Thunder Lotus, the indie team behind emotionally-charged management sim Spiritfarer, is gearing up to release its roguelike, 33 Immortals – a game we finally have a release date for thanks to a new Summer Game Fest reveal.
During tonight's Day of the Devs showcase, we were graced with many a good sneak peek and teaser – 33 Immortals included. In case you've not heard of it, it's a unique new game from Spiritfarer dev Thunder Lotus… although it honestly looks nothing like its tear-jerking predecessor. It feels like some unholy (in the best way) blend of Hades, World of Warcraft, and Diablo 4, with all the action a title could possibly pack in.
If you're out of the loop, Thunder Lotus describes the game it's been working on "for the past seven years" as a title in which you "jump straight into the action through instant matchmaking." There's "no waiting around" here, which means it's constant combat and chaos – just how I like it.
"You tear through hordes of enemies sent by God to punish you and rebel against the wrath of God together." And, if you prefer to go it solo, you can choose how you want to experience 33 Immortals.
Alone or with up to three friends – because, as the devs put it, "In 33 Immortals, everything is about cooperation." You'll probably die a lot, but that's all right, it's how you get stronger. I'd wager the roguelike loop will keep us all coming back for more, as the genre tends to do.
The overarching theme is nice, too. Much like Hades is inspired by Greek mythology, 33 Immortals draws from Dante Alighieri's literary masterpiece, the Divine Comedy. I'm a big fan of the aesthetic here as well – which isn't all that surprising, considering how visually beautiful (and moving) Spiritfarer was.
There's not long left to wait now for it, either: 33 Immortals is set to release this summer on June 10. That leaves just a few days until we can hop in and tackle Gods with other players.
If you're sold on the new Thunder Lotus title just as I am, you can check its demo out for free on Steam – just don't get too hooked.
