Do you miss playing beautiful RPGs that are not washed-out slops and want to experience something similar yet better than the entire Final Fantasy series? Then the wait is over, my fellow adventurer, because Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will cater to all your needs.
Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is the latest buzz right now, and we are absolutely loving the hype that the title is bringing in, along with the somber musical scores by Lorien Testard. While the gameplay of the title has a nostalgic feeling to it, it is not your typical turn-based experience. Let’s delve deeper into this.
Does Expedition 33 use turn-based combat or real-time mechanics?
Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is the debut game for a small French developer company known as Sandfall Interactive, and although the gameplay is heavily inspired by classic Japanese RPGs like Dragon Quest or Persona, it does not quite follow the rules of traditional turn-based combat.
