Though Indivisible’s platforming isn’t quite as strong as its combat, it’s no slouch. My other grumble is that a few fights do still manage to outstay their welcome, with some enemies sporting colossal health bars. The boss fights even mix hazardous platforming sections into the equation – though these can often be frustrating, a couple of notable examples killing me off right near the end when I’d almost defeated my adversary. The fact that fights feel much more active than a classic RPG, combined with the fact that enemies don’t respawn, avoids the monotonous grind that can set in with many of its peers. With each character having several moves and specials to combine in near limitless combinations, combat is a real highlight. Where the DNA of Skullgirls reveals itself is in how important timing is – you can juggle enemies in the air for instance, and block at just the right moment to deflect more damage. When she’s thoroughly soaked the battlefield, she can then ‘activate’ those puddles to damage any enemies standing on them whilst healing allies.Įach character is mapped to a face button. Take Thorani, for instance, who splashes puddles everywhere as she fights.

From the grouchy witch goth Razmi who wears a full tiger skin she regularly converses with, to the gratingly chipper botanist Ginseng & Honey who’s obsessed with biology, to the saccharine Thorani with floor-length hair who can control water, it’s a real ragtag team of personalities.Įven better, every character feels different to play, with some harbouring pretty fun and unusual mechanics. Take the unique, loveable cast of characters.
And what it lacks in storywriting creativity, Indivisible more than makes up in other areas. The anime and RPG tropes used so heavily here feel like soul food of the genres at this point, a comfortingly familiar backdrop to the action.
Sound familiar? If you’ve played any JRPG ever, I imagine it does. It’s not long before you’re embroiled in the fight to save the world from an ancient colossal power as the ‘chosen one,’ however, using the previously dormant power of your own. When the village is invaded, you set off into the world to avenge this attack.
You play Ajna, a rebellious girl growing up in a small village. It may be surprising, then, that the narrative is so formulaic. Add this to platforming level traversal and a dash of Metroidvania systems and it goes without saying that this is a truly experimental melting pot. Its other hook is your ‘Incarnations,’ a roster of 20+ incredibly diverse characters that can be freely swapped between your party of four. Coming from the developers of Skullgirls, it has some fighting game sensibilities, such as the ability to block in real time, build up combos and fill a special meter. Indivisible is an RPG, but one unlike any I’ve ever played. And I’m pleased to say that, for the most part, all of that persistence paid off. But four years since its Indiegogo campaign, Indivisible has finally reached the finish line. With an original estimated release date of early 2018, the game suffered multiple delays as Lab Zero came to terms with the ambition and scope of their project. Had it not reached that, it may have never existed. Fortunately, a 20-day extension was granted and Indivisible finally crawled past its lofty target, setting a record for the most raised on the crowdfunding platform. Though a not-insignificant sum, the $960k pledged during its 2015 Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign was still far short of the $1.5m goal, and this was on all-or-nothing stakes. : (Twitter): SPOILERS!
