“Great game. It has the most fun turn-based combat I have ever played, beating even the Mario and Luigi games. Short and sweet game, just wish the game was longer as the combat system is way too fun.”

“Solid 7.5/10 It's beautiful first off, visually. Gameplay wise it can be simple or hard depending on how much of the optional stuff you do. Still not done with all of it but It's definitely a challenge, some of those…”

“9.5/10 - has a unique fighting style that is fun to play - art style is good - musics are amazing”
“Loved the art and music. Once the combat clicked for me I was hooked, brilliant mesh of turn based/rhythm/parry/puzzle that somehow works. Wish we got way more encounters. I'm conflicted on the platforming though, it…”

“Worldless is a stunning, avant-garde Metroidvania that replaces button-mashing with a deep, turn-based fighting system. While the game could do a much better job of explaining its complex moveset, the captivated…”

“Very good :) Amazing amount of content but the game is so good I'm constantly itching for more, please more, I beg, I would buy a million dlc's for this game.”
— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“Excellent visual design with a strong focus on form and color. Really efficient and engaging gameplay design to match the visual/thematic stylings of the experience. My only significant (spoiler free) complaint on that front is that you gain powers and skills so quickly there…”
