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.
VGamingNews: 8 / 10 by Thomas Fathers
Overall, although I wouldn’t count Wordless as one of my favourite 2D games, it’s one that isn’t afraid to try new things, and is able to do so with a gorgeous minimalist approach. With its harmonious blend of colours and sound and the mix of turn-based and real time combat, much like "Carol" and "Barry", the end result is a coming together that leaves you satisfied, but perhaps also leaves you wanting a little bit more.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Ken Talbot
Worldless attempts to differentiate itself from its peers by adding satisfying turn-based combat to the usual Metroidvania loop. It largely succeeds, helped by an intoxicating art style and varied puzzle mechanics. Some difficulty spikes interrupt the flow and knock the dreamlike exploration off balance, but you'll feel compelled to overcome them.

I liked Worldless, but I wasn’t very good at it. Visually, the game looks great, and I had a lot of fun exploring the world and trying to make sense of the vague story while taking in the scenes and listening to the score. Combat, however, is tough. It’s not broken or glitchy. It just takes some fast fingers and careful attention to really master it. I liked it in principle, but it just didn’t click for me. I still give Worldless a solid recommendation. If you’re up for the challenge, you will discover a unique adventure that’s well worth taking the time to master.
