Metroidvania-JRPG-Fighter-Hybrid
Indivisible is an indie metroidvania with jrpg and fighting game elements. You control Ajna, a 16 year old warrior who seeks revenge against those that burned down her village. You travel through a vast interconnected world from a 2D perspective with plenty of platforming. As you progress in your journey, you learn new abilities that let you access previously unreachable areas, steadily opening up the world. On your journey, you meet lots of interesting characters, some of which will join your party. There's also a leveling up system as you gain more experience and you can do side quests if you want to explore everything to its fullest. As you enter a battle with your party of four, each character is controlled by one of the face buttons. Pressing an action button makes the corresponding character perform a certain move, but holding up or down on the d-pad while attacking results in different moves. With 20 characters to choose from, each with their own specializations and move sets, there's tons of experimentation involved and each player will likely find a different team that suits them best. If you time your blocks just right, you don't take any block damage, and you also heal yourself and fill up the Iddhi bar. When full, this Iddhi bar can be used to perform high damaging super moves. All of these aspects come together in a gorgeously animated game with fun characters, each accompanied by great voice acting, and a fantastic story about personal growth. Given that this is an indie game made with a relatively low budget and that the studio closed down shortly after its release, Indivisible can be a bit rough around the edges sometimes. The main protagonist's story and character growth is amazing, but the side characters could have been fleshed out a bit more. But those are small gripes in an otherwise stellar adventure that took me 27 hours to fully complete. I had a great time with this game and I'm positive I'll revisit it plenty of times in the future.
