The shapeshifting mechanics, combined with a lovely colorful art style and interesting and entertaining characters, keep this to a minimum though. Underneath that incredibly fun mechanic, Nobody Saves the World is a fairly standard dungeon crawler – the kind where dungeons are filled with dozens or even hundreds of enemies, and the kind that can get repetitive after a while. You’ll realize this is more than a gimmick when enemies start becoming immune to certain attacks as well, so experimenting is definitely a way to keep pushing forward as well. Over time, you can even take abilities from one form and use them with another, which (with over a dozen forms to choose from) makes for a large number of interesting variations and play styles. This isn’t just a journey within the animal kingdom though, as more traditional RPG-like forms like a knight and dragon also appear, and you can even transform into a robot for a touch of sci-fi. Transforming into a snail offers a very different experience, emphasizing defense capabilities like a slime trail that slows enemies down. For example, your first form is a rat, which lets you poison enemies and steal their health. Nobody Saves the World looks like a fairly standard game at first, but once you start playing around with the different body form things quickly becomes interesting. We’ve seen plenty of top-down dungeon crawlers before, but this wouldn’t be a Drinkbox title if things didn’t quickly take an original turn. You’re no stranger to magic yourself either though, as you have a magic wand that lets you change forms, each one giving you different abilities to help you fight a dark presence that’s gradually taking over the land. The titular Nobody is the protagonist of this colorful top-down dungeon crawler, in which you set out to save a magician named Nostramagus. From their excellent Tales of Space titles to Severed and the cult classic Guacamelee! games, all their games have been well-received so anticipation was high for Nobody Saves the World.

It’s interesting to realize that Drinkbox has only been around for about a decade, but during that time they’ve never failed to deliver.
