Gameplay

Nobody Saves the World is an action role-playing game played from a top-down perspective. The game can be played solo, though it also had a cooperative multiplayer mode. In the game, the player controls a blank-state character named Nobody, who is equipped with a wand. The wand allows him to transform into 15 forms, such as magicians, robots and dragons.[1] Each form has two basic skills at the beginning of the game, though as players progress, new abilities will be unlocked. These characters also have different stats and attributes. The skills and the abilities of different Forms can be combined together to create devastating attacks.[2] Other Forms can share the gameplay benefits of one Form when it was unlocked.[3]

As players explore the overworld and dungeons which are procedurally generated, players need to complete quests and gameplay objectives in order to earn experience for upgrades and Star, a currency which is used to unlock the legendary dungeons featured in the game. These dungeons are filled with enemies and traps, though players may also find treasure chests and hidden keys if they explore an area thoroughly. In each of the game's dungeon, the only respawn point is located in the area where the player is about to encounter an enemy boss.[4]

Development

The game is currently being developed DrinkBox Studios, who previously released Guacamelee! series. The game was inspired by The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy Tactics, in particular, its Job system that allows players to assume different roles and occupations.[3] Nobody Saves the World is DrinkBox's first multiplayer game after the team was convined by Microsoft to add online multiplayer.[2] Jim Guthrie, which previously composed the music for Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP and Planet Coaster, will serve as the game's composer.[5]

The game was officially announced in March 2021 during the ID@Xbox Twitch Gaming Showcase.[6] While the game was originally set to be released in 2021, DrinkBox announced that the game would be delayed to early 2022 in August 2021. The game is set to be released for Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S.[7]
