Unbound: Worlds Apart

Mechanics

In Unbound: Worlds Apart the action was shown from the side. As we move through the successive stages, we come across various riddles, field obstacles and enemies. As Soli is not a skilled fighter, he can cope with the adversities of fate by opening portals to other lands. In this way, it creates a kind of 'bubbles' of alternative reality around itself, in which the laws of physics change, as does the levels design. Most often, this makes one obstacle appear in place of another when the portal is recalled; for example, instead of a terrifying monster, we will see a stone pillar that Soli has to jump over, or a chasm that requires it to through the ceiling.

As we make progress, we are getting access to new types of portals, making it worthwhile to return to already visited sites from time to time to discover secrets that have been missed. In addition, the growing range of our capabilities is reflected in more and more challenging tasks - from complex puzzles to obstacles that are more difficult to overcome, to clashes with bosses.

Technical aspects

The colourful, hand-drawn Unbound: Worlds Apart graphics look very nice.
