You get stars for completing quests which basically means you get them for everything you do. Similar to Mario 64 you’ll need a certain amount of stars to enter the major dungeons but to be honest these were never a problem. Your character progression is gated by story progression which is gated by stars. It’s a good incentive to keep changing up your form to unlock new abilities, which will in turn level you up more, but also give you a range of new abilities to help you complete yet more quests for your characters. So a guard could use the rat’s ability to attack and regain life from it, for example. The basic attack will always be the same but any other slot can contain skills unlocked from other classes which is a neat idea. These will all come with an element which will sometimes be required to remove a barrier from certain enemies.Īs you unlock a range of forms and their abilities you’ll be able to mix and match. It’s the other abilities that you unlock which require mana that will vary things up more with shields, summons, dash attacks and more. Different forms will have a different basic attack like shooting from a distance, biting from close range or charging a larger attack. The combat itself is actually quite simple. Generally it is quite a forgiving game though, with any money you’ve picked up or progress made towards your quests being kept upon death. Die and you return to the entrance to try again. Larger dungeons have modifiers attached to them like exploding corpses or any healing you receive also applying to your enemies but otherwise they’re basically the same.ĭie in the overworld and you’ll respawn at the most recent save point you walked past but a dungeon has to be done in one go. There are no puzzles, the most you’ll get is a gate requiring you to find a key or defeat a certain amount of enemies to progress. Once you reach a dungeon you simply need to get to the end of it and defeat the boss/waves of enemies. Completing quests will also level up an overall level for your character which is a good indicator of which areas you should venture into as you explore the environment, defeating monsters and collecting currency to buy upgrades with. You’ll have main quests as well so ideally you’ll just be completing the form quests as you go about doing the other ones and advancing your adventure. Gain enough experience to gain a level and you’ll unlock new abilities and new forms. They’ll be simple things like using a specific skill on enemies a certain amount of times and upon completing the quest you’ll get some experience for that form. You unlock a new form, in this case a rat, and gain new quests related to that form. This is the key mechanic for Nobody Saves the World. As you’re given the tutorial for the controls you complete enough quests to unlock the ability to turn into a rat. You’re told to talk to Nostramagus the powerful wizard as he’ll know how to help you but he’s not at his house, instead all you can find is his wand and a note asking for aid. You have amnesia and a vacant look in the holes where your eyes should be. You wake up in a shack as a naked nobody. Instead you walk around a top down world which looks similar to an older Zelda title but with a focus on combat rather than puzzles. It’s quite a departure from those games with their Metroidvania level layouts, technical platforming and combat.
