About
Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone past that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.
We are Expedition 33.

내 인생 최고의 게임 소울류 게임을 극혐하지만 다른 장점들이 내 취향마저 넘어설정도로 좋음 그래픽 좋은 게임은 많지만 전투 마저 좋은 게임은 그 중 일부고 스토리마저 좋은 게임은 극히 일부다. 하지만 ost 까지 완벽한 게임은 33원정대 하나 일듯 단점이 없는 완벽한 게임
quite simply put, this is one of the best games I have EVER played...and I've been gaming for a very long time!
Uma trila sonora que vem com um jogo de graça. Simplesmente perfeito, GOTY merecido.
Simply put, the greatest, turn based, story, game ever made. The Greatest Game ever made. One of the only games to make me cry. One of the only games that had me invested in the story. The only turn based game with combat that feels alive. The Game.
TRUE GOTY 2025
Silence, mes amis, a Gestral Beach is talking. I honestly, wasn't expecting this game to be so "wheee" when I bought it, I just thought it kinda looked like a Final Fantasy-esque game. But omg, the story puts Final Fantasy to shame.
好玩!画风是我喜欢的,反击的打击感也做的一流,值得推荐
Best game
