Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a RPG developed by France-based Sandfall Interactive . CEO and Creative Director Guillaume Broch received the Game of the Year trophy. This outfit is modeled after the 'Baguette' costume that appears in the game.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 employs a turn-based, command-based combat system that combines precise evasion and parrying. A successful parry neutralizes the opponent's attack while saving your own AP. This balances risk and reward, allowing players to enjoy tense, turn-based combat. The game's beautiful, meticulously crafted graphics and captivating story are also appealing. To get a feel for the atmosphere of the game, check out the video below.
By the way, since Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was a difficult title for Japanese people to remember, it is also commonly referred to as 'Nantoga 33.' Ifyou search for the phrase 'Nantoga 33' on Google , Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will definitely come up as a hit.
