What Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG with real-time elements during battles, set in a dark fantasy world. The game's narrative revolves around the Paintress, a powerful being who, once a year, paints a number on her monolith, causing everyone of that age to vanish. As the game begins, the Paintress is about to wake 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, offering more than just turn-based choices. Players can dodge, parry, and counter attacks, chain combos with rhythmic button presses, and use a free-aim system to target enemy weak points. For a deeper look, check out our Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 preview.
