Nobody Saves the World Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Be inducted into a corrupt League of Wizards, find true love as a horse, bench press baddies as a Bodybuilder, and create an army of undead as a Zombie—Nobody Saves the World is the newest zany hack and slash game by Guacamelee! developer Drinkbox Studios.
Drinkbox studios has a history of churning out classic games, whether that be Tales From Space: About a Blob or Guacamelee!. So when they announced Nobody Saves the World, there was of course lots of excitement around the web. After spending over two weeks with the game, I dive into whether it follows up on the greatness of past titles or if it falters.
A welcome return by Drinkbox Studios, in a title that manages to entertain on various fronts. It's an action RPG definitely worth diving into a dungeon for, with a lot more exploration needed for those looking for every secret.
What happens when a vacant-eyed nobody picks up a magic wand from an asthmatic wizard? You get the end of the world, and no coffee with half-skim, half goat milk. How does one stop the Calamity? By hoping to get Randy's drink order just right.
Nobody Saves the World’s visuals remind me of Flash games from my Newgrounds-centric youth. There’s a respectable ugliness to it if that makes sense. Many of the characters are intentionally weird to look at, which I don’t mind. It does make the game look a bit cheap, but I think your disposition towards this style will largely depend on how you used the internet back in the day.
Being an avid fan of Drinkbox Studios previous games, I can gladly say Nobody Saves the World is another successful addition to their catalog. It brings creative class-based gameplay with a hauntingly fun animated art style that runs like a dream on the Nintendo Switch. Despite the repetitive nature of Nobody Saves the World, the lows never outweigh the highs of completing quests, upgrading abilities, and mixing and matching new class combinations. The map size and story length aren’t overly large, so even if it wears out its welcome a bit, it isn’t as egregious as it could have been. Leve…
The further you progress in Nobody Saves the World, the more absurdity you encounter, and it’s wonderful.
For those looking for some co-op fun, Nobody Saves the World is your game. If you've got a buddy that likes top-down action RPGs, make sure to add this one to your queue.
Drinkbox's signatue charm and humor is infused in this non-serious ARPG. With a wonderful art style and fun world to explore, Nobody Saves the World is a fun 20 hour escape.
Choose the form of the destructor.There's a lot to admire about indie studio DrinkBox, but perhaps the company's greatest attribute is its willingness [...]
Nobody Saves the World is a funny, inventive, but repetitive action RPG. It's fun to explore the class customisation, but that comes after repeatedly grinding dungeons to level up new forms. You'll have to ensure you really enjoy silly jokes and cooking up custom classes, which are definitely the game's biggest strength.
Drinkbox's latest is an ARPG that has real fun with the classes.
