    This is 2025 Game of the Year!

    This is 2025 Game of the Year! The combat system, music, graphics, story, etc. are all amazing and very memorable. This will win GOTY. Mark my words. This year is packed full of great games, but this one, from a new studio, and with a team of 33 people, you can’t beat it. It’s very good. It’s one of those games you can’t put down.

    Expedition 33 "For those who come after"

    This is a wonderful game. The music, art direction, characters, and story are superb. The story is similar to that of a book you just can't put down. The combat is fun and fast with a parry/dodge mechanic that players will need to master to succeed. If you're someone who is not abfan of turn based games this might be the one to change your mind. Also, Esquie!!

    Stunning game

    Who needs triple - A or “Quadruple-A” titles when a small studio can produce a masterpiece like this? Expedition 33 truly shows that the developers poured their hearts into making the game. From the amazing design of the characters and the world, the wonderful voice acting, the fantastic story, and the amazing soundtrack. I cannot praise this game enough. If youre a fan of JRPGs, this game has done a fantastic job at using old school jrpg elements while keeping with the modern touch. Do yourself a favor and buy the game!
