This teaches the player to switch between forms quickly. The combat is simple to pick up and understand, many enemies can be beaten with standard weapon attacks, but some are protected by an element, meaning you have to hit them with the right element to open up the damage otherwise they are immune.

There are plenty of enemies and different types trying to get you, you have your horde enemies who try to overwhelm you, enemies attacking at range, and also Wizard Cats who send in scratching spells. Nobody Saves The World is very focused on combat, and much like many of the other features in the game, this is satisfying. Although you do find yourself having to move back into combat which can be quite funny. The Horse is particularly entertaining, as he moves fast and his attacks really pack a punch, given it’s a Horse Kick.

It’s not long before you open up more characters including The Body Builder, Egg, Dragon, Mermaid, and the loveable Horse who is susceptible to falling in love. The Guard’s sword attacks are great for dealing with crowds, and the Ranger is great at distance. The rat is small, but his bites sting for sure.

Each character has a different weapon and damage type plus an attacking style. The Guard swings a sword to good effect and the Ranger has a bow and arrow for good range attacks. Once you make it out of the short tutorial zone, then you quickly open up new forms including the Guard and the Ranger. But that comes in time, you start out slow, learn to level up with your rat, and escape your cell. All well as the shape-shifting abilities you also have elemental attacks (light or dark, sharp or blunt), meaning switching back and forward between characters at pace is the way to take on heavily guarded rooms. The rat also has the ability to inflict Dark damage onto opponents, which is another smart feature Drinkbox has implemented. By becoming smaller, you can fit through tight gaps, and therefore reach a new part of the map. It’s not long before you start to progress, and uncover the brilliance of Nobody Saves the World, by transforming yourself into a Rat. Nobody has shape-shifting abilities thanks to a nifty magic wand found in the cell you find yourself in. The previous hero, a mighty mage has gone missing, and you take up the mantle to save the lands. We start out the game as Nobody, this is a stick man style character, thin, removed of any remarkable features, looking like a thin ghost. This game dishes out the dopamine hits at a serious pace, and just when you think it’s time to take a break, you are pulled back in. Whereas Guacemelee was a take on the Metroidvania genre, Nobody Saves The World is much more top-down action RPG, and once again they have demonstrated their understanding of tight controls and very satisfying game mechanics. If you’ve played games from Drinkbox then you’ll be familiar with their animation and humor, and Nobody Saves the World has all that and much more. This is a new game from Drinkbox Studios, creators of the Guacamelee series, and other fantastic games. It’s early in 2022, but this is a game to get excited about with a combination of satisfying combat, a whole host of characters to embody, to take down the corruption and save the world. Nobody Saves The World is a new action RPG, which feels similar to old school top-down Legend of Zelda games from days gone by and the game has layers of satisfying progression.
