Combat in Indivisible.

Indivisible is a hand-drawn combo of Metroidvania and turn-based RPG

Indivisible is gorgeous. Lab Zero Games’ project has hand-drawn art and animation that makes it look like a playable cartoon. But this pretty game is much more than eye candy.

I played Indivisible, which is coming out in 2019 for Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, at a pre-E3 event that publisher 505 games hosted in Santa Monica last month. At first, Indivisible plays like a typical Metroidvania. You explore a nonlinear 2D world. But while most Metroidvanias have you attacking enemies directly with guns or swords, encountering an enemy in Indivisible puts you into turn-based combat of a role-playing game (think old-school Final Fantasy here).
