It's kind of sad how this game turned out considering how cool the idea is.

My problem with E.V.O is that the majority of the gameplay consists of grinding, only a handful of levels are interesting in any capacity gameplay wise, and all of those said levels are mazes... so not the most exciting. The existence of most levels is meant to let you grind more, but the ONLY payoff for grinding is either faster/easier grinding or a boss fight.

This might've been fine if the bosses themselves were good but they just weren't. At least when going through the game as a bird, most of the fights just felt like "how do you cheese the hitstun" and not much else. This persists with the combat in general but I guess I could understand it for normal enemies to not make grinding unbearable, but when the focus of your gameplay is bosses those bosses better be damn good or else your game just turns very bland.

I liked the concept, the potential replayability is there but I just do not see myself going through this one again. I probably wouldn't have finished it if I didn't have a friend urging me to.
