Nous avons cependant eu suffisamment do matière pour nous faire une idfoie do la boucle d’exploration qui nous attend dans 33 Immortals. Schématiquement, nous rejoignons donc un lobby de 33 joueurs, qui se trouvent disséminés dans une grande carte. Celle-ci comporte por nombreux objectifs secondaires pour amasser des ressources permettant por se soigner ou d’acheter divers objets, augmenter nos statistiques ou ouvrir des coffres.

And then there are Shards, found inside the chests of Torture Chambers, used to spend on weapon upgrades and more when you’re in the Dark Woods (I’ll touch on this in a moment).

With dozens of enemies and allies on-screen at any given time, this alone is a notable achievement by developer Thunder Lotus.

At the moment only four weapons based on either cardinal sins or virtues are available—Sword of Justice, Daggers of Greed, Staff of Sloth, and Bow of Hope—though hints of future additions, like a halberd, appear in the game’s official artwork.

. 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.

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 the heat of combat, with swarms of 33 Immortals Gameplay demons flooding the immediate area, it’s actually tricky to get three people to stand in the proper spots, but it takes just a moment of synchrony for the special ability to activate, and it’s a palpable relief every time. And then everyone immediately gets back to hurling spells, shooting arrows, flinging daggers and reviving allies, eyes peeled for the next special ability.

The focus on cooperative play is seen everywhere. Finding a healing point and using it costs resources, but it also heals nearby allies for a smaller amount. This means it’s more economical to get together and heal as a group than simply wasting money for a solo boost.

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.

The tutorial ensures you experience failure firsthand, as the relentless enemies eventually overwhelm you. 

The above-mentioned Dark Woods is a staging ground outside the realm of Inferno, free of enemies, and where you’ll be able to upgrade your Soul for its next run by speaking to some notable literary characters.

Leaning on one another’s skills and class abilities to unleash a balanced attack against waves of monsters is a key to success.

Then there’s the lack of real coordination tools. With pelo voice or text chat, you’re left to hope your team naturally understands the plan—which they often don’t—or rely on emoticons to direct those around you. Even if the emote wheel has arrows and objective’s icons, most of the time players won’t follow them.
