An intriguing action-RPG / Metroidvania hybrid with some great ideas, but let down in key areas. We play as Ajna, a young woman in a Indian myth-inspired fantasy world. Her home is razed and father killed, but when she confronts his murderer, Dhar, she accidentally absorbs him into her mind and recruits him to fight alongside her, setting her on a quest against a warlord named Ravannavar who wishes to unseal a great power and destroy the world.

Central to Indivisible is a Valkyrie Profile-style combat system, but backed up by the kind of creative approach that comes from developers used to programming fighting games. Your party is vast, with each character showcasing very different ways of fighting, but the writing is where they're let down as each one has a paper thin personality. The general quality of writing is mediocre, with fairly predictable plot points and a deeply unlikable main character, and completionists will find themselves backtracking across the same stretches of land for hours, but beneath it all is a decent game.
