Charming world, Diverse gameplay styles, Hours of gameplay
Monotonous combat, A bit slow to get going
Ever Oasis is a tricky game to describe succinctly. Combining multiple different game styles into one is no easy task and, for the most part, Ever Oasis does an admirable job of at least coming close to achieving its lofty ambition. There's so much to do...
