Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is not just a successful game, selling over 2 million copies, but it also ignites discussions about the current state and future of RPGs and turn-based gameplay. Its impressive storytelling and gameplay draw parallels to notable predecessors like Lost Odyssey, which shares thematic elements of love and loss, along with a unique action-based combat system. This connection underlines how both games embody essential qualities of storytelling and mechanics that enrich the RPG experience.
Lost Odyssey's turn-based combat implemented an action element called the ring system. By hitting the timing ring just right, you boost the damage you cause.
Expedition 33 is a catalyst for the RPG genre as a whole, drawing comparisons to classics like Baldur's Gate 3, proving the enduring appeal of turn-based mechanics.
