33 Immortals
Critic Reviews for 33 Immortals
I had oodles of fun with 33 Immortals and will definitely play it whenever I want some chaotic cooperative online multiplayer entertainment. ⚖️
33 Immortals is at its best when everything clicks. Those moments of 33 players synchronously dodging a massive boss attack, or a chaotic scramble turning into a clean team wipe on a tough enemy, are hard to find in other games. It captures a specific feeling, that big chaotic raid energy from MMOs, but compresses it into a 30-to-60 minute session with zero prep, no lobbies, and no coordination required beyond emotes.
33 Immortals is a game which, despite the release of version 1.0, remains a somewhat half-baked experiment. It certainly boasts an original core concept, a consistent aesthetic and a well-crafted co-op structure, but it falls short in terms of variety, storytelling and systemic depth. When played with the right group, it can offer some genuinely enjoyable sessions, but when tackled alone or with expectations of a much more polished roguelike, it soon reveals its limitations. Given its modest price, we can’t help but recommend it to fans of the genre, as we’re confident it will provide plenty of satisfaction.

33 Immortals nails something few co-op games manage, the genuine thrill of trusting a stranger's name on your screen with your life. When the group clicks, boss fights turn into electric, coordinated chaos that feels like raiding in an MMO without the scheduling headache. But that same dependence on randoms is the game's Achilles' heel, runs that should take twenty minutes can drag into a tedious slog the moment your team falls apart, and the repetitive art direction doesn't help you stay invested through the rough patches. It's an ambitious, occasionally exhilarating idea that hasn't fully sanded down its rough edges.

33 Immortals elevates the Roguelike genre to a massive scale, combining a frenetic combat system with a deep progression system, where every foray into the Afterlife counts and every upgrade brings you closer to glory.

33 Immortals is a truly unique and fun title that manages to make its 33-player cooperative online component its greatest strength, but also its greatest limitation.

33 Immortals is a game I admire more than I love. The concept is excellent. The first few hours are exciting. The large-scale co-op roguelite structure feels fresh, and the Divine Comedy framing gives it a memorable identity. But the in-run upgrades, relics, and meta progression are too conservative for the kind of game this wants to be.
33 Immortals could easily have been a gimmick. Instead, Thunder Lotus has created something that feels genuinely fresh within the roguelike genre. The 33-player structure isn’t just a marketing hook; it’s woven directly into the gameplay and creates memorable moments that simply wouldn’t exist in a traditional roguelike. The combat is enjoyable, the progression system is rewarding, the presentation is excellent and the cooperative focus works far better than I expected. Most importantly, it captures something that many online games struggle with: the feeling that everyone is working together without getting in each other’s way. For a concept that sounded almost impossible on paper, 33 Immortals ends up being a surprisingly successful rebellion.
