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.

Just play it. The story and world building are absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bonkers good - I dont even like turn based games but this is just FUN.
Maelle's ending leaves you with a sense of regret and is nothing more than a beautiful lie for those who can't or simply don't want to move on from their grief. On the other hand, Verso's ending is the more reasonable one, even though it means facing a harsh truth... Awesome game!
Despues de mas de 100 horas de juego y obtener el platino del mismo, puedo decir sin ninguna duda que expedition 33 es de los mejores juegos que jamas haya jugado, conteniendo la mejor banda sonora, el mejor gameplay para un rpg por turnos, y la historia mas hermosamente desgarradora que jamas haya visto, un 10/10 (Pudrete en el infierno Simon)
Perfeito!
ABSOLUTE CINEMA

well deserved goty <3
Fantastic game that hits on every aspect. Great combat, amazing music and designs, engaging story all the way through, plenty of interesting end-game content to keep you busy if you so desire. Well deserving of all the GOTY awards it won last year.
Simply masterpiece. I begun my journey. Instantly art around the city was fascinating. Still somehow felt, it would be 3rd person rpg or something. Didnt expect anything. Then i sailed into the world. World was big. Creatures originally designed, feel for colours and lore was hyping me up. Then i perfected combat. Game suddenly felt kinda easy, but still new monsters appeared with new mechanics. I mastered maelle, gustav, luna... I enjoyed every minute of the game, a that is something most games currently lacking. 10/10
one of the best game ever made
