    the good:

    - graphics: so nice to see a rpg that is not using them lame pixel graphics (the nes era is over!) or made with overrated rpgmaker with huge breasted anime characters. - music: soundtrack is awesome the bad: - grindfest: you have to grind like hell only way to get exp is to do quests and you have to do this with each form. So you have to level up every form to S rank and    the good:

    - graphics: so nice to see a rpg that is not using them lame pixel graphics (the nes era is over!) or made with overrated rpgmaker with huge breasted anime characters.
    - music: soundtrack is awesome

    the bad:
    - grindfest: you have to grind like hell only way to get exp is to do quests and you have to do this with each form. So you have to level up every form to S rank and even when you do level up the baddies level up with you! so you can grind as much as you want and later on you still get creamed in the higher dungeons even at lvl 60+! you have to spend literally hours doing this
    - never enough mana: later on you have to constantly use mana and your always running out (especially with the dragon he EATS IT like candy!) if you run out of mana during a boss (and you will) your pretty much screwed
    - wards ruin the whole game: this is the reason i stopped playing this. some dungeons have mobs with wards on them so you have to equip certain abilities to counter them. you can never make your perfect build since you have to constantly change abilities or swap to other forms than swap back to get rid of wards! you can't kill a baddy with a ward they are invincible. during boss fights is incredibly frustrating since there are so many mobs coming at you it's really hard to see what ward they have and you end up getting slaughtered because they can attack you but you can't attack them unless you have the right ability and if you don't run out of mana (you will)
    - dungeons are cut and paste: each dungeon is exactly the same just with a different look go around smashing stuff to get money, mana and food enter an area where usually a huge group of mobs is and kill them than move on rinse and repeat.
    - nothing like zelda: you see them screenshots with a huge world to explore etc? hate to break it to you but the map is pretty much empty all you do is kill baddie mobs in your way, do a quest here and there which ends up giving you a poor amount of exp or enter a dungeon now and than but they are all the same (see above)

    verdict:
    - too grindy
    - mobs are way OP later on
    - can't powerlevel since baddies match your stats in higher level dungeons
    - boring dungeons
    - always run out of mana so you have to constantly switch to nobody and use slap (except during a boss)
    - can't use dragon properly without having to replenish mana after Evey single mob fight.
    - wards SUCK    … Expand

    Nobody Saves the World is a fun game, where the story, the quests and every other gameplay element are in the service of the character and evolution system. There are no armours or weapons or potions, it all comes down to the forms that work as classes and mixing their abilities. Sure, it can become a tad repetitive, and the humour has its ups and downs just as the level design, but overall, the experience is a memorable and enjoyable one. Nobody Saves the World has a lot of soul and quite a few flickers of originality, worth to be experienced since it is part of the Game Pass Ultimate catalogue.

    Nobody Saves the World does exploration and variety exceptionally well. At the same time, its heavy flow of rewards with very little challenge involved often makes it feel like you're mindlessly and unskillfully pressing buttons just to get another quick dopamine hit.
