Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG developed by the French studio Sandfall Interactive. It introduces real-time elements during battles, set in a dark fantasy world. In this world, a powerful entity known as the Paintress wakes annually to paint a number on her monolith, causing everyone of that age to vanish. As the game begins, the Paintress is about to awaken and paint the number 33. You play as Expedition 33, a group of 33-year-olds determined to stop her.
The combat system is a highlight, blending turn-based strategy with real-time actions such as dodging, parrying, and counterattacking. Players can chain combos by timing button presses and use a free-aim system to target enemy weak points. For more details, check out our Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 preview.
