Evoker begins with our alter ego, Lucan, being summoned by King Coren to escort a Sun Magi initiate, Cassie, to the temple. Lucan is a Sun Kight of Davos, able to cast healing and damaging spells, but he's also a strong warrior, far stronger than the young Cassie. Unfortunately things won't go as planned and a series of events will lead to his defeat and being weakened, just before the beginning of the real adventure. So Lucan will start a new quest, recovering his powers and strength, meeting several helpful companions, fighting monsters and travelling a lot all around the world.
Evoker is a classic jrpg adventure made with Rpgmaker to resemble some classic titles like FFIV and FFVI: there is a large cast of different playable characters, and the graphic style and system is pretty similar, even if it's not a fangame. The graphics are for the most part ripped and edited, mapping is very good also. The bosses are also interesting, like the Chimera, where each head has to be be attacked separately. Nothing really original or new, but everything is well done!
Random Fact: the game lets you save only on the world map or using save points, that aren't always positioned before bossfights. Anyway if you farm some money you can be able to buy Save Scrolls that lets you save anytime.
Final Verdict: the beginning is a bit harsh since you start with few money, two companions, and everyone is a weak pushover, moreover due to the lack of resources it's one of the hardest parts of the demo. After managing the resources and levelling up, the game becomes a little easier. For the rest it's ok even if some character like Lucan, Blind and Una seems quite stronger and more useful than others (Lucan has healing spell, Blind a lethal two-weapon style, Una is a IA-controlled combat monster).
