Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a slow-paced adventure may bounce off the fast shooting and combat.
- Players who want unrestricted access to every area may hit a wall when new worlds require golden carrots.
- Players seeking a party-based role-playing game may find the focus on shooting, exploration, and boss battles too narrow.
- Players looking for a game outside the adventure genre may not want this paid Steam title.
Our take on Willful
The bounce point is the world-access system: players who do not want to spend money on powerups or obtain golden carrots may hit a progression barrier when trying to reach new areas. That requirement arrives alongside the game's shooting and exploration loop.
What is Willful?
Willful is a fast-paced shooting and exploration adventure starring Will, a small rabbit offered as a sacrifice.
The game spans ten worlds, including ruins, forests, other dimensions, and a giant computer chip. Players fight Behemoth, a mysterious entity, and his group of followers while exploring each area. Money can be spent on powerups, and golden carrots grant access to new worlds. Other activities include meeting a rock golem, buying items from carrot dealers, and battling bosses. Willful draws on elements from Mega Man, Metroid, and other classic games from the 80s and 90s.
