I spent a large chunk of my time with the game on the first available map, Hell. Entering Purgatory, the second map, requires special keys that can only be obtained by progressing far enough with the final boss battle in Hell (a three-headed Lucifer). While I managed to snag some keys, not many players from the review session were available to join whenever I entered this new world and usually ended up dying almost immediately due to the much higher tier of enemies and horde numbers.

C’est justement au niveau des armes qual 33 Immortals vient densifier son gameplay centré avant tout sur la coopfoiration. Au nombre pour l’instant do 4, nous avons donc au choix : 

makes sure you feel every decision, every mistake, and every moment of triumph has weight on your soul. 8 33 Immortals 33 Immortals is a bold take on the roguelike genre, but its large-scale co-op is both a thrill and a challenge. When teamwork clicks, going against divine judgement it’s an otherworldly experience—but when it doesn’t, runs can feel chaotic and frustrating for solo players.

Each one doesn’t have a lot of power in their hands alone, but even Hell itself can be taken down with enough unity and coordination. At least I hope so, since non-e of the runs I did with my teammates ended up beating even Lucifer at his domain.

. Multiplayer games live and die by their playerbases, and releasing a cooperation play-focused indie game that wants 33 players in each session is a tough ask even in the short-term unless the title simply blows up across the current gaming landscape.

The game’s dependence on teamwork is a double-edged sword—success feels earned, but failure can often be out of your control.

In particular, to me Lucifer’s and Adam and Eve’s boss themes perfectly capture the overwhelming presence of these divine adversaries making you feel like just a poor, damned soul in looking to defy the impossible.

Releasing on Game Pass is a major plus for this reason, but the studio is skipping Steam for the early access launch. This has not boded well for most multiplayer games on PC.

What I can't comment on just yet is the price of the game. The studio says it is revealing the price tag at launch, and not even reviewers have received this information early. When the official number releases in a couple of hours, I will re-evaluate my score in this review to see if it requires bumping a number down or up, depending on the value the game offers. The Early Access price has been revealed to be $19.99. I have bumped up my review's score to oito.5.

Complete these to earn a variety of helpful loot and resources that you can then put into your character, increasing your odds of success as you proceed to tackle the next Torture Chamber, and then the one after that, and so forth.

Annoncé pour la toute première fois en juin 2023 lors du Xbox Games Showcase, l’intrigant rogue-lite « massivement multijoueur » 33 Immortals sort aujourd’hui en early access.

Every time I perished in a run, I was already thinking of how I could make the next better, trying not to 33 Immortals Gameplay rely on the chance-based item drops. In the beginning, I simply wanted to rush to the boss level, so it was all about using valuable resources to report to nearby Torture Chambers and finishing them as fast as possible. Once I had my soul’s ass thoroughly beat, I slowed the pace down and made sure to get some personal upgrades in between the dungeons, which meant sticking with groups that were farming enemies and world items instead of just the dungeons.

That’s all I could gather about the lore before taking my repeated trips to Hell for all that loot and boss-slaying goodness. I suspect many players will be going the same route at launch too, as listening to NPCs and reading pages of lore are probably not what most action game fans want to do when they boot up a hardcore multiplayer experience.

You start a run by picking a weapon — justice sword, sloth staff or greed daggers — and each has a special ability that only works when three players stand together and activate it. It’s different for each weapon, but the effect is consistently grand. I stuck with the Staff of Sloth, a weapon that flings purple balls of magic and whose special ability slows enemies across a large swath of the battlefield.
