Evolution 2: Far Off Promise

Less than a year after the events of Evolution: The World of Sacred Device, Mag Launcher has become known as the number one explorer of Pannam Town and is invited by the Society to visit Museville via the newly built railroad and there undertake the recovery of a series of especially valuable artifacts for the Society's president, Professor Whitehead. Mag accepts, and is accompanied to Museville by his fellow adventurer and constant companion, Linear Cannon, and the Launcher family butler, Gre Nade.

While the adventurers complete Whitehead's assignments, Linear is periodically visited by a mysterious boy named Yurka. He reveals to Linear that he is an artificial life form like her, and shows her how their powers compliment each other: When he kills a wilting flower with his power, Linear's power sprouts up four new flowers from its remains, when previously she could only restore dying organisms. Linear tells Mag about Yurka, but he innocently assumes that they are just friends.

The Dreamcast version received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen called it "an experience to be savored and enjoyed." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40.

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." 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.
