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.

, and though I am ecstatic to see it finally released to the public, my first impression of the game had left me confused. Like all players, I spawned somewhere in Inferno, immediately thrown into a chaotic battle as Beatrice, the guide, instructed me on the basics of combat—though you won’t survive that first run.

This game is a work in progress. It may or may not change over time or release as a final product. Purchase only if you are comfortable with the current state of the unfinished game.

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.

A faceless, damned soul, a rebel who has rejected destiny to fight against God and demand a different fate. That’s who you are in 33 Immortals. Well, you and countless others who are also joining in for a fight against everything in Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven.

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.

Adding to that, if you’re itching to play with a wider group of friends than three, unfortunately, four player parties are the maximum you can achieve right now, letting you matchmake into 33-player rounds with the group as if this is a co-op battle royale.

But I liked the vibe The Dark Woods area offers, letting me recover a bit from the hectic Inferno, and interact with these characters to help the story of 33 Immortals

That also means you can join an open game at any time – there are more than enough enemies around should I just want a quick “pick-up and raid” session to earn some Shards to spend on cosmetics and Perks in The Dark Woods, your home base on this adventure. Having a constant flow of Souls in and out Inferno also fits nicely within the narrative of 33 Immortals

Unfortunately, I can’t judge the 33 Immortals Gameplay game based on promised features. Thankfully, this multiplayer twist on the roguelike genre is enough of a draw alone for me to recommend 33 Immortals.

Vu notre temps imparti relativement court, nous n’avons toutefois pas pu explorer plus avant cette partie do la progression. Il faudra donc creuser plus profondfoiment la question dans sa version early access disponible dès aujourd’hui.
