Earnest Evans

Developer: Wolf Team

Earnest Evans is a pulpy, whip-swinging side-scroller that sends a treasure-hunting adventurer through traps, crumbling ruins, and over-the-top boss set pieces. The game blends platforming and action with long, animated sprite attacks and stiff, timing-heavy controls that reward patience and memorization. Levels demand precise jumps, pattern recognition and aggressive melee against hordes of enemies, creating a mix of frustration and nostalgic satisfaction. Fans of challenging retro action will appreciate its cinematic presentation and distinctive character animation, even as its awkward mechanics make each victory feel hard-earned and memorable.
