A new multiplayer experience through hell

’33 Immortals’ is the next release from Thunder Lotus Games studio, which promises to be a game-changer in the multiplayer genre. Designed for 33 players, this co-op roguelike is based on Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy”, a literary classic that serves as the backdrop to an aesthetically stunning and immersive game world.

Stéphane Lugier, Creative Director of Thunder Lotus Games, and his team of talented developers set an ambitious goal: to create a massively multiplayer online title with a new co-op experience, powered by an immersive world, designed with stunning art and hand-drawn animation. . The result was “33 Immortals,” a game that combines the best of classic literature with modern video game innovation.

The game takes place in the afterlife, where players, as souls doomed to eternal punishment, rebel against their fate and fight together against incredible creatures in a world full of epic landscapes. The game is built on the idea of ​​letting players jump right into epic, social, and co-op raid experiences.

One of the most cool aspects of 33 Immortals is its ability to encourage players to cooperate during matches, especially during the boss fights, which are massive and more like raids. It also allows players to customize their characters and strategies to meet the challenges that arise.

At EL TIEMPO we had the opportunity to test ’33 Immortals’ during the Xbox Game Show and were surprised by its dynamism. The game confronts us with waves of enemies and encourages strong cooperation between players.

Although the demo we had access to only had six players, the experience was manageable and collaborative. However, there is still concern about what it would be like to communicate with larger groups, such as 33 players in real time.

Although this title can be played solo (with CPU support), it offers a richer and more challenging experience when played in co-op mode. One example of this is special attacks that require the help of other players who must occupy specific locations on the map and press buttons at the same time.

“33 Immortals” is certainly a title that sparks curiosity and interest, and promises to be a worthwhile addition to the growing list of co-op gaming experiences. Pending to be released on Xbox Series X | S, Windows PC, Xbox Game Pass, and PC Game Pass in 2024 Gamers will have the opportunity to try out this exciting new game by participating in the beta later this year.
