    Nobody Saves the World is great on Switch, and Drinkbox's excellent adventure should be snapped up by those who've yet to play it.

    Nobody Saves the World is a quirky and engaging little action RPG. With smooth controls, awesome art and sound, plenty of customization options, and fantastic multiplayer; you should definitely consider adding this one to your Switch library.

    Having now played Nobody Saves the World on Xbox Series X, Switch, and PC, I would recommend the Switch version above the others for offering the ability to play at home or on the go with a competent port. The gameplay suits the pickup and play nature of the system as well. I’m going to keep chipping away towards completing every aspect of Nobody Saves the World on Switch, but I can’t imagine this won’t end up being my favorite DrinkBox Studios release so far. I hope it gets a physical release down the line. If you’re looking for a charming action RPG that blends a bit of Zelda and Diablo together with its own signature style, Nobody Saves the World is for you.

    Despite its repetitive nature, there is so much to love about Nobody Saves the World. Not only is it a great experience to share with a friend, but it’s a memorable one overall. Drinkbox Studios has crafted such a fun and challenging experience that definitely made me a glutton for punishment. There is so much creativity throughout the game from its overall aesthetic to its unique take on action RPG combat. Nobody Saves the World deserves so much praise for everything it accomplishes and is a must-play for anyone who loves crazy apocalyptic settings filled with questionable but loveable weirdos.

    Nobody Saves the World takes the joke a little too far, forcing the player to go through the same motions over and over, to the point where it feels like the game is laughing at you, rather than with you. [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 19]

    Nobody Saves the World is a charming action RPG with a beautiful visual style, accessible and welcoming gameplay, and a great variety in how we handle its dungeons. Its mechanics are simple enough for any player to grasp but that doesn't mean its difficulty level doesn't get demanding. Nobody Saves the World is a fun and ambitious gem that goes beyond the label of an 'indie' game and which will fit nicely in any Nintendo Switch.

    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.

    It is spectacular, an other indie game better than AAA games, it’s perfect!

I'm not a big fan of the genre as a rule but this has a lot of fun options and depth. I am playing the campaign with my grilfriend, and we both love the playstyle. It walks a fine line between rpgs and not doing the things that make people like me hate rpgs. As a two player game, I cannot recommend it enough. Though don't expect Zelda or you will be VERY disappointed. For 20 bucks or so, the amount of fun you will have is easily worth it.… Expand

The mechanic of leveling up new forms (classes) using skill combinations in new way makes approaching new portions of the game feel fresh. Knowing I have more forms to work towards gives me just enough of an incentive to keep pushing forward. The game is just plain fun! Prior to this, I had just finished Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, which was an enjoyable stroll through nostalgia. Switching to Nobody Saves the World, I didn't have a lot of high hopes for it, especially because it was the same type of game essentially... but after about 12 hours of Nobody I can honestly say I'm enjoying this game MUCH more than LoZ:LA.… Expand

    But I think both Guacamelee! games (which are by the same studio) to be better and more polished, especially when it comes to music and humour.
    Still, Nobody Saves the World was fun.    … Expand

    游戏略显枯燥乏味，虽然有创意，美术风格也很有趣，但是游戏性并没有想象中的好。

In short, it went from great fun to totally not fun and I am not sure I have the enthusiasm or energy left to try and get out of this giant drag that the game served up.… Expand
