''World to the West'' is a 3D open-world puzzle brawler developed by Rain Games as a sequel to their original game, Teslagrad. It was released on May 5, 2017.
It is set in the same universe as Teslagrad, taking place in a "World to the West" that is apparently an ocean away from the countries featured in the previous game. The player has access to four different characters with different abilities: Lumina the Teslamancer, Knaus the orphan, Miss Teri the mind bender, and Lord Clonington the "strongman aristocrat". Together, they will defeat an evil corporate executive known as Tychoon, while also exploring the secrets of the World to the West.

----
!!This video game provides examples of:
* ActionBomb: The small rodents found in the desert areas.
* ActionGirl: Lumina definitely qualifies.
* AntiHero: Clonington, though not dark or edgy, is mostly in it for his own honor rather than any saving of the world. He's also very, ''very'' egocentric.
* BadassGrandpa: Oleg, who can be fought in the boxing ring after Clonington talks to him. He has by far the most health of any character in the game.
* BagOfHolding: Later in the game, Teri gains a bag that she can use to store small critters for use any time.
* BewilderingPunishment: Lumina has no idea why [[spoiler:Anastasia is trying to kill her.]]
* BigBad: Tychoon.
* BlackBeadEyes: Pretty much everyone has these.
* BossArenaIdiocy: The only reason Miss Teri is able to retrieve [[spoiler:the second control core]] is because the arena is full of lily pads that just happen to be the perfect design for grabbing with her scarf.
* BullfightBoss: [[spoiler:Anastasia]]'s fight, which requires Lumina to make liberal use of her blink ability.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Anastasia]], who makes an appearance as the owner of an orphanage in Carte Blanche before she is revealed [[spoiler:to be Tychoon's personal assassin with a grudge against Teslamancers.]] It even shows if Lumina talks to her in the market.
* ContinuityNod: Teslagrad's cards depicted the Teslamancers discovering the Guerickes Orb in a land with a step pyramid. This land has step pyramids, it's known that the Teslamancers got much of their technology here... [[spoiler:and one of the last bosses is a 3D version of the Guerickes Orb]].
** Guess who's back? Oleg, from the first game. He even tells Lumina that he knows her father.
** The cards of Teslagrad showed characters from the nations of Mesmer and Angloria. These characters are dressed virtually identically to Teri, Clonington and the Anglorian scientist.
** To boot, in the [[GoldenEnding good ending]] of Teslagrad, the woman from Mesmer and the man from Angloria were shown in a hotel plotting something out.
** One of the cards in Teslagrad also shows an airship in a card about Mesmer. A similar airship later makes an appearance when it crashes in a stream.
* CoolAirship: The airship that the shipment of goods from Mesmer arrive in... at least until it crashes.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: His name is Tychoon. What did you expect?
* DeadpanSnarker: Teri.
->'''Tenoch''': You certainly have spirit, young lady.
->'''Teri''': That's what old people say when they can't say anything nice.
* DeflectorShields: Drones have them. Luckily, they drop their shields when they prepare an attack, and it only takes one hit to kill them.
* DemolitionsExpert: Knaus seems to be well-acquainted with explosives from his work in the mining colonies, and later obtains dynamite as a weapon and utility.
* DifficultButAwesome: To use Knaus's dynamite, you have to have a good sense of timing and a good sense of aim. However, it's the most powerful weapon in the game in damage-per-hit, able to one-shot most monsters.
** Lumina's tesla staff can also qualify. Though it can only be aimed in the cardinal and intermediate directions and takes time to charge, it is extremely powerful if it hits.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Anastasia]] to Tychoon.
* DungeonBypass: Played with. Knaus's shovel allows him to dodge large portions of dungeons, but only if the ground is soft enough for him to dig. Early on it's his only method of survival, so it's intentional, but it has its limits.
** Clonington can also climb ledges, allowing him to clear areas much faster and easier than his compatriots.
* ExpendableClone: Averted. Clonington's creator tells him to not get himself killed, as it's difficult to make clones.
* FlashStep: Lumina, like all Teslamancers, is able to blink with her boots, allowing her to cross short distances and access areas that are blocked off by gates.
* Foreshadowing: If you talk to a woman in the marketplace as Lumina, she acts very surprised. [[spoiler:Turns out she's actually the masked assassin that you fight twice in the game.]]
* FreeFallFight: Clonington's portion of [[spoiler:the final battle against Tychoon]] is this, with the platform they're on falling out of the sky.
* GameBreakingBugs: For a time shortly after release, Knaus's ice skates only allowed him to skate north, thereby rendering large portions of the map unreachable.
* GenocideBackfire: [[spoiler:Judging by Anastasia's dialogue during her first fight, the Teslamancers that visited the world to the west wreaked untold devastation. Now, she's going to take revenge on Lumina.]]
* GenreSavvy: Teri appears to be this.
-->'''Teri''': Square keyhole. Square key. Basic adventuring.
** Tychoon also has his moments, particularly [[spoiler:in the final fight, where he decides to hide inside his capsule until the world ends. Lumina tells him it's not fair, but thankfully, Knaus steps in.]]
* GottaCatchEmAll: Like the previous game, there are a bunch of scrolls available to the clever player that tell the game's backstory.
* TheGreatFlood: In the cards, Chal uses this to recreate the world after it has been devastated by the warring disciples.
* GuideDangIt: Sometimes the game doesn't tell you how specific objects can be interacted with. Notably, there are doors that you can only open by killing all of a specific monster in the area.
** Miss Teri suffers from this. It's relatively unclear what all the various monsters do if she can possess them, although it's relatively easy to figure out that they can all attack as normal.
*** Flailmunks are capable of jumping long distances and can carry keys in their mouth. They can also fit into small spaces.
*** Grues can be ridden and can sprint like Teri herself.
*** Rock crabs can be forced to sit down in soft ground, and can be stood on in this position, though they will try to throw the player off. This allows Teri to climb small ledges if there's soft ground nearby.
*** Slapsquatches can be ridden and can climb, much like Clonington. They can also throw Teri a great distance if she orders them to.
*** Snorthogs can be ridden.
*** The little explosive gophers can destroy blocks with their explosions, and can fit into small spaces.
*** Fat fish can be ridden.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Teri kind of gets the short end of the stick through most of the game, as she's the only character who can't reliably fight. However, it turns out that her mind-control is necessary in the final fight because of an [[spoiler:[[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman oddly specific]] requirement that the doomsday machine be turned off by the person who activated it.]]
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:Anastasia]] is pretty cruel in her quest for revenge.
* HiddenElfVillage: The village of Tenoch's people, which apparently has never been visited by outsiders before.
* HollywoodMagnetism: The magnetic elevators that Lumina can ride immediately stop after reaching a certain height.
* HumanCannonball: Supposedly how the orphans were sent to the World to the West, though they were told they were being sent to the moon. It's called the "Moon Bullet."
* IdealHero: Knaus pretty much qualifies. He only wants to help his friends, no matter what.
* ImmortalityInducer: The backstory of the game indicates a "blue fruit" which seems to be this.
* Irony: [[spoiler:The ultimate fate of Ratrich and his bullies, and later Tychoon? Buried in the "shame pits" that they put children in earlier.]]
* KidHero: Knaus qualifies.
* KidsAreCruel: The kids running the mining colony that Knaus lives in at the start of the game are very much examples.
* KnightInSourArmor: Teri isn't that enamored with helping save the world, but she does it anyway.
* LightningGun: Lumina's Tesla Staff, which gains the ability to fire balls of lightning early on.
* LockedOutOfTheFight: Each boss fight can only be completed by a single character. [[spoiler:Lumina is the only one that can fight Anastasia or the Guerickes Orb, while Knaus has to fight Ratrich, Teri "fights" a giant fish, and Clonington does battle with a massive grue.]] They all get individual portions of the final boss battle according to their abilities.
* MacGuffin: The [[spoiler:control cores]] that [[spoiler:allow control of the weather machine]].
* Magitek: The stuff that Lumina and her Teslamancer kind do with electricity are pretty much impossible, unfortunately, without a heaping helping of magic.
* MeaningfulName: Miss Teri. Mystery.
* MentorArchetype: Tenoch to all of the characters.
* MindManipulation: Miss Teri's scarf allows her to do this to enemies, which allows her to harness their unique abilities.
* OurClonesAreIdentical: Clonington is a genetically engineered clone.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: The announcer in the boxing ring describes Clonington as "the second most aristocratic aristocrat."
* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:Anastasia]] is pretty horrible to Lumina [[spoiler:simply on account of what her precursors did]].
* PuzzleBoss: [[spoiler:Anastasia]] qualifies - once you've dodged her attacks and/or parried them, she pauses to repair her rocket hammer, and you are given a chance to strike.
* RideTheLightning: Lumina's blink boots.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Flailmunks count.
* TheSavageIndian: Strongly averted. Tenoch's people are very laidback and pacifist.
* ShoutOut: Like in the first game, [[Literature/DyingEarth grues]].
* SinsOfOurFathers: [[spoiler:Anastasia is out for revenge on all Teslamancers, and Lumina is the easiest target.]]
* StrangerBehindTheMask: [[spoiler:Anastasia]] is finally revealed after her second fight when she takes off her helmet.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: [[spoiler:Miss Teri, despite not actually being able to fight, gets a role in the final battle by controlling Tychoon to have him shut off the weather machine.]]
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Later on, Knaus gets a stick of dynamite that lets him do this.
* WalkOnWater: Knaus gets ice skates fairly early on that allow him to do this.
* WorthyOpponent: Clonington wants to make his entrance at the Affluent Society with a great prize. He eventually settles on a massive grue, declaring that it is a worthy opponent.
* WouldHurtAChild: Evidently, Tychoon, judging by the wrenches he throws at Knaus. And the thousands of children working in his mining colonies.
* YouCantFightFate: In the cards, Xinu is depicted trying to change his people's fate after viewing a "dread future" in a seeing-glass.
