What kind of game is a good game? Everyone has a different answer to this question. It isn’t easy for me to come up with a definite standard because I am an omnivore. If I have to say, any good game, such as gameplay, plot, graphics, growth elements, and control feel, is a good game. But the “good” is time-sensitive in my view. Even if a game is fascinating at the moment, if it remains unchanged for a long time, when a new “era” comes, it can no longer be called “good”. As Benjamin Gifford, vice president of Top Games Inc., said, a great game needs to provide players with an ever-evolving world. He said that Evony is maintaining the freshness and appeal of the game by giving priority to providing updated ideas. This strategy drives Evony’s “good” to evolve with the development of the times.

“The ever-evolving content, dynamic environments, and varied challenges are key to sustaining my player interest. At TGI, we’re striving to imbue our games like Evony with these qualities, ensuring a vibrant, ever-changing world that encourages continuous engagement and interaction among players.” Benjamin Gifford shares.

Evony’s Battlefield Evolution

Since I started playing this game, the most impressive part is Evony’s battlefield. Regardless of my own preferences, they dig deep into the PVP mechanism. This is also the key factor in my evaluation of Evony as a good game.

According to old players, they only had the Battle of Gaugamela (BOG) battlefield at first. Later, to enrich the game content and enhance the player experience, the Battle of Constantinople (BOC), All-Star, and Battle of Chalons came online.

Evony’s Good Game Features on Battlefields

With the advancement of technology, real-time strategy games can accommodate more people online. Meanwhile, players have higher requirements for battlefield diversity. In the past two years, Evony’s Alliance Duel and Clash of Civilizations came into being.

Unlike the previous four battlefields, Alliance Duel is not fought in a separate copy. It is a battlefield similar to arranging troops on a sand table. Different alliances fight each other by arranging lineups on three lines.

Clash of Civilizations is more complicated. It is not only the largest battlefield but also the battlefield with the most complex gameplay. When 8 servers are fighting together, you need to pay attention to the movements of players from the other 7 servers at the same time. Also, you also need to pay attention to the reasonable distribution of buffs and the skillful use of unit restraint.

Ever-changing Activities in Evony

Except for fixed festivals, Evony also has some different festivals every year.

Fixed festivals: Christmas, Spring Festival, Easter, Mother’s Day, Children’s Day, Midsummer Festival, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc.
Special festivals: Water Festival in 2021, The Tale of Princess Kaguya Event in 2022, St. Martin’s Day in 2023, and the Maple Syrup Festival this year, etc.

During festival events, new generals and skins, ideal land ornaments, castle skins, avatar frames, holiday decorations, march effects, etc. are often released. There will be general skins, champions and skins, scenes, monarch images, or spiritual beasts sometimes.

Before and after festival events, there will sometimes be version updates, new features, or gameplay. During the events, they will open the Limited Recruit Event, Historic City Event, or Cultural Subordinate City Event. Moreover, routine events will be online between every two festival events to help players develop their cities.

Besides, to further enrich the content of the event, Evony has also co-branded with many IPs and created many collaboration events. From Kong: Skull Island I and Godzilla to Napoleon Movie, their cooperation style is ever-changing. It can be seen that Evony is working hard to become a good game.

The question of what kind of game is a good game is very subjective. But the answer needs to be separated from the player’s own likes and dislikes and the judgment of the game. From the perspective of the times, Evony is a good game because of its ever-evolving content. The reason why a game can survive in the game market is that it must have gained a certain audience. Things are not all black and white, and it is unfair to define a game with subjective “good or bad”.

It is sometimes difficult for game practitioners to experience and evaluate games like real players. This may lead to imperfections in the development of their products. Therefore, it is often necessary to collect reviews from players to analyze what is worth learning from a game. According to SET factor analysis method, game design needs to consider the three dimensions of society, economy, and technology. By collecting players’ reviews of Evony the King’s Return, we found that most of them mainly stand from the perspective of technology. For them, the two dimensions of “aesthetics” and “quality” are the best display of technology. In this regard, the main theme of their reviews on Evony is that they can maintain long-term participation.

Evony Reviews: Keep players engaged for a long time

Many players have said in their comments that they have been playing for years and have never been bored. According to their descriptions, many factors keep Evony fresh and keep them engaged for a long time. We have listed the two most voted examples.

Rich game content

Reinette Williams said that there are always new things in this game to keep him engaged.

“Leveling up your Keep, Monarch & Generals, training troops, joining an alliance, and defeating monsters! All very cool & tons of daily awards too!” Matthew shares.

Also, many voices are praising Evony for its great graphics, exquisite character design, easy-to-understand game flow, etc.

Through the experience of Evony, we found that these reviews come from the design style on the one hand, and from the new events on the other hand.

Since Evony is set in the Middle Ages, the design of generals and buildings is also in line with the exquisiteness and prosperity of that era. The emperors and queens of different civilizations and periods have different styles and respect historical facts. Many important figures in history have designed costumes that match their characteristics.

In addition, Evony holds a large-scale festival event almost every two weeks, and there will be some regular small activities to fill in during the period. When the festival event is opened, new generals, general skins, castle skins and decorations, ideal land ornaments, avatar frames, march effects, etc. may be released. There will be major version updates, function optimizations, new function launches, etc. every once in a while. These can all allow the game to constantly have new playable content.

Interesting core mechanics

According to David Johnson’s reviews, there is a lot to learn in PVE, server-internal, and cross-server PVP wars, because there is always something happening.

Moreover, Steven Smith commented: “Fun and forever learning, there really is a lot to this game.”

This depends on Evony’s combat mechanism. In there, players can not only attack monsters but also other players.

There are many different levels and types of monsters in Evony. Defeat them, players will receive different rewards. Besides, different events update different monsters. It requires players to check at any time that defeat which monsters can get the items they want.

As for PVP, of course, the game provides a lot of safety guarantees for this. If you love peace, you can use bubbles (Truce Agreement) or participate in the battlefields. Evony provides many different battlefield copies. And the system will restore your casualties incurred on the battlefield after the copy ends. If you want to experience the feeling of conquest in the game, you can take part in SVS. During SVS, you can not only attack enemy players and defend your own server buildings but also occupy the buildings and even the royal city of the enemy server.

Furthermore, PVP has many tactics and strategies, and they are variable. You can experience the depth of their design as you get deeper into it. It involves teamwork, individual reaction speed, team tactical planning, and so on. This is where you can keep learning, as mentioned in the reviews.

The personal satisfaction of mobile games comes from the joy that players get from playing games and the release of life pressure. A game that can keep players fresh for a long time will receive good reviews. From the player’s review of Evony the King’s Return, it can be seen that the Evony team’s maintenance of long-term participation is popular.
