Immortal, The

The Immortal is a cult masterpiece of the 16-bit console era, immersing the player into a terrifying world of dark fantasy. Playing as a nameless, elderly wizard, you must descend into the depths of a sinister underground Labyrinth to rescue your mentor. However, the dungeon is far from abandoned: it is gripped by a brutal war between goblins and trolls, and danger breathes from every corner. Isometric graphics, oppressive silence, and an eerie soundtrack create a unique atmosphere of despair, where you can rely only on your own wits and reflexes.

The gameplay rests on two pillars: isometric exploration and rhythmic duels. In adventure mode, you will have to solve cryptic puzzles and search for quest items, where any mistake is punished with instant death. In combat mode, the game transforms into a dynamic duel of endurance, requiring perfect timing for dodges and staff counterattacks. The game's true trademark was its unprecedented violence for 1991—featuring detailed, shockingly bloody, and spectacular animations for finishers and character deaths.
