Nobody Saves the World is a new dungeon crawling game that tasks players with saving the world from evil. It is developed and published by DrinkBox Studios, the makers of the platforming game Guacamelee and its sequel. It will have players take on the role of Nobody, a blank-slate character, and use a wand to transform into 15 different forms, like a magician, robot, a dragon, and more.
As players progress through the game, they will unlock more abilities and forms to use in their adventure. Nobody Saves the World is scheduled to be released by Drinkbox on January 18 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass, and it can be played solo or with a friend in the cooperative, online multiplayer mode.
Recently, a new gameplay video for Nobody Saves the World was released that shows off "Late-Game" footage with some developer commentary from Assistant Producers Josh Davis and Daniel Korn. The developers play using the online co-op in Nobody Saves the World to show more of the game's overworld after having already shown plenty of dungeon gameplay.
For the new gameplay video, the developers show off an area called the Path of Doom. The Path of Doom is described as a series of arenas that players will need to complete to access other parts of the overworld later in the game, such as Ancient Mine and others. The Path of Doom offers different challenges and can block players' progress forward, and the arenas don't let anyone retreat either, so players will need to get past them.
In the Path of Doom, players will face waves of enemies and the developers advise that players be careful using their skills. The developers also show off some of the gameplay for the Robot and Necromancer forms that players can unlock later in the game. Players will get to see some of the abilities both of these forms will have as well as other forms that can be unlocked in Nobody Saves the World.
The video also shows the developers mixing and matching the various forms that are available to them. Once the developers make it through the Path of Doom, the video briefly shows some of the other NPCs players will meet throughout. Notably, the Fallen Hero, the Groundskeeper, and a couple of members from the Thieves Guild and Knights Guild, two of three guilds that will provide players various sidequests throughout the game.
Nobody Saves the World is scheduled to release on January 18 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
