Like the first Evolution game, Evolution 2 is a dungeon crawler. Unlike the first, Evolution 2 has both random and predetermined dungeon maps.
This game and Evolution: The World of the Sacred Device were remade into Evolution Worlds on the GameCube.
PlotEdit
Continuing from Evolution: The World of Sacred Device, Mag Launcher and company venture towards the continent's center via the newly built railroad. With a new set of ruins to explore, Mag has the opportunity to become the greatest adventurer in the world, but a new presence threatens to destroy his relationship with Linear.
ReceptionEdit
The Dreamcast version received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.<ref name=GR/> Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen called it "an experience to be savored and enjoyed."<ref name=NGen/> In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40.<ref name=Fam/>
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."<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>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."<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>Template:Efn
