Immortal: Unchained

Mechanics

Immortal: Unchained is a demanding RPG. Unlike other souls-like productions, the game described herein puts a strong emphasis on using firearms instead of melee weapons such as swords or axes. The combat revolves around medium and short distance battles and the key to success lies in player's mobility, positioning, and perfectly executed dodges. Even though the game requires one to prove his reflexes, it does not have much in common with the classic TPP shooters, such as Bloodborne.

Similarly to the Dark Souls series, during his adventure, player's character is bound to die very often. The developers from Toan Interactive have implemented a solution, which is nearly identical to the one featured in the games created by From Software in order to soften the consequences of a failure. Most importantly, with each death, a player learns a new lesson, allowing him to perform better against certain opponents – one can learn enemies' moves, attacks, etc. Moreover, upon his death, player's character loses all his items, however, they can be retrieved after a player reaches the place where his character died – provided he does not die on the way there.

Another aspect that is similar to the Dark Souls series is the in-game world design. The action of Immortal: Unchained is set in a fantasy world divided into a number of diverse locations, which are connected by a network called Stream.
