Wuppo

Wuppo is an adventure game with additional RPG and platform game elements. The game was developed by a duo of independent developers known as Knuist & Perzik and was released for a number of platforms, including PC, XONE and PS4.

Plot

Wuppo takes us to a fantasy world. The player assumes control of a wum, an easy-going round being who has been exiled from his home community. The hero has to embark on a dangerous journey in order to find himself a new home. Unexpectedly, the protagonist becomes involved in a conspiracy that sees him solve an ancient conflict.

Mechanics

In Wuppo, the action is seen from a side scrolling perspective. Our journey sees us travel through vast and varied locales (including two major cities known as Popocity and Bliekopolis), avoid numerous traps and take care of various opponents including powerful bosses. The battles take place in real time and require agility as well as good use of wum’s abilities. On the other hand, the player encounters neutral characters and puzzles that are solved by employing found items. Moreover, our hero gathers stills that reveal the origins of this unique world.

Technical Aspects

Wuppo’s two-dimensional graphics are especially characteristic for their unique design – the game sports waterpainted visuals. We are also left with an atmospheric soundtrack that further reinforces the fantasy setting.
