Released in 1995 by Square Soft for the SNES, Secret of Evermore is a distinctive action RPG built around real-time combat and exploration. You play as a boy from the modern world who, along with his shape-shifting dog, is transported to the fantasy realm of Evermore. Using a Ring Command menu system similar to Secret of Mana, players navigate different historical eras, battling enemies and solving puzzles.
How to play
The primary objective is to find your way back home by exploring four distinct regions of Evermore and uncovering the truth behind your arrival. Combat is real-time, and instead of traditional magic, the game features a unique Alchemy system where you combine hidden ingredients to cast spells. The controls are mapped as follows: move with the arrow keys (ââââ), use Z to attack, and X to open the Ring Command menu or dash. The A and S keys act as the X and Y buttons on the original gamepad, while Q and E serve as the L and R shoulder buttons. Press Shift for Select and Enter for Start.
Tips
- Your dog changes shape depending on the region of Evermore you are in, and is essential for sniffing out alchemy ingredients hidden in the environment.
- Level up your weapons by using them frequently; higher weapon levels unlock powerful charged attacks.
- Alchemy ingredients can be bought, but exploring thoroughly to find them for free is crucial for maintaining your spellcasting abilities without draining your funds.
