, and though I initially tried to fade into the pixels and treat it as a single-player game, I quickly found myself emoting and seeking groups of warriors to join.

Every few Torture Chambers, divine punishment strikes—fire tornados, meteors, and other deadly hazards force you to stay on the move or be wiped out. This Wrath of God intensifies until 12 chambers are cleared, triggering Holy Fire and the final sprint to the Ascension Battles.

While not a full-fledged MMO, it borrows elements from large-scale raids, where success depends on cooperation and positioning rather than individual mastery of the game.

Luckily, allies can join the chamber any time after a fight starts, up to six Completa, and pelo one can voluntarily leave until two swarms have been cleared. Each Torture Chamber rewards successful teams with two relic chests containing useful items and bones. One chest is always locked, requiring a key to spill its goods. You can carry up to eight relics at a time, buffing your stats in various ways, and you’re able to reroll chest items for a fairly low price.

I’ve seen players perish multiple times attempting to activate these when a massive attack is about to hit or a trap is set to activate. If successful though, the result is almost always worth it. While the cooldown can be high, activating them can rain down arrows, slow enemies within an area, offer shields to allies, and more, with each player having access to one co-op power depending on their chosen weapon.

You’ll also find Charon, who manages the in-game shop, where you can equip and manage cosmetics for your Soul. One of those customization options is a pet by your side – I’ve got my eye on a little beagle companion.

Large-scale multiplayer games aren’t uncommon, and the same goes for roguelikes with meta progression and precise combat as well as titles that require cooperative play against hordes of enemies.

Mass multiplayer dungeon diving being its primary strength can also be a pitfall if not enough players end up being available to sustain it in a few months’ time. Game Pass is a valuable launch platform in this regard, but not having a Steam version may hurt the game more than a little.

Nearby, Charon manages cosmetics, all currently unlockable for free using cosmetic tokens found in runs. To the north, Beatrice grants you Feats, which unlock new 33 Immortals Gameplay gameplay features, while the eight Weapon Altars around her will let you pick which one you want to defy divine judgement with.

The studio is already teasing a third gate for runs that will take place in a heavenly land, but this is slated to arrive later in 2025.

Every time I perished in a run, I was already thinking of how I could make the next better, trying not to rely on the chance-based item drops. In the beginning, I simply wanted to rush to the boss level, so it was all about using valuable resources to report to nearby Torture Chambers and finishing them as fast as possible. Once I had my soul’s ass thoroughly beat, I slowed the pace down and made sure to get some personal upgrades in between the dungeons, which meant sticking with groups that were farming enemies and world items instead of just the dungeons.

is masterfully crafted, making every hit and enemy attack feel weighty and impactful. Each sound is drawn out to perfection, whether it’s the satisfying clash of weapons or the eerie whispers of the damned in the background. The soundtrack complements this beautifully—calm and atmospheric during exploration, yet swelling into epic intensity when battles heat up.

There are also the co-op abilities attached to every class, which is one of my favorite feature implementation in the game. Holding down this button makes your character slam down a massive rune on the ground, making specific areas where more players must stand and activate them together. This can be extremely perilous when so many enemies are on screen.
