An artistic platformer featuring turn-based combat. The protagonist of Worldless must traverse a mysterious world, uncover its secrets and find a place for themselves.
Worldless is an artistic platformer themed around personality development and self-awareness. It was developed by Noname Studios, published by Coatsink and Thunderful.
Worldless is set in a newborn world before its laws of existence have been clearly defined. The shapeless land consists of two realities: the first one is inhabited by still developing and shaping beings fascinated by their nature, while the second is made of their aspirations. We play as a ghostly figure traversing the world, discovering its secrets and trying to find a place for itself.
Worldless is a side-scroller. The player must head right, jump on platforms, avoid traps, obstacles and glide through the air. We'll also encounter enemies in turn-based battles. The player must guard, counter-attack and chain their moves into comos. To succeed, we must exhibit tactical sense, patience and timing. As we progress through the game, we unlock new abilities and increase our combat capabilities.
Worldless features distinctive, minimalist visuals. Unusual locations full of different colors and vague shapes are rather memorable, and so are the character designs (the main protagonist, for instance, is depicted as several disconnected shapes). The soundtrack is atmospheric and fits the tone well.

Game Ratings for Worldless Video Game.
New Game Network: 68 / 100 by Eric Hall
Worldless is not going to be for everyone. The harsh difficulty of the combat, and the thin plot can make it tough to move forward. However, there's satisfaction to be found in clearing the title's challenges. Combined with the splashy visuals, the adventure is worth undertaking if you're up for the task.

Worldless is a fun and challenging action platformer that has a great minimalist style, and a battle system that is fun to master. However, there are bits that need tightening up to make it truly great.
Invision Community: 8 / 10 by Craig Edwards
Worldless took a different route when it came to the combat mechanics that helped make it differ from other Metroidvania, but I enjoy the Hack n Slash form of combat that is in Hollow Knight and Dead Cell. Don’t get me wrong the turn-base fighting was fun, it just took a while to get my head around as the tutorial wasn’t the best. There was a frustrating difficulty spike when you hit certain enemies that would leave me stuck for ages and unable to progress.
