33 Immortals

33 Immortals successfully blends roguelite progression, fast-paced action, and MMO-style raids into a unique cooperative experience. While repetition eventually sets in, its stylish presentation, excellent performance, and affordable price make it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for fun multiplayer sessions.

33 Immortals captures some of the tone and feel of large scale MMO raiding parties, distilling it within a more bitesized roguelite scheme and some clever co-op mechanics. The repetitious nature of this will turn some away, and there is a shelf life to how much there really is to do here, but it's also part of the appeal to gradually power up and (when you feel like it) push on to tougher realms.

33 Immortals is an interesting co-op experience that doesn't hit always hit the mark. Co-op gameplay is solid, but you can feel disconnected from your allies. The progression systems are there, but feel muted. The combat is fun, and weapons are balanced, but are held back by the reliance on co-op, meaning you'll never feel powerful by yourself.

I appreciate the idea behind 33 Immortals and did experience fun runs, but it gets to be tedious and relies too heavily on others for success.

Thunder Lotus has a great foundation here and I’m excited to see what else it has on its roadmap for early access. I know that an 11-player run is already in the works, but I’m eager to see some more creative weapons, new perks, and varied maps that’ll make each run feel a little different. I’m happy to enlist in any war against God, but I’ll need a little more if this is going to be the kind of roguelike I return to regularly. I have no reason to think that Thunder Lotus won’t get there, as 33 Immortals is already in great shape in early access. If you’re looking for an inventive new co-op game, join the holy war today.

There is a certain sense of feeling like a wandering soul in 33 Immortals that the title captures in a way that I haven’t experienced in a game before, making the experience truly feel unique yet familiar within the roguelike genre. [Early Access Impressions]

33 Immortals is so much of what I love about gaming mushed into a tight package, one I can make a tiny dent in while I wait for my partner to return home from work before inevitably recruiting them to join the fight. Should I ever try 33 Immortals on Steam Deck, it could very well consume me. And I’d welcome it with open arms. [Early Access Review]
