Outbuddies DX is a 2D action-adventure Metroidvania game developed by Julian Laufer. Set in the mysterious underwater ruins of Bahlam, players control an explorer named Nikolay who becomes stranded in a vast, interconnected world filled with ancient secrets and dangerous creatures. Accompanied by a friendly robotic companion called Buddy, players must uncover hidden paths, solve environmental puzzles, and survive intense battles.
The game emphasizes exploration, ability-based progression, and backtracking, typical of the Metroidvania genre. As players gain new powers, previously inaccessible areas open up, encouraging thorough exploration. Combat includes fast-paced encounters with enemies and challenging boss fights. Buddy plays a key role by hacking terminals, scanning environments, and assisting in puzzle-solving.
