About Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

PlayDeveloped by French studio Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur blends tactical turn-based combat with real-time action elements. Set in a dark fantasy world where an entity called the Paintress annually erases everyone of a selected age, the game follows Expedition 33 - a group of 33-year-olds determined to kill the Paintress before she targets their generation.

The innovative battle system stands out as a key feature. While maintaining turn-based foundations, players can actively dodge, parry, and counter enemy attacks. Combat incorporates rhythmic button inputs for chaining combos and a free-aim system targeting enemy weak points. For deeper analysis, check out our Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 preview.
