    Despite not having its own identity, Immortal Unchained offers exactly what it proposes in its playable aspect. Any fan of 'Dark Souls'- like games will appreciate this game for its level design and fine tuned difficulty, despite its technical shortcomings.

    This has to be one of the more original Dark Souls-like games available, and anyone looking for a fresh take on the formula will be able to find enjoyment in Immortal: Unchained as long as they are willing to overlook a fair lack of polish.

    With a bit more polish this could have been a great game; the components are all there, but it manages to just stumble over the last little hurdle.

    Dark Souls was so popular, not simply because of its daunting challenge and difficulty, but its balanced and fair gameplay once you learned from your mistakes. That doesn’t really exist here as prominently with the major change to ranged combat. Sure it has the difficulty, but it’s lacking the soul and fun for the most part. This immortal should have stayed chained.

    There's room for a direct-to-TV rip of the Dark Souls formula, but at a current asking price of $50, Immortal: Unchained is impossible to recommend.

    Immortal: Unchained tries to survive in a futuristic Dark Souls universe but it dies trying due to its terrible attempt to be hard and its problems when we try to manage the histamine bar.

    Immortal: Unchained fails pretty much in every aspect, from its strongly unbalanced gameplay to its laughable animations and many technical problems, crashes included.

    I was very impressed with the weapon upgrade system because I could chop and change as much as I wanted and it meant that always felt inI was very impressed with the weapon upgrade system because I could chop and change as much as I wanted and it meant that always felt in control of my destiny. The presentation side of the game may not be perfect I actually found both the visuals and sound design carried quite a lot of uniqueness within them. The combat shines bright when involved in a boss fight and I really enjoyed tackling the challenging and very creative bosses because of this. I loved the story in the game because the lore keeps you interested at all times and it combined with the gameplay very well as well. The controls are tight and responsive at all times and when in full flow I haven’t experienced any problems with the controls. The reloading mechanic gets on your nerves pretty quickly because it seems to take forever to reload. Some of the level design is pretty good there just isn’t enough in terms of variety dotted throughout the levels. I think the game is a little overpriced for what you get. Does Immortal: Unchained do enough to get a recommendation from me? I followed the progress of Immortal: Unchained for quite a while because any game that has a Dark Souls vibe going for it gets my interest almost immediately. This game however is far from being a Dark Souls clone and it does offer some unique takes in this overcrowded genre which ultimately made me want to return back to the game time and time again. The combat that’s present in the game feels very satisfying and I was pleased that the controls held up really well throughout my time with the game. I would however have I liked the reloading times to be a little less because it takes an age for you to reload your gun which can cause you a few problems every now and then. Thankfully though this is the only problem when it comes to the weapons in the game and that’s mainly because this game features a fantastic weapon upgrade system. On the whole then Immortal: Unchained pretty much reached my lofty expectations but I do think it’s a little bit overpriced. That being said fans of these types of game’s still have to give this game a try because it’s thoroughly enjoyable.… Full Review »

    Very good game overall. I like the weapon system . I had a bit of trouble sometimes with the battles but it was ok. I have finished the gameVery good game overall. I like the weapon system . I had a bit of trouble sometimes with the battles but it was ok. I have finished the game so far in NG++ and i was not bored at all. I recomend it if you like souls games but a bit more forgiving if you balance your points correctly.… Full Review »
