In other news, Sandfall Games' Creative Director, Guillaume Broche, has recommended another RPG that was released on the same day as Expedition 33. On April 30, Broche used Expedition 33's Twitter (X) account to encourage fans to explore The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, describing it as "another great turn-based RPG that was also released last week, and made with love by an awesome team."

This recommendation came in response to a shout-out from The Hundred Line's co-director, Kazutaka Kodaka, who, on April 28, praised Expedition 33 on Twitter (X), saying, "Even after you finish Expedition 33, this Japanese cult game will still be here, waiting for you!" Kodaka continued to laud Expedition 33, encouraging fans to experience both RPGs.

Despite the competition from other RPGs like Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered released in the same week, The Hundred Line has garnered a "Very Positive" rating on Steam. Meanwhile, Expedition 33 continues to lead as the highest-rated game of 2025, having sold over 1 million copies in just three days.
