There’s also a rock hard boss at the end of the demo that really puts your skills to the test, including your ability to memorise its quick-fire vertical and horizontal attack prompts to queue up your appropriate shield. Sure, there’s an element of rote learning in here, but there’s also no real penalty for being defeated either. You’re simply brushed away from the fight, and can instantly try it again with full health. Brilliant. Love it. More of this please.

Right now, Worldless is still slated for a general 2023 release on Steam, but I’d definitely recommend giving its demo a go if you’re after a hip, newMetroidvaniathat does things differently. Its early platforming chops look very promising from what I’ve played so far, and if its upgradeable combat abilities continue to provide interesting tactical options in battle, developers Noname Studios could be on to a winner here. I’ll be keeping an eye on it as it heads toward release.
