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.
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.
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.
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.

This little indie game is testimony to what can be achieved with a small team of developers and a lot of crazy creative imagination.

If you think Wuppo looks adorable and you can appreciate challenging games, you can buy this title. It'll provide many hours of fun, but there are some annoying elements like the camera and using the menu.
KeenGamer: 8.5 / 10
Wuppo ended up being much more enjoyable than I had expected it to be. The gameplay was dark, yet lighthearted, and very humorous. Finding new NPC's to talk to and learn some more of the story from always got a laugh out of me as the Wums explained why they were kicked out of the WumHouse. I appreciate the RPG elements put into the game and how the player can change the appearance of Wum by equipping different weapons and armor. Finding new weapons was fun as different enemies became easier to kill with more powerful items. Collecting the Filmstrips was fun as every conversation with the Old Wum was funny and learning more of the lore of the world was exciting. The somber music was a great accompaniment to the title and the tastefulness of the artwork added depth to the characters and environments. The only real downside I found was that that game was so simple it didn't provide much challenge. Areas were easy to navigate and a map was never required. All in all, Wuppo is a fun and humorous experience that players will enjoy thoroughly.
