There is a lot to love here, genuinely, but I can’t recommend it. The world is interesting visually, the combat is so interesting too! However, the platforming leave a lot to be desired. It’s sluggish slow and a bit unresponsive. The total opposite of the combat which is razor sharp a d laser focused, but even here I have a problem. Too often you’re forced into tough challenging fights and yes the penalty for defeat …

Oh my goodness what an incredible game. I went into worldless thinking it would be just a very stylised metroidvania, but to my surprise it did not play at all like I expected it to. The combat is a spin on dynamic turn based where you get to attack and combo on your turn, and defend and parry during the enemy's, for bosses and more difficult fights the game more or less forces you to learn parry timings and …

This is an amazing game. Period. The art is simple yet beautiful, using only geometric shapes and designs to create stunning characters and beautiful scenery. The movement is responsive and fun, with so many interesting abilities that instantly give players moments of understanding for previous areas. The story is engaging and clear despite there being almost no dialogue, and the environment displays intriguing …

truly shocked at how little buzz i'd seen around this game before starting it. excellent platforming and a wildly fun turn based combat system that takes almost as much from devil may cry as it does stuff like valkyrie profile. cannot say enough good things about the vibes too, unbelievable atmosphere hardest game ive ever played to not feature a failstate

An excellent puzzle platformer to be sure, but the real star of the show is the combat system. I have never seen anything like this before, and I strongly doubt I ever will. Words can't really accurately describe the system, and I have the upmost respect for whoever conceived of it. The best I can say is it is so immensely satisfying to finally absorb an enemy and get that skill point. Worldless is a deeply …

91% of the 183 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Worldless. The complaint that keeps coming up: parry timing is too tight for some players. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

But looking back at indie game releases from the past year, I'm blown away at the grip this genre has on me now Crypt Custodian, Nine Sols, Magical Delicacy, Worldless (end of 2023), and even more yet to play 👀

neutral · AI labelView post →Worldless is so far the most unique metroidvania I’ve played (and it was my 17th one), and I am glad I played it, but at the same time I can see it not working for some people. It worked for me, but there were aspects that I didn’t enjoy as much as I would’ve hoped. On to the full review. 1. Presentation The game is very visually distinct, and you will not mistake it for any other MV in a million years. Avoiding both the traditional pixel artstyle, and the more modern thick outline handdrawn…

I was recommended this game through a funny Youtuber I enjoy promoting it, and he only shared the first crack of the game to give me a taste of what to enjoy, leaving the rest of the game a surprise, so I'm going to do the same and try to hide as many story specific details as I can while promoting it for those who are curious! 1) The Combat Combat is turn based mixed with reaction…

I was excited about @noname-studios.es 's Worldless since I first saw it, so I went for 100%, taking 3 days of attempts to beat the secret boss.

neutral · AI labelView post →What a cool game! I got this in a Humble Bundle that I chose to buy primarily due to the visuals on this game. It's a fun platformer that rewards exploration around its non-linear maps. The look and the sound design are incredible, adding to the mysterious atmosphere. Despite the story being told mostly abstractly (almost no dialogue) it's clear and compelling. The game is short, which I consider a plus. My main criticism is that I wish that the game had just a tad more explanation of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best feeling Metroidvanias available on the market, in my opinion. I ended up playing it way after release with a discount, but even at full-price I think it's very worth it. I will say to take some things with a bit of salt as I've seen people's reviews calling the game hard, but I didn't struggle all that much. Might've just clicked with this game uber hard. Comparatively it's rather short for what one would expect from a Metroidvania (it took me 15 hours to 100% the game), but I…

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun game. I wasn't sure I'd like the combination of turn based combat and plaforming, but the combat is sort of a fun puzzle/test of reaction time. The fact you can redo any battle instantly at no penalty makes hard bosses a nice challenge, not a chore. The platforming is really fun, and the game doesn't really hold your hand. It let's you explore freely, and discover things on your own. At some points I wished there was some return to hub action, but the world is small enough hubs aren't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good story, good fighting mechanics. Also makes me seem actually competent about fighting. Overall great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Earlier this evening I tried the demo of "Worldless" on Steam, and.... damn, I'm quite impressed 👀 It's very vague and abstract, but it's an atmospheric 2D Metroidvania with a sort of realtime turn-based combat. Really interesting scenery and amazing VFX too Definitely check this out!
positive · AI labelView post →One of the best metroidvanias I played in a while. very fun traversal and movement mechanics with one the most satisfying combat loops. It has very similar combat to Indivisible but with way more emphasis on timing. Combat is unique since you fight enemies 1 on 1 in an attack and defense phase. During the attack phase you string combos similar to a fighting game and during the defense phase you need to parry, dodge, and counter the enemy attacks.The game is deeper than my simple explication…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →saw a partial speedrun of Worldless, a game I'd never even heard of before, and it is *gorgeous* it's also got turn-based action combat, like if we iterated on Legend of Dragoon more but for both your turn *and* the enemy's turn demo is very fun; clearly I need this game
positive · AI labelView post →A beautiful yet difficult game, worth buying but here's a heads up for those who want to play an keyboard: there's a three button combo that you can unlock later into the game that goes: Hold C (change) Hold V (assist) and press R (Technique). This is impossible to do on most keyboards die to hardware limitations stopping the R input from getting through, so when you first boot up the game, please change one of these binds and test it on a rollover tester to ensure that it will go through…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I seem to have beaten this game much faster than the average person on Steam, though admittedly I did need to look up the solution to one particular puzzle (the northern monument), which I still don't understand the rationale of even knowing the answer. That aside, I don't think Worldless was very good. It's pretty, I guess, but that's about it. There's very little story to the game even accounting for much of it being told without dialogue; the bulk of the game is just running around the…

neutral · AI labelView post →So nobody asked but I just finished playing #Worldless which is a neat little... metroidvania? It's more like a platformer with turn-based combat tossed in, and it has optional secret challenges. It's hard, but learnable with patience. Beat it in ~12 hours, would recommend!

As for the combat it is very beautiful and well done you will definitely be repeating the bus many many times as it does require very precise timing for the parry but it is a unique way to make turn Best combat fun and enjoyable for me And that comes from someone who…

Really efficient and engaging gameplay design to match the visual/thematic stylings of the experience. My only significant (spoiler free) complaint on that front is that you gain powers and skills so quickly there isn't really dedicated time to learn new abilities. There are enemies that require specific things from you, but a number of times, I just forgot to upgrade after a few fights in a row and then I gain 5 abilities at…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a very patient person, but my patience isn't limitless. I gave this game 22 hours, beat it halfway through, and I can't. It's one of the hardest MV games I've ever played. Combat is based on a parry system, and parrying in this game is 7 frames (Sekiro has 12 frames), so parrying is extremely difficult, almost impossible to pull off and most fights require it. I've had enough; games are supposed to be fun, not tiring, and Worldless has worn me down so much that I'm uninstalling it and never…
