposed to do anything with it until I saw someone's comment here. Then when playing it again (since the game didn't save the first time), I saw the little goal instruction at the top right. But I still can't figure out what to do?! Can't pick it up or engage with it in any way. Ugh, what a mess. chuckfinley Active Member Nov 28, 2013 38 0 0 Mojito bar #19 chuckfinley, Dec 22, 2016 Thank you for sharing your take with the TA crowd. Now I know not to bother... Jakeopp Well-Known Member Sep 20, 2012 200 1 0 #20 Jakeopp, Dec 22, 2016 The camera and framerate (my device is a potato) ruined this for me, will be upgrading my ipad here soon hopefully...will give this another shot if they fix the camera (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
