Worlds of Aria Reviews
It is definitely at its best the more human players you have, as empty slots ultimately just become extra characters for your party to manage in addition to their own. The UI is a little clunky and can take some getting used to. But Worlds of Aria is ultimately a charming adventure that bridges the gap excellently between tabletop RPG and party game.
With its whimsical art, fun mechanics, and the ever-lovely voice of Laura Bailey bringing the story to life, Worlds of Aria is a great addition to any Switch owner’s library. Just make sure your Joy-Cons are up to the task—or grab that Pro Controller—and get ready to roll the dice on a new kind of adventure.
I absolutely adore Worlds of Aria, with its unpredictable Dungeons and Dragons-style gameplay loop making for a genuinely brilliant experience to share with friends. Each of the game’s acts is packed with charming and quirky situations where your choices will affect where the story will go, whilst each skill check you face will leave you on the edge of your seat as you eagerly anticipate your success (or failure)… I loved it. The game just really resonated with me, and with it easily accessible for additional players through the Friend Pass, it has been one of the best multiplayer experiences I’ve shared with friends. I have no doubt that the RNG decision making won’t be for everyone, but if you’ve ever enjoyed Dungeons and Dragons in the past, you simply HAVE to play Worlds of Aria.
Worlds of Aria does a brilliant job of recreating the tabletop RPG experience while maintaining its own personality. It’s an enjoyable game on your own, but it becomes absolutely fantastic when shared with friends. With simple mechanics and accessible gameplay, it’s easy for players of all skill levels to jump in and have fun. What really sets Worlds of Aria apart is its ability to make even failure fun. Whether you’re succeeding or stumbling through challenges, there are always laughs and memorable moments to be had. The game’s charm, coupled with its tabletop-inspired mechanics, makes it a must-play, especially if you have friends or family to join in.
