Microsoft just revealed a whole host of promising new indie games during the ID@Xbox Showcase, and one of the most colorful and interesting-looking was Nobody Saves the World from Guacamelee developer DrinkBox Studios. At first glance, the game may look like just another dungeon-hack RPG, albeit one with a nice art style, but DrinkBox is doing some fun things to mix up the formula. First off, you’ll eventually be able freely swap between 15 different forms, including classic RPG classes like Ranger and Rogue, as well as some less-typical forms like a bodybuilder, mermaid, or horse. Also, say goodbye to level grinding – progression comes from completing quests, not bashing enemies over the head for XP. You can check out the debut trailer for Nobody Saves the World, below.
