Nobody Saves the World received "generally favorable reviews" according to review aggregator Metacritic.[11][12][13][14]
Game Informer enjoyed how the game forced the player to constantly change their loadout, "Every dungeon sports a dangerous modifier, which often upset my preferred loadout... The various modifiers made me appreciate the breadth of customization and experimentation for every form".[16] Destructoid liked the cartoon-inspired visuals, writing that the game, "injects a ton of personality into basically every facet of its being. The animation is fantastic: like something straight out of a Cartoon Network show, with characters who have exaggerated, over-the-top emotive reactions".[15] PC Gamer praised the variety each of the game's forms enabled "Each form begins with a unique signature attack and passive ability... But the real fun begins once you can mix and match abilities from different forms in an open-ended system... with a similar onus on freeform experimentation".[22] IGN criticized the endgame, saying it lacked the variety in new forms that was found earlier, "On the other end of that, the last stretch of the 15-hour adventure starts to suffer from a feeling that the well has run dry. I ran out of new forms to chase, I felt like I had seen and experimented with all of the ability synergies that made sense, and I felt like I had easy answers for just about everything".[19] Eurogamer recommended the game, calling it extremely replayable, concluding, "Drinkbox's latest is as polished and colourful as you might expect - and it's as generous too."[27] Shacknews praised the game for its combat, customizable builds, art style, dungeons, characters, and commentary on the RPG genre while criticizing the autosave system.[26] Hardcore Gamer praised the ability to encourage experimentation and its challenge system, calling it "Drinkbox’s most curious but mechanically-satisfying title to date."[18]
