36 Great Games Like Worldless

Our experts have spent time searching for great games similar to Worldless and have found the following:

Worldless is a running and jumping game where you explore a strange, shapeless world and fight monsters in turn-based combat. Starting almost formless, you steadily gain a plethora of abilities to dash, glide, jump and run through the levels, and a range of attacks and dodges to overcome enemies. It's an unusual combination of peaceful platforming and fast-paced combat that underlines the tension of a disembodied hero slowly finding their form.

Unfortunately, Worldless is not available on Android, Mac, PS4, PS5, Switch or iOS. However, we recommend the following games that offer a similar experience or theme:
