An MMORPG by Bossa Studios, the creators of crazy simulation games that base on playing with physics, for example I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator. Worlds Adrift takes us to a land filled with islands that float in the air, and we move between them on board various flying vessels.
Worlds Adrift is an MMORPG for PC that puts great emphasis on interacting with the surrounding environment. It was developed by Bossa Studios, the creators of the well-received I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator. The developers say that they drew inspiration from Skies of Arcadia and Wind Waker, among other titles.
Mechanics
The protagonist flies among moving isles in an aircraft. Maintaining and enhancing it is one of the key aspects of the gameplay. The land where the action takes place is characterized by very extreme and changing weather conditions, so in order for the vessel to stay in good condition, we really have to put in a lot effort. Such ships come in several kinds and sizes — the bigger it is, the more players it requires to fully staff the plane. These vessels can also be attacked and taken over; it is possible to sneak on board to damage or destroy their elements, as well.
The distinguishing feature of Worlds Adrift is the fact that its developers focused on making it possible for the protagonist to interact with nearly all elements of the environment. Throwing items and moving them as well as all sorts of collisions have certain results that depend on, for example, the weight and speed of an object. For instance: trees sway in the wind; they can also break under its pressure or as a result of being impacted by a different object. They can also be cut down to be then taken and used.
The player travels between islands and explores the area and gathers resources and other crafting ingredients with a helpful, universal tool. The vast majority of crafted items are meant to enhance the ship but some can be used by the protagonist (e.g. bow that lets us attack other players). It is worth mentioning that the game features a day-and-night cycle which influences the way certain things are done.
Technical aspect
Worlds Adrift for PC features specific graphics that have some charm to them and fits perfectly with the “desert” atmosphere of the title.
